[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 9982893, member: 360"]Is this something cobbled together from a bunch of different sets to make one set? Short answer: Yes. The myriads suite (the numbered suite in Chinese characters) which are both numbered, and un-numbered. A complete set would have them ALL NUMBERED or ALL UN-NUMBERED. Same goes for the coins suite, and the strings of coins suite. Since they're a mix of numbered and un-numbered, that means it's at least two different sets married together to make one set. Unfortunately, these sets are fairly expensive. I bought mine at a flea-market for about $180. I saw ANOTHER set almost identical (didn't buy it), at an antiques fair a few months later, for $450!![/QUOTE]
