Like was stated before they are attempting to create a collectible. As an AFOL and a coin collector I think its a little absurd to encapsulate a lego set with the exception of if it was a very old set or just because it was a favorite set that u wanted to protect for yourself. Coins being graded and then encapsulated I do agree with because of the ease which they can be damaged and the huge price difference that can occur from the slightest little ding.
