It's nothing new and I have seen this done by many major auction houses. I really don't mind it either as it promotes aggressive bidding. Far fewer bidders would be interested in (and could afford) chasing a high grade set of a certain issue then would be in play for certain singles, which in turn forces the few buyers bidding on the set to be more aggressive - a win/win play for sellers. Higher realized prices ----> More sellers ----> More items -----> Better Auctions.
