I bought a 15 piece set of stainless steel cookware from Sam's Club in 1998 for $99. It is the best cookware I have ever used. It was a limited special buy at the time and not that many to sell. The box was plain no brand markings, just a picture of the cookware and it said copper core cookware. No open set to look at. My DD had just moved into her first apartment so I bought two sets. I'm so glad I did. On the bottom of the cookware it says All Clad! This same set is listed for over $2000 at stores now.
