This is, perhaps, not as relevant with regard to NC, as the intent of
NC is probably to not allow the transfer of copies for money. But
CC-BY-SA has no such restriction.
Under CC-BY-SA, anyone is free to make copies and sell them. Anyone
receiving those puchased copies (*) then has the right, under the
doctrine of first sale, to distribute those copies as part of a
collection, so long as that collection does not constitute a
derivative work.
The trigger for the license in this case would not be the act of
copying, it would be the act of preparing a derivative work.
(*) I don't see what the legal difference is if the purchase price is
$0, but since CC-BY-SA clearly allows the sale of copies, this is
irrelevant.
