    Got plenty of spare blue ones. Good enough.

    Now a two day economy priced turn around would be nice. (And they can keep the box)

    I keep waiting for a good special. Sigh.

    I think you better buy a big strong safe for those !!!

    I like the green, I think it's much more attractive than the blue. Not quarterly special worthy though considering they usually send a blue box anyway.

    I get my coins back in a blue box each time, what's so special about a "green" box. Can we put garbage in it, no, too small. Does it come with extra coins? Not unless I pay. Anybody want to buy mine? Probably not. Blue will be ok with me.

    How is the retro green box different from the original??

    ...something about the button box that says “GET DETAILS” about submitting coins for grading just doesn’t seem right???...maybe I am the only one; I usually am ;)

  • jdimmickjdimmick Posts: 9,698 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I hope the green retro boxes are better than the actual labels.

    This is awful news for me

    I got green boxes back from pcgs when I put in for 30th anniversary green labels a few years ago on the coins I sent in for grading. I love the retro labels and the green boxes go for about 25 dollars each on e bay

  • RogerBRogerB Posts: 8,852 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Do they have "eightherly" or "halferly" specials including straw hats, or clear boxes? :)

    Since PCGS is so nostalgic, does this mean that the order is also graded by OGH standards? That wouldn't be a special at all.

    When I saw this advertisement, my first thought was; "did they find an old warehoused stash" or "are these new retro style, like the labels". If they are the old originals, then yes, I would like one. If they are retro-new...no thanks.

    I would not mind having one to put my "keeps, not to be sold" PCGS holders in.

    Just read the announcement..."retro new". Boooo!

    My first thought was that PCGS had ordered too many and the boxes were becoming a nuisance because of a lack of demand. What better way to get rid of material that you would take a loss on then by offering it for "free" as a promotion which can likely be deducted as business expenses at tax time?

    But...but...they are retro...not the real thing. (sarcasm)

    I wish they offer the cross or free shipping instep of free box. I guess I will submit after October.

    Time for more colors. Red, black, silver, orange, yellow, purple. No pink. Clear would be nice too.

    Pink is important to get more YNs in to the hobby.

    They could go great with these :)

    I still see the Mint box at the specials page through the end of June.

    If they are handing out the green box, does that mean the mint boxes are out of stock?
