there are two possibilities that I see: they are using gem Green boxes from submissions or when they moved a while ago they found some that they had stashed away. it is almost certain that it isn't what roger thinks, that they got a better price on green so they bought them.

There was a special last year about retro green boxes with a minimum submission.. Left overs?

That's where you put all your CAC coins.
Why does it matter what color the plastic box is? Presumably, PCGS buys whatever is the lowest unit price box, provided the color is palatable.
It matters because together with the blue boxes it gives the appearance that I am a Seahawks fan.
they sell in the 20 dollar area on e bay. I got a green box when I ordered the special retro green labels on my submission about 3 years ago
My original green PCGS box is where I have my keepers!

I love those green boxes, place my old green label slabs in them !!!
Got one yesterday on my latest submission. Very nice, thanks PCGS!
