Post your rare TPG plastic here - would love to see PCGS, NGC, Compugrade, Hallmark, Samples, etc. 
I'll start with a Compugrade Saint.
"My friends who see my collection sometimes ask what something costs. I tell them and they are in awe at my stupidity." (Baccaruda, 12/03).I find it hard to believe that he (Trump) rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world.

Here's another rare one - resealable holder made for the Smithsonian collection - allows access for research.
Picked up this Hallmark just a few weeks ago on the BST
My Collection of Old Holders
Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I believe this one is a short lived transition holder, NGC 6 per Conder101 used for a brief time in 1996.

Compugrade-the holder I've kept even after clearing out many others:
While not super rare, here is another you don't see too often:

Not a slab holder but a neat G.S.N.A. auction flip

And old Accugrade and INS photo slabs, sorry the white balance was off on these photos.

And an old ANACS to finish

Rare NGC Sample. Only one I have seen with the MS63 grade. The Sample Slabs book only shows the MS60 version.
Cool stuff -here's another MS63 NGC sample I used to own (or maybe still do??????).
PCGS Generation 3.5, now with green bean. Per Conder -- https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/222533/as-promised-the-pcgs-generations-with-pictures-very-long-updated-10-27-06/p1 (sadly images are now gone
). Identifying features: two-piece slab, PCGS initials at top center of label, die-cut smooth edge label, large font serial numbers starting to the left of barcode, likely only produced last week of December 1989.
Edit to add - PCGS Generation 2.2 (Dec 89 - Jan 90) -- if you go by the PCGS Museum of Coin Holders.

Sure wish I still had this one!!!
Took a decent little profit, but sold way too soon.
1921 Peace, MS63, in an old ANACS (ANA) small white alpha-numeric holder --
A common date Morgan Dollar in the same style holder --

Wow real nice Buff. Great color and strike
USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.
Don't see many of these

Here is a pic from a thread I started about a week ago but I see some nice ones in the above posts I'd like to get my hands on. I have added a few more since this picture was taken (thanks @Cameonut):
Here is one of my new additions:
Here is the current list in my collection:
From my ANACS sample collection:
Here's a sample that has a label design we were considering but ultimately rejected because they were too difficult to print on:
And one given to employees when ANACS moved to Austin:
This one was made for the local coin club in Austin:
Others:
And one for the PAN show 2020 that never happened. A gift from @shortnock
That's an impressive display of TPG plastic!!!
pretty nifty. not accustomed to seeing legit coins in sub-par holders. nice pickup.
you know as a side-note, as many big ticket items that centsless sells on ebay in those holders, i'm amazed we don't see them posted here, like virtually ever. is it because the members here know better? (for some reason seeing the decent coin in that type of holder made my brain go to the only other know holder type i've seen decent coins in that were the top tpgs.

A new addition on the way from my nephew:
Picked this rare plastic piece up this week... holds five pieces of old PCGS plastic nicely... customer had these put away for 30+ years. Cool!

Here’s a brother to all the old anacs slabs. This one has the red lettering on reverse of slab. Didn’t notice it on the other pictures
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
That's a Ruffco product I've never seen - nice!
Just picked up my first PCGS regency holder , complete with the drawstring bag.
It's all about what the people want...
really cool CCCS holder!
A couple Gen 1.2's
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
The CCCS slab above made me remember this one I have… it’s a one off - 1994 the only year they made a 1/15oz platinum maple leaf with a $2 denomination.
I really like that it’s a low mintage (less than 1500) Canadian coin in a Canadian holder… enjoy!
It's all about what the people want...
Still laugh when I recall buying this one - offered so much that I think the guy thought I was nuts - he threw in several more slabs with it.
Only known Franklin sample in a rattler slab.
Not sure when this was graded but it does have a low number.
A few recent pick-ups (last three weeks) to add to my "Yup, I bought the holder - Part 3" thread...
Oh my - we need to talk! Do you remember Monte Hall on Let's Make a Deal?
Tim
OMG - yes, let's make a deal!
Who can help me with information on a few samples? Thanks in advance.
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Believe this to be generation 1. Sorry for the uncropped pics.
From the 1958 R.E. Cox collection.

is this theoretical or did you actually find it?
It's the real deal - posted 2 of them in the Compugrade thread, purchased both earlier this year. Here's the other. They walked into a dealers shop with 4 Morgans, also Compugrade - was able to make a deal to acquire both.
Had this one for about 4 years
