Hello -
I very much like collecting NGC ephemera and I am interested in adding one of these to my collection.
Can’t seem to find many out there but I think they are very neat.
Thanks for any information in advance!

I remember these quite well, but they weren't common even when they were offered by NGC.
As a side note, you can see how dated the original pamphlet is as it states "The excitement of coin collecting is back...with a view toward the 21st Century." Well, we're getting on about a quarter of the way through the 21st century already! Additionally, you will note that there is telephone and Fax information, but no web presence on the first pamphlet.
Lastly, am I reading this wrong or is there a typo in the first paragraph of the pamphlet where NGC is written as NCG?

I have a small collection of them. In addition to the folders, I have some large and small format single sheet ones.

Here’s another single sheet one. Looks like they left off the NGC logo on special request.

Interesting research, good job at that.
I remember sitting on a chair in my aunt's guest bedroom when everyone was asleep.
On the desk was, i think, one of the first Apple PC's. I tried to power it up, scratch that, I tried to turn it on.
Wow, I, thought. I need a password just to turn it on ?
The unit was very small, I do remember that. The logo was very cool looking , like a bug to a light.
Any way, the reason I shared that is, Do you have a date when this feature started for NGC ?
@TomB there is most definitely a typo in that first paragraph. They needed to do more proofing on their material it seems.

I got a bunch free when I got the best presented set award the first year they ran their registry. It was for my Morgan prooflike set. So I sent in some of the better ones from the set. They even did the PCGS ones. The NGC ones in very old holders came back in new holders. That might bother some people, but I preferred it. Still have the photo proofs but not the coins.
All these stories are very cool! Thanks everyone.
