Calendars are like home phones, no one under the age of 45 has any use for them.
However, I understand why they are still popular with the coin crowd.

We have a member here who does a yearly calendar... I can't think of who off the top of my head. Now that I think about it, I need one.
More importantly... let's see bigger photo's of that Redfield Morgan in your profile pic! That looks amazing.

I always gave my calendar to my LCS owner. He will be disappointed not getting one this year....
Use the 1996 PCGS calendar and you're all good.
Edited to add: 1996 and 2024 calendars all have the same date positions.

that is sad and not sure what percentage of the costs were covered by 'advertising'
My home office has two land-line phones and a 2023 PCGS calendar on the wall (but not for long since 2023 is over).
I'm 65, so I guess that explains it. But my phones never need recharging, never "drop" a call, and are relatively cheap.
I can draw cartoons and messages on my paper calendar if I want (and I do want).
I like a home phone, but finally let it go because it was a magnet for junk calls.
Maybe under 60...
Don't feel badly, my 85 year old mother still has a land line and a calendar on the fridge that she scribbles on.
Just one more perk that bites the dust.................

Ian gave submitters a gorgeous calendar this year. Thank you Ian.
I doubt it will cause PCGS much of a problem as most people utilize cell phones for dates/appts and such, but the coin photos are great.

I use the Aztec calendar on the back of my 20 Peso Mexican gold coin. It's a little different but it works for me.

Look at Charmy's report, with pics of the bourse. You are hard pressed to find anyone under the age of 55. (Including me) I loved that wall calendar, and the lovely coins that were in it.
I think this was the youngest guy there!
That would be @messydesk . Here’s a link to an announcement he made on MyCollect about the 2024 calendars https://www.mycollect.com/posts/72685

Does anyone look at a calendar on the wall anymore to get the date ?
I do all the time. It helps me when I’m signing documents at work to get the date right. I look at the walk calendar every time I sign something, which is usually 5 to 10 times a day

Thanks. I started a new thread with the full size image, so as not to hijack my own thread!
Maybe PCGS should look into producing a coin themed Dementia clock......might just be as popular and financially rewarding as the Registry Set idea.

Took me a second. Lol
I saw Great Collections had a very nice calendar at the Winter FUN show. They had some nice iconic coins in there. No dimes though and certainly no Monster Toned Mercury Dimes. I like Ian’s strategy though! Gotta leave room for improvement for next year.
Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
I loved their calendars, they had amazing coin photos on them. I have saved each and every one just because they were worth looking at!
It’s too bad, it was kind of a customer good will offering.
I made them again this year, but I'm sold out.

Not everyone needs to be so modern. My landline does not even have an answering machine. If I don't answer, call again another time. I have no cell phone other than the one my son gave to take pics with (not connected to cell service). I use the calendar everyday to track things like appointments and to use as a sort of diary of family events.
My computer is modern and up to date and my car is a 2013 chevy, 4 door impala.
Hmmm,
Life is great! Even at 77 it's wonderful!

vegas, baby!
I don't agree, I'm over 45 and have 3 in the house.
Hording tendencies?
I was really looking for mine, always have it right by my desk on wall at shop. But thanks to GC, got one of theirs today, thank you Ian
Probably some collectors wish they had hoarded a few of these.
Many are going for a pretty penny on eBay:

I do. And also use my sundial in the back yard for the time.
I would assume that since these are "first strike" calendars they might take on a bit of a collectible status. They are of high quality and pleasing to the eye.
I bet you use a flashlight to check the time at night.

Not worried about it - picked up a Great Collections calendar at the FUN show and, on Monday, a calendar from StacksBowers arrived in the mail. This old Boomer is really covered for 2024 now!

What is this thing you call a flashlight.
Will it replace my oil lamp?
Seriously ? 5 to 10 times at work. That’s like every hour my memory has gone to shit but I think I can remember the date longer than an hour.
I broke down and bought the 2024 Great Collections version on eBay for $9.99

Wow. Mine's for sale at that price!

Had mine graded and put into a slab, but now I can't turn the pages...
Send it to PSA for grading.

FYI.
I took off my auto renew of my PCGS annual renewal. They have sent several emails (all the same) asking that i renew (probably won't). The email lists a complimentary 2024 calendar if I renew. I just received the last one yesterday.
I would hate to ruin it for resellers on eBay, but if anyone would like one of our calendars, please email me your name/address (to ian@greatcollections.com) and we will mail you one on Monday. We have about 100 left.
Due to the positive response, we are going to do one each year now.

Don't forget that the post office is closed on Monday since it's a federal holiday for MLK's birthday. Also, no mail delivery on Monday. Enjoy your long weekend.

A buddy of mine posted on Facebook: the moon is of great help at night as it gives us light to see, but the sun is useless during the day as we already have plenty of light!
Sounds logical to me! 🤔😂
I have to review and approve tons of documents and every once in a while I put the wrong date when I’m in a hurry.. It’s a pain because then I have to cross out the wrong date and write in the correct date and then I have to initial it and write in the date again for regulatory reasons. I hate doing that so I look at the calendar each time so I don’t have to make that correction.
