I won some sort of early contest. Thought I'd share my winnings here.

It's Vaultbox for the hobby elites.
will cacg NOT make a lot of early sample slabs thus giving hope for collectibility?
Ill hold on to it for a while in the hopes it will have some interest in the future.
From what I have seen on social media, it seems there's maybe a dozen to fifteen of these pre-release sample slabs out there now. Looks like about half have been opened, half remain in the pre-release packaging. So I would say yes, there is hope for collectibility here already. I've been told by a trusted source at least one has traded hands for $200.
There is a guy on IG that was paying big money to get some of these. Last that I recall, it was $200-$1k+ depending on if it was sealed or not sealed and the type of packaging.
eh
Looks like there were 100 of these issued.
91 "standard green labels", and 9 that were NOT "standard green labels" (e.g., "wild bear label").

Edited for a typo.
The coins are actually pretty nice, but it seems like there’s not much upside potential. I think it will be a reasonable distribution where no one gets clobbered, but no one really comes out ahead.

Now that I bought my first CACG coin, I see the irony in Witter Brick partnering with CACG.
I posted mine being opened on IG. Sold it the next day for $250.
"Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill"
There should be several thousand of them out there, as they were given to every new member of CAC. It's certainly a different design with a large protecting "window" over the coin.
Does "Gem BU" mean anything?
The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true.
Chandler is in on the CACG gig, too.
Incentive to go back to collecting raw.
I think you might be confusing the CACG Sample Slabs with the CACG WitterBrick Sample Slabs. With that said, at the time it didn't seem as if there were more than a dozen or so available; the total population appears to be around 25 - 30 at this moment. Several have traded in the $200 - $500 range, with the higher end being for sealed ones.
Better than "Choice BU" but not as good as "Gem BU +" or "Gem BU ++".
Regarding the CACG Sample Slabs, the GC website MyCollect.com, which has a Registry which allows for coins graded by PCGS, NGC and CACG, they’ve designed a specific Registry “Showcase & Custom Set” for “2023 CACG Sample Set”, which requires one of each of 13 different CACG sample slabs!

My collecting “Pride & Joy” is my PCGS Registry Dansco 7070 Set:

I have a CACG Sample slab, not a "Witter brick," whatever that is. Mine has a MS61 2006-D Jeff Nickel overgraded as "Choice BU"
Yes, there are a lot more of what you have than the WitterBrick CACG Sample Slabs (which all had ASE's in them), hence the premium for one vs. the other. Yours still has a premium to some collectors out there, I've seen them trade in the $30 - $60 range.
To each his own. To me, mis-graded pocket change in sample slab registry sets is ridiculous.
So you're saying this ISN'T Choice BU?
