Anyone know what these PCGS "Trader Bea" holders are (promotional item, dealer bulk sub, ....)?

I recall seeing one of these at the ANA show and now ran across a few on eBay.
There is some sort of colorful slab insert and it says "Trader Bea" on the label.
Anyone have any info on what these are or where they came from?

Edit: I see there are also NGC versions. Is it some YouTube or other social media platform seller that got special slabs made?

    Update: I looked on Instagram and there is a person with that name that sells on Whatnot.
    So that seems to answer the question.
    It is interesting that PCGS and NGC did custom slabs for someone (but maybe that is a new revenue stream).

    Yes, TraderBea (aka Bjorn) is one of the biggest coin / currency / bullion sellers on WN. I'd imagine he would have had to just spend enough $$ with PCGS to be able to get custom labels on a basic bulk submission. It's no different than Rick Tomaska or someone else in a similar position doing it.
