Does anyone know approximately when PCGS changed from the green storage box to the blue?

    As a token of my appreciation, I'll mail you both one. Truthfully, I was suprised at the bargain.

    I sent Don an E-bay email saying "Bad Don, I say this one first"image, I really wanted it so I could send you too one of them and sell one to Braddickimage. He's keeping me well supplied in sample slabs... The MS00 registry set is coming along just fine...
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Hey Russ and Don,
    Did either of you see the auction for a sealed $500 bag of 1964 Kennedy's??? The reserve wasn't met but I went for it...

    I've seen those green boxes a few times on eBay but heck all of my coin storage boxes are blue, I have both PCGS slab boxes and whitman plastic 2x2 storage boxes. All blue baby. I wonder how long it'll be before PCGS switches to red?

    I was following that auction for awhile too, but I decided I didn't need 20 sample slabs all the same as one I already had.
