PCGS blue boxes $2 each...many to sell, help me clear them out.

mnmcoin · November 11, 2003 11:58AM

I have a few hundred of these I would like to move out. Seen these sell here and on ebay for well over the $2 mark. Shipping will be extra, but as close to actuall USPS shipping. I believe they weigh 13 oz. each so even one would have to go priority at $3.85 for shipping, but if you get more than one, I think the shipping charge starts to be more managable.

PM me with a count of how many you want and I will figure out the total.

Are these registry quality boxes?

Unfair comment as a purveyor of a competing product ...

Darn good price, Morris ...

dbldie55 · November 11, 2003 1:06PM

Russ is right, what in the h*ll do these have to do with this board. This is spam, pure and clear. Heck, send coins to PCGS for grading (you know, the company who pays for these boards) and they will give you a box. They gave me a box for one re-holder, I didn't even really want it.

wondercoin · November 11, 2003 1:35PM

Me agreeing with dbldie on a topic on this board - I better not even consider it

But, the boxes have to go unless you include a free Registry quality slab with each box ordered. Now there is an idea.

Hey guys, give Morris a break!

It is highly likely, that at one time, the boxes contained / held "set registry" material.

Clankeye · November 12, 2003 5:24AM

I just registered my boxes, and I'm already #18 on the all time finest list!

Do the green boxes have to be listed in the Varieties Set?

Clankeye · November 12, 2003 6:07AM

No, and that's good.

But, I have to tell you, I can't understand why PCGS won't let me register my NGC boxes.

Buy the box--not the coin! What difference could it possibly make?

Thanks Morris for the offer. I believe this must be the right forum to put this in because of all the feedbacks you recieved.
Thanks

The green boxes tend to be undergraded. Crack them out and resubmit them.

If the box does'nt fit,you must resubmit.

Not to interefere with Morris' sale here, but, any forum member who wants to treat me to a moderate priced lunch here in S CAL (just no fast food please), can have 25 boxes free when we meet in the parking lot of the restaurant. Just PM me - I am free all week for lunch (while supplies last and one lunch/free box offer per forum member and his immediate family provided he/she does not work for CU)

A Dinky PCGS box in exchange for a Good Sized NGC box if it Crosses Over. Not a fair cross at all.

P.S. Redcents - you earned 50 free boxes with your delightful dinner in Dallas last week. Anytime you are in S CAL, feel free to claim your 50 boxes (non-transferable)

WalkerGuy · November 12, 2003 12:50PM

I believe I have and error that is probably very desirable. The lid does not fit the box. Is this a variety, or and error. If I have two lids for one box is it a double box and potentially valuable?

Does anyone else think that all of the "This doesn't belong here" comments have killed this board. I remember when this board was very active with new information and threads all day long. Now, the same threads will be on the front page for a week. I believe that all of the negativity is to blame for this marked decrease in use.

I suppose the germans had nothing good to say about their leaders in WWII, so they didn't. Thank god someone else had something to say. When someone does something wrong, it should be brought to the attention, no buried.

<< Does anyone else think that all of the "This doesn't belong here" comments have killed this board >>

DRG, no, on the contrary, I believe that a number of threads started here, such as this one (though it is admittedly an extreme case), are responsible for "killing this board".

I previously commented, on more than one occasion, that this place was becoming more and more like the BST forum and I took considerable heat for it. But, I believe there was some merit to my concerns.

Question: If PCGS pays 50 cents for old inserts how much do they pay to reclaim their "bluebies"

Fairlaneman · November 12, 2003 11:06PM

This thread shows that the Registry people have a sense of humor.....a Good Item to have. I believe humor was questioned yesterday on the Coin Forum. That thread should have been banished to the Open Forum, correct ? Yep, selling boxes here might not be cool but it brought out some replys and a little fun to boot.

A little Banter around here has been sorely missed in the last year or so. Some of the shirts need deflation in my so very humble opinion.

Ken

coinguy1 · November 12, 2003 11:15PM

<< Some of the shirts need deflation in my so very humble opinion. >>

Ken, that might be true, but, it is INFLATION, not DEFLATION, that is good for the rare coin market, in general.

wondercoin · November 12, 2003 11:38PM

Actually, this thread is very much "registry" related and my next story proves it (well actually that isn't really true, but it is a funny story anyway)

Back when PCGS switched from Green boxes to Blue boxes, PCGS had a supply of fresh, unopened Green boxes still in the original packaging. PCGS was in their former building with a lot less room and (I assume) a much small warehouse (garage). I saw Rick M. around the warehouse one day and I asked him what PCGS intended to do with the excess Green boxes and he responded that they intended to toss them. I thought to myself, how could PCGS toss what would one day surely be "collectors items". So, I asked him if I could pick up all the "junk Green boxes" to which he happily replied "yes". The next day, I drove home a car full of PCGS Green boxes!! What a score. But, to make a long story short, I then ran out of room in my own garage to store the "junk" and gave in to my wife's "demands" to rent a storage unit to store "crap" like this. For something like 4 years now, I have been paying $1500/year to store "crap" including this hoard of fresh, original, unopened PCGS Green boxes! I now know what my New Years resolution is going to be

While this thread may be OT, it sure takes a little starch out of some otherwise stiff shirts. A little light heartedness keeps helps to keep us healthy.

If it weren't fot the high cost of the postage, I would have bought some.

Clankeye · November 13, 2003 12:22AM

Wondercoin-- you are without a doubt the Ted Binion of Boxes.

Come on use your marketing skills. Sell them as "Wonderboxes!"
Promote the idea that coins magically tone in them or something.

There's gold in that there storage unit!

Clankeye: Care to work on a large commission basis to "market" them?

Hey, I couldn't give 25 boxes away for a $10 lunch at Dennys! But, then again, maybe it was "the company" and not the boxes.

Clankeye · November 13, 2003 1:35AM

But now they're "Wonderboxes!" Mitch. And Registry quality to boot.

People are going to be knocking your door down. Wait and see.

cladking · November 13, 2003 2:38AM

Simple enough solution; Just "slab" them in baggies and sell the high grade
ones for big money on e-bay. Those modern collectors will buy anything you know.

Fairlaneman · November 13, 2003 2:53AM

Those Wonderboxes probably will not go over big here as anything can be Registry Quality. Marketing must be provided to prove these are PQ and of Registry Forum Quality. Of course a couple of testamonials from quality participants would not hurt either.

So far only Wondercoin has seen these and maybe through the years being stored within the slabbed confinement of a storage shed they have acquired haze, spots or heaven forbid ugly tone.

"So far only Wondercoin has seen these and maybe through the years being stored within the slabbed confinement of a storage shed they have acquired haze, spots or heaven forbid ugly tone."

Ken: If that becomes the case, do you think I might have recourse against Rick M. who encouraged me to take these boxes off his hands in the first place - now, at great expense on my part? Of course, there is always the issue of when the boxes "turned" in the shed.

Clankeye · November 13, 2003 3:23AM

I beg you DO NOT DOCTOR THE BOXES!!!!

Yes, you could send them to NCS, but the originality would be lost forever.

What good are a bunch of unnaturally bright, shiny boxes?

Clankeye

Fairlaneman · November 13, 2003 3:24AM

Recourse against Rick M or NGC. Hmmmm.....might be tough.

I think as long as these were not Raw Boxes some recourse should be attempted. Someone has to step up if these are not Market Acceptable.

If I were to mail you a $10 Denny's Gift Certificate will I be allowed to "cherry-pick" boxes of my choice next time I am in SoCal or would they just be random boxes? And how many bonus boxes can I expect for being kind enough not to subject you to the time constraints of dining with me?
