    Is there anyone selling sample slabs at the show??? ANYONE??

    I'm willing to pay BIG BUX to get those uber rare sample slabs to fill the holes in my collection.

    Just you wait- in 2 years the sample slab market will be WHITE HOT


    WHITE HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What a great idea. Even HRH thinks its a joke, but people collect sample slabs. They can laugh in my face all they want while I cherrypick the dealers to death.image

    Did ANACS brings any?

    I was there, and there were no sample slabs from any of the grading servicesimage

    The day will come, when some grading service will be slabbing slabs.

    Many things to look for: scratches in the slab, chips around the rim, holder wear, rubs, label (frail, colored or stained) etc.

    but would you be able to tell if they had been "Curated" with something like Pushkin's secret scratch remover?

    I heard a rumor that the prices in the sample slab market are being kept artificially by one dealer who hoards them and cherrypicks little ten-year-olds' sample slab collections. Maybe he also intimidated the grading services into not making any sample slabs for this show. Or perhaps they each made just one...for that unethical Camer...oops, sorry. I meant that unethical nameless, shameless dealer.image

    Carefull, I'm sure that there are rabid pez dispenser collectors who might take offense to them being insulted

    Cameron - Julie brought her sample slab collection to LB for you but you didn't show up. It appears that you are now in very serious trouble...
