  • Mine weren't! Seems pretty darn steep for plastic without coins!

    Only if you buy them on Ebay like that, with less-than-brilliant/knowledgeable bidders bidding against you! Check with NGC - I think they (really) cost about $3 each.

    I believe the current retail for them is either $7.95 or $8.95. Few dealers carry them so I'm not surprised that people bid so much. By the way, SEGS holders don't fit into them unless forced...a bad idea.
    All glory is fleeting.
  • About a year ago, I called NGC Customer Service and inquired about buying their boxes. They sent me three boxes, delivered, for $13.00. This is probably how the guy with the auction got his.image

  • Looks like there must be a real market for those NGC boxes I pay $6.00 ea from my dealer.

    You can get them directly from NGC for 3.50 each. I called them and ordered 5 a while back and paid I think 21.50 with shipping.

    Think I paid $6 bucks for mine.
  • A member sent me 3 for the price of $4 shipping. Maybe I should do a BIN for $15 each

    I can think of a dozen reasons not to have high capacity magazines, but it's the reasons I haven't thought about that I need them.
  • Pretty high price. I have been selling some nice used PCGS green boxes on ebay for $21.95 for 5 of them with $5.00 shipping. I sell them every time I put them up. I thought that was pretty cheap. $16.00 each. wow. Steve
  • Time to start selling some! I have a whole cupboard full.
    You can fool man but you can't fool God! He knows why you do what you do!
  • I already have that box, I need one of their older ones. Have they only had two varieties of box or are here others? I know that PCGS has had three, I still need examples of them. I really don't know about other services. I have seen a couple of boxes from other services but here are still a lot of unknowns.

    As far as I know they have had two. In the latest NumisQuest question on the NGC Board the winner will receive a new NGC Box that they just came out with, so now I guess they have had three different types.
    If It doesn't have great eye appeal, I don't want it.
