A Little Morning Irony For You

PCGS slab boxes will only hold PCGS slabs. NGC slab boxes, can hold both NGC and PCGS slabs.

The PCGS Registry only allows PCGS slabs. The NGC Registry allows both NGC and PCGS slabs.

Interesting eh?

(And I specifically left out other slabs, because I know you can fit other slabs into the boxes, but it ruins the irony, ya know?

)

That's too much thinking for Monday morning.

Excellent observation. Too bad all the TPG companies don't have a consistant universal size holder.

Do you think it is just coincidence?

Pcgs or ngc slabs don't fit in a anacs storage box

What does it mean?

My NGC slabs fit in a PCGS box with a little "convincing."

For the education of all.

Irony: Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs. Or, an occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity.

Usage Note: The words ironic, irony, and ironically are sometimes (incorrectly) used of events and circumstances that might better be described as simply “coincidental” or “improbable,” in that they suggest no particular lessons about human vanity or folly.

I think your example is coincidental.

Ok, one could expect NGC to only accept NGC coins, because PCGS only accepts PCGS coins. But on the flip-side... one could expect PCGS to accept NGC coins too, because NGC accepts PCGS coins, too. Now is it an Official Irony?

I think it is ironic that someone can look at these facts and think it is coincidental.

And what I see is a post with WAY too much thought

ADDING: NGC boxes will not hold SEGS slabs (too big) and ANACS slabs don't fit right becuase of their size (too small, they bounce around)..

Ironically...I was going to say the same thing!
