PCGS is paying for Inserts again!

dpoole

Maybe this is old news, but I got a check in the mail for $2.00 from PCGS, plus a letter of thanks for turning in some inserts. I know they used to pay $.50 bounty for inserts, but I'd thought they'd long discontinued the practice.

This is good news, if they're back in the business. They really need to work on getting their population figures back to something close to accurate.

People like Russ can probably retire, if they'll turn in all of theirs!

Funny you should mention that. I decided to do the right thing and went through my big box of busted slabs and pulled out all the PCGS labels. Then I even inventoried the labels, and they're sitting here in an envelope. I was unsure of the procedure for returning them, so I posted a question in Q&A. Didn't get an answer, so the envelope is still sitting here.

Good, I sent two in with my submissions Saturday.

That's probably because they don't have enough cash to pay for all the inserts you have.

I had no idea that they were doing that. I have been looking for a few coins for a collection in the raw.

I will save the inserts if it is PCGS that I end up buy to fill those holes

Thanks for the information Dpoole

Fifty cents American for all inserts along with our sincere appreciation. Send 'em in please! Checks mailed out once a month.

Thanks,

To whose attention? Or, does that matter? Anything need to be noted on the envelope to make sure they get routed correctly?

Now I wish I had waited to turn mine in, not that I had very many. I've never gotten anything for them

edited to say: I just received a check for the inserts I submitted previuosly, so now i'll post the smiley face and

Are green label inserts bringing a premium? -------------BigE

Not that it would even cover the cost of a slabbing, but I have sent in cracked-out inserts with submissions and never been credited with a cent... but then, I did it largely out of hope of keeping the pop numbers more accurate, not for the bounty.

How can the numbers get anywhere near accurate with all the crackouts and resubmits done over the years? The error is cumulative.

MrEureka

The error is cumulative.

So are the pop reductions due to returned inserts.

BNE

Turn 'em in please. It would be so refreshing to see those pop numbers go DOWN for a change!

Does NGC pay for its inserts?

Russ -- I just put 'em in an envelope to PCGS, and include a brief hand-written note. Seems to take care of it.

Barry -- You're right, of course. But it helps keep the problem from getting worse.

MacCoin

how about these dumb sticker they put on the return flip you know the ones that say cleaned.

Okay. But, were the pop numbers actually adjusted? I really don't give a rip about the bounty, I just need to get rid of the guilt.

I DK, Russ. I'm not anal enough to keep track. I just always sent 'em in.

I guess if they're paying for them again, they intend to do SOMETHING with them.

Russ

I think I'll send a few in at a time and verify they're adjusting the pops. If they do, I'll reward them with another batch.

PS: I AM anal.

How much for the sample slab inserts??? I spent the pocket change that was in them!!

foodude

I just received a check for the inserts I submitted :ThumbsUp

jeffnpcb

I believe the true value is worth more than 50 cents! Crap, I threw them away when I cracked them out. Not worth my time and effort to make PCGS pop reports look real for 50 cents per!

The way I understand it, you don't get paid until the cert. number has actually been deleted.

I just received my check for the inserts I returned.

Took a couple of months but am accustomed to waiting!

Also received a nice thank you note from Mr. Hall.
