ICG certification - any way to find approximate encapsulation date?

PreTurb

Does anyone know of any way to determine the approximate time period of when a specific ICG slab was released? I didn't find any cert # lookup on their website...

Just like NGC and PCGS the only way to get an approximate date of slabbing is by Conder's slab book which gives you an idea based on label fonts, insert colors, holograms etc.

The problem is that unlike many of the other companies, ICG has not used very many different varieties on their production holders. I have only listed 4 different varieties of ICG slabs and they have not used a new one since Jan 2000. So for all practical purposes you can only say if they were slabbed in 1998-9, or after Jan 2000. A further narrowing is only possible if it is a modern piece that was struck after 2000.
