was there ever a pcgs yellow label?

mozeppa

i've got one bright yellow.

or is it /was it a green label that bleached out/faded out...(gotta be careful saying bleach around here!)

No PCGS never used a yellow label.

The green ones sometimes fade to yellow, especially when left in the sun. I've seen various shades of yellow, but not one that was very bright.

There was an error or quality shortcoming of some type in the green die used to create the labels making them extra susceptible to color shift when left in direct sunlight I believe.

I knew I remembered this discussion from somewhere...

I have some that are yellow, off yellow, and dingy yellow. My understanding is the die used was not UV protected, and would fade very quickly in the sunlight.

I have also heard jokes about these slabs. They are like green banannas and will ripe in the sun to a nice yellow.

You are probally talking about the doily slabs. Those tend to fade also. They did not make those for very long.

There was a yellowish green lable for a while right?

The S.S. Central America inserts...that's the closest thing I can think of.

No.

But they did issue a green label that faded to yellow. It was NOT the doiley label.

There were gold foil labels (dark spot is a shadow)
