NGC is better than PCGS

.... as far as the slab storage boxes go!

PCGS is certainly the better TGP, but why don't they make better slab storage boxes? The NGC boxes are better since you can store any kind of slab in them. I sure with PCGS would make the same kind.

Oh well, I guess we can't have everything huh? Haha.

Why would PCGS want to make a box that holds their competitors' product?

Easier to carry to the show?

BINGO!!

Whitman makes a slab box that fits both PCGS and NGC nicely.

So sell more boxes and be competitive with NGC? To have a diverse holder like the competition? The NGC boxes are also more aestheticly pleasing than PCGS, IMO. Eh, I just wanted to rant about the PCGS boxes. I hope they improve them soon.

PCGS slabs don't like being stored next to other slabs.

Yeah, they are kinda snooty, huh? LMAO. That's funny.

Contrary! I have a NGC box where the cover does not snap in place with their own NGC slabs in the box. Try figuring out that one out.

They sell these?

I always find them on the floor after a show, or get them for free with my submission returns. And if they give 'em away for free, there isn't a great deal of incentive for them to improve or retool them. Know what I mean?

You are probably referring to the black boxes... they now have the grey ones that fit the newer and slightly larger slabs... those are the best and usually sell for a few extra dollars...

I use the PCGS boxes to store my silver bullion...

I see no reason for PCGS to change their slab boxes... they are given out for free and are quite like tribbles... they always seem to multiply...

Since I have already made a huge investment in the boxes that I have, and in order to make sure that they close properly, I should only buy PCGS slabs... There's marketing for you.

Another marketing thought for PCGS - mudflaps for trucks......

Never paid for a PCGS box in my life. Didn't think anyone did.

I guess we now know what PCGS boxes are worth.

dsessom · January 30, 2009 2:36AM

Are there any out there that are better quality than PCGS or NGC? Even the NGC boxes seem a bit flimsey..

No one does...they're everywhere. Never store two PCGS boxes together...they seem to multiply

Now what...."Buy the coin, not the box?"

The Eagle boxes for the old ANACS slabs (the small ones) were cooler than anything. Too bad they're obsolete for new slabs now.

I liked the old small slabs. I wish ANACS hadn't changed everything.

I would like little individual fabric bags with the PCGS logo on them for my slabs. It would be nice if the bag had a place to insert a little 2x2 label that would indicate the contents of the bag (viewable through a mylar window).

Store them in your wifes or girlfriends pockee books and then you won't have a problem. Hell you can carry them around all day long on your shoulder.

For the same reason they'd allow their competitors slabs on their registry.... ohhh wait

I hear the Chinese are making "fake" PCGS box's........... flooding the market with them and destroying the marketplace !

NGC fatties have to be jammed in the grey NGC box.
The old brownish NGC boxes are the best.

NGC is better than PCGS
