    ...since you said not the label or hologram...I'm thinking the scratch resistant plastic was first used over at NGC image

    "The shell is now a one part slab with the stacking edge an integral part of the shell. This holder was used from Jan of 1990 through some time in 1995."
    The quote is taken from the Condor thread of slab generations, so my guess is the FUN show of that year?
  • PCGS handed out a sample slab with the new clear plastic holder at FUN in Jan 2014 with full production at Long Beach Jan/Feb 2014.

    keep in mind that this plastic is supposed to be clearer and more scratch resistant than its predecessors.

    So you're saying Hong Kong is not part of China?
