Funny I was just about to post that. Very disappointed and PCGS will likely get even more of our business now. PMG's $14 per note small size bulk rate was a good value and made sense for me for notes that I needed to get slabbed as cheap as possible to avoid losing money on those notes after grading fees. But there's really no more benefit for that since PCGS has the same prices now (assuming they are not raising their rates too) and I prefer the PCGS holders over the PMG ones. Also PCGS has greatly improved their turn around times and are now even faster than PMG based on my recent experiences.

$8 "handling" now, wow

15$ for oversize holder? Really? What would justify this price for a piece of plastic that costs 10 cents?

I agree $15 is a bit much for an oversize note. But 10 cents of plastic isn't it either. That's thick mylar and it's not exactly cheap. I would agree to the $15 if it was for a 4 subject holder or something larger along those lines, but that falls in to the "custom holder" category which is an extra $25 or $50.

larry510 , You are lucky. Mine are already 80 days and counting. 40 world notes, some of them are rare, the others are non common. But you could not beat the 10$ "monthly special" price per piece.

I actually laughed out loud on this one...



These are more than likely the September monthly specials, all of which will ship by the end of this month as we are actually finishing up the grading on these today.



Three months on $10 monthly specials...what more do you guys expect?

Wow three months for the monthly specials now? That's great to hear.

I am sure the September special was a popular one. I sent in 50 notes myself and they probably brought a lot of work back with them from the Maastricht show that was at the same time.



Glad to hear they are about to return home! Regardless, the $10 price point is worth the wait as I would not have graded many of these otherwise...

Happy to hear that my notes are soon on the way home... Thank you. And I'm not complaining, for ten bucks it's a great deal.
I have another batch of some interesting notes for grading, I wish you will have this kind of deal again soon...

Don't feel too bad, mine are at calendar day 78; but my last monthly special was about the same so I'm not too upset. Anxious, yes, upset nah not yet. Besides it's Christmas and absolutely nothing is allowed to upset me at Christmas.
