PCGS Collectors Club Quarterly Special

Retro Labels at Retro Prices

30 years ago, PCGS introduced the concept of third party grading to the rare coin market. PCGS launched its authentication and grading service with what is now referred to as the "Old Green Holder" or simply, "OGH".

To celebrate our 30th anniversary, PCGS is now offering Collectors Club members the chance to relive the fabled look of the retro "OGH" label, but with all the added security and clarity of the modern PCGS holder.

As an added bonus, exclusively from April 1st to June 30th, 2016, Collectors Club members can receive these retro labels at retro prices:

Only $4 for the PCGS Retro OGH Label
Only $9 for Secure PCGS Retro OGH Label

Secure includes professional TrueView Photography for each coin submitted.

These special rates apply to any coin, in any quantity, on unlimited submissions.

Rules and restrictions apply. To assist with the submission process, follow the PCGS Guidelines.

Not that great of a special

I like the ones where you actually get something free instead of a discount on buying something extra.

So maybe I missed it but the retro label actually costs more to start with?

I seem to remember paying $7 extra for mine.

Green paper is much more expensive than blue paper

Killing the golden goose. They never learn.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of PCGS, our hosts introduced a year long quarterly special of offering a retro label. The cost to obtain the retro label was reduced for this quarter. This action gives me optimism for additional quarterly specials for the last two quarters of this year. My preference would be for free grading, reduced cost for crossover, Tru-View, or reholdering.

I plan on using this quarterly special so reducing the cost is good news.

Yep, its a pure gimmick and the "Quarterly Special" (AKA price drop) is probably due to people not caring about a label...

Like DollarAfterDollar noted, these labels are taking the place of real Quarterly Specials and "killing the golden goose".

Yep. They're not even using the correct font. It's like bringing back Jarts, but with foam tips.

I thought people cared PLENTY about labels.....First Strike/Early Strike, etc, those labels sure seem to be appealing, especially the premiums being paid for THOSE labels.

I guess for those who were on the fence about getting the new green labels, the discount of the price from $7 to $4 per coin is nice... but for those collectors who really wanted these and already spent $7/coin on them, not sure they'll be too happy with this "special!"
