Do "Susan G. Komen" PCGS MS-67 Morgans bring a premium?

over a regular PCGS MS-67 Morgan, i.e. 1881-S?

<< <i>Nothing against the fight against breast cancer, but I would buy at a discount to make up for having to reholder it. >>
<< <i>Might be a great cause, but I would consider the slab a negative. As a collector, I'd rather have the coin in a normal slab.
Where is the grade, slab number, etc? On the back of the slab?

Time to re-slab is my first thought!
might know about them but then again I'm not suire about that either. Anyway. I have this one
pink ribbon slab and only because it has a 1879 S Morgan which is the only year and mint I
collect in the series. The auctions I have seen for these slabs seem to draw a premium
over what a price guide would suggest. I looked around and tried to see how much PCGS
donated but need to maybe ask them. Did find this article from 2010 with comments from PCGS.

<< <i>I would buy at a discount. I will give credit to the pr people, they got a ton of people to spend money to wear pink. The month of OCT the NFL was decked out in the latest fashions. >>
SGK pays for that. They don't get people to do it for free. Something like 70c of every dollar donated to SGK is spent on "awareness". Very little goes to research. SGK is the poster child for fat, over-administrated, wasteful charities.
My guess is that SGK paid PCGS for each slab rather than PCGS sending money to SGK.

I figured that was probably the case but since i did not know for sure i was being a little vague.
There are tons of worthy causes out there to support. Some spend more on the end product that others.

Susan Komen was born and is buried here in Peoria, but the organization was founded by her sister Nancy in Texas...it has morphed into a big corporate monster. They get hundreds of millions in income a year, and her sister the (now former) CEO was making half a mil a year herself.
According to a chart I found, their 2009-10 expenses broke down like this...
Research (20.9%)
Public health education (39.1%)
Health screening services (13.0%)
Treatment (5.6%)
Fund-raising costs (10.0%)
Administrative costs (11.3%)
Seems to me that research and treatment should be the top two expenditures for an organization that demands that no other organization use "for the cure" under threat of litigation; I was surprised that treatment was only 5% of the total. Education, though certainly important, imo should be #3 behind treatment and research, and not #1.
