Do you own any signed slabs? Like Moy, Jones, Mercanti?

Personally I don't see the appeal, but they do sell for a premium.
Other than Mint leaders I'm not sure what other ones are available?
If you have them, do you collect them all?

only by coincidence
I know initially they go for a premium. are you seeing a premium 1 year or 2 years later?
I have one signed by Mark Salzberg and one signed by Rick Montgomery from the ANA show.
I don't own any. I'd pay for one signed by Reich, Gobrecht or Longacre (ahem, the REAL one).

I have had the American Heroes Lance Armstrong & Jessica Lynch and a Mercanti signed Silver Eagle.... In each case I won them within a few dollars of what regular MS69 eagles were going for (it might have been $5 more on the Mercanti).... I always got a kick out of the Lance Armstrong Hero thing after he was disgraced from his sport
I just went back through my records PCGS 2004 MS69 Lance Armstrong Silver Eagle I paid 24.77 including shipping..... so it seems as if he brings the value down $5 haha
Successful trades.... MichaelDixon,
Nope. Gimmicky and not worth a premium IMO.

2 state quarters signed by D. Carr.
own 2...Baseball Hall of Fame...(I'm a Baltimore Fan)..PCGS F/S PR70DCAM....Jim Palmer & Cal Ripken Jr
Find them to be a distraction. Elizabeth Jones was kind of cute though.

@messydesk....Those are cool, if authentic (no reason to doubt you)....However, I had not heard of these 'initialed' specimens before.... and the top one could be called a designer error due to the missing 'period' after the second initial.... Cheers, RickO
Don't own any. I think they're kind of cool but I'd only pay a very slight premium for them, if at all.

I had Glenna Goodacre sign them at the 2000 ANA show in Philadelphia when she was signing souvenir cards. I was thinking, "Why do I want a signed souvenir card? I want signed coins!" I wasn't thinking, "I should get these in TPG plastic as signed coins."

I have a David Hall signed slab. Only paid a slight premium.

I have a two coin NGC holder with a couple of Cook Island coins in it, signed by Jimmy Buffet. This goes back several years and involved the immortal Mad Marty.
Picked up one of a mint director several years ago when I purchased a small collection...it's around here somewhere

What drives me nuts is that they recognize the labels in the population reports.
I continually search eBay for a Rittenhouse. Few and far between.
They do, and there's a certain rarity to them, but the true numismatic gems are moderns in 65-67 holders. Far more rare than 69s and 70s.
