I think your puppy wants to chew on one after you get one graded. I can almost bet on it!
Bailey is about 15 years old right now. That picture was taken many years ago. It won (or was a runner up) of a Petco photo contest in California back in the day.

Thank you I went back and looked at my box since I have 2 orders coming and this one is eligible so I am going to pack it up for grading!
jessewvu I just got my coins back from PCGS. Total damage $ 68.00 Grading costs Maybe the 2 I just sent off today will be 70's to offset these. I still like the baby blue label even though the First Strike is known world wide

NGC probably would grade them as PR70
Maybe even a PR71.
My Thots exactly. Hence, the often dismissed and dimished value in their high grade moderns.
And their labels are looking worse and worse, specially with the Palladium’s.

VERY NICE!!! You even have a couple blue ribbon labels!
Those blue ribbon were spendy the link is on this post but it was from MCM I think there down to about 8. I just got the graded ones back from PCGS they did a great job no complaints. It was my first submissions. The 2 FDOI are the Congradulation Series. The rest are the Limited Edition.
@Gluggo those look real nice. Great collection. I have about 5 of the FS love the blue too. @Mileswaits I am learning the grading for myself but no I am not a grader for NGC. I just like both companies is all.
Wow...that seems like a lot of returns. Those can't ALL be damaged lots can they? Must be a mix of unwanted sets, changed minds, and less than perfect coins.

Dropped another 150.....48938...over 1000 from the high 49978
They tend to do that after sell out. The number will continue to decrease by a few every week for a few weeks. (Returns after replacements? Sets that just took a long time to get to the recipient?) Once in a while, they'll even go up a couple.
But I'm not sure of what the exact return rules are. I know it's seven days, but does it need to be postmarked within seven days, or is it seven days to notify the mint you're requesting a return, and can actually mail it fourteen days later? You know, in case you can build full sets of non-70's...
You're probably within a hundred to the final mintage now, but it really won't be final until they take it off the books.

It's 7 days after receipt, so the shipping date won't help us here. And I"m not sure you couldn't return it later if there is damage or something. You can file a chargeback on your credit card for at least 120 days after purchase.

I agree I am guessing the coins are fine inside once I get them graded probably 69's which is better than 68's!
All my sets are FS eligible but I don’t plan on getting any graded.
As noted elsewhere, say "Bye-bye"!
Glad I was able to get 7 sets last few weeks
I am still waiting for my last 2 maybe it will come in today?

Don't quote me on that.
Lol. You pay me and I will grade it with PR80

Well, this is (or should be very close to) the final mintage for this set...
920 sets off?
When the net increase is negative, does that represent returns?
yes
