Soooo.....what is the "special" part? I'm lost and don;t know where I am --- and I ate all the bread and cookies before thinking about leaving a trail homeward...
I like the green, I think it's much more attractive than the blue. Not quarterly special worthy though considering they usually send a blue box anyway.
I get my coins back in a blue box each time, what's so special about a "green" box. Can we put garbage in it, no, too small. Does it come with extra coins? Not unless I pay. Anybody want to buy mine? Probably not. Blue will be ok with me.

How is the retro green box different from the original??

...something about the button box that says “GET DETAILS” about submitting coins for grading just doesn’t seem right???...maybe I am the only one; I usually am
I got green boxes back from pcgs when I put in for 30th anniversary green labels a few years ago on the coins I sent in for grading. I love the retro labels and the green boxes go for about 25 dollars each on e bay
When I saw this advertisement, my first thought was; "did they find an old warehoused stash" or "are these new retro style, like the labels". If they are the old originals, then yes, I would like one. If they are retro-new...no thanks.
I would not mind having one to put my "keeps, not to be sold" PCGS holders in.
Just read the announcement..."retro new". Boooo!

My first thought was that PCGS had ordered too many and the boxes were becoming a nuisance because of a lack of demand. What better way to get rid of material that you would take a loss on then by offering it for "free" as a promotion which can likely be deducted as business expenses at tax time?

Time for more colors. Red, black, silver, orange, yellow, purple. No pink. Clear would be nice too.
Or a rainbow one for all the toners......
Hoard the keys.
Tie dyed!
Got plenty of spare blue ones. Good enough.
Now a two day economy priced turn around would be nice. (And they can keep the box)
OK ...... why am I not excited.
I keep waiting for a good special. Sigh.
Really.....I already have about 10 of those.

I think you better buy a big strong safe for those !!!

This is the least imaginative and most worthless quarterly special yet.
I hope the green retro boxes are better than the actual labels.
I find this qs disappointing.
This is awful news for me
My extensive stash of green @PCGS boxes is being woefully devalued.

Do they have "eightherly" or "halferly" specials including straw hats, or clear boxes?
When is St. Patrick’s Day?
a box IS a box
the box fits tighter standards.
I didn't know the old green boxes sold for a premium.
Shame on me....
Paging Michael Scott....
Since PCGS is so nostalgic, does this mean that the order is also graded by OGH standards? That wouldn't be a special at all.

I wish they offer the cross or free shipping instep of free box. I guess I will submit after October.
Very underwhelmed by this....
Does anyone know how to tell the difference of the New vs Old Green boxes?
I got a lime green in my latest sub.
Will they CAC and who slabs them...
Seriously, I find myself looking for spare boxes while at shows. Have not seen retro green... lol

Wow.
I have about 8 or 10 of those green boxes... Maybe a couple more even. I like that green. Cheers, RickO
Pink is important to get more YNs in to the hobby.
They could go great with these
I still see the Mint box at the specials page through the end of June.
https://pcgs.com/ccspecial
If they are handing out the green box, does that mean the mint boxes are out of stock?
