Hello
Back after a very long time away, use to go by acan451. Just wondering if people are still collecting sample slabs.
I use too write a blog/articles on the subject and I am hoping some old friends will recognize my name and say hello.

All the best

    I remember you and even though sample slabs are not a part of my collection I enjoy seeing them as a lesson in history of the grading companies. I remember reading your blogs and posts too, welcome back!

    I still like samples.

    Will likely have a full case of them at Long Beach later this week, table 448!

    Good to hear from you again Alan,
    I still dabble in samples, but mostly trying to sell the ones I have accumulated.

    While we're on the topic..... ;)

    Does ANYONE have interest in ICG and SEGS samples? I have a couple I wouldn't mind selling, but I haven't figured out the best way to move them. (GC doesn't officially carry those TPG's, and don't know if other venues would generate interest, or disgust). :blush:

    And....to get back on topic......Welcome Back!

    eBay is likely your best venue for those. Unless it’s a rarer example, those two TPG samples don’t tend to carry a large premium.

    Hi and thank you for the welcome.
    Selling samples is not that hard ebay is a good venue, if you want send me a message and I will try to help you with some values. on ebay watch the prices for the samples you have give it a little time to get a value on them. That is if they happen to be on ebay. I have David Schwager's book on sample slabs it has ton's of info on samples with app values if I can help let me know

    Maybe. More accurately I would call those promotional slabs. Then again, not sure there is a real difference. They were given out free at a show though, unlike some "samples."
