    what kind of sucks is that I have a medal at PCGS right now for grading but it'll never come back in one of the orange boxes, it's just too big. that means I might have to beg. :p

    Then the boxes will have to be graded, which will give rise to box doctors carefully buffing out scuffs and scratches and retouching paint so as not to be detected by the box graders, who will then have to pay closer attention to plastic flow lines and paint chemistry, and then..., and then..., and then...

    Will the first orange boxes shipped have "First Strike™" stickers on them?

    I still think they should use these for coins graded on Halloween.

    I still need a black box, and I want an orange one too. They’ll be on eBay at some point. For PCGS, I think black looks the best. For NGC, that silver one is best, although their red box looks pretty cool too.
