    Promotion thru PCGS for submitting any basketball coin for a limited time while supplies last. If you were quick enough, you coulda got one. Maybe you'll get lucky and find someone wanting to sell one to you.

    There were some on eBay last year but they have dried up.

    I've been looking as well, but no so far no dice.

    I was fortunate enough to get a black box with blue lid. No orange ones though.

    Per box? I offered a BST seller an ounce of silver for one and was turned down.

    The few I saw were $40-$70 each. There must have been some strong demand for these. One person I know sold two at $70 each on eBay.

    I had no idea they were going for that much. I’ll do without.

    We collectors are a strange group. Who would think people would pay $60-70 for a slab holder in Orange? If PCGS was smart they would continue this move and make other ones. Maybe a white version for Baseball and a brown one for football. If they ever do bowling coins it could get really cool with colors matching the bowling balls. A whole new branch of collecting.

    Actually, I checked my record. I believe I bought over 50 those orange boxes for $40 - $70 per box. I sold about 20 boxes for $100 per box. Now the buyer stop buying from other part of the world so I ended up holding about 30 boxes. Well, when the buyer resume buying in the future I will get rid of them all. Otherwise I will hold them for 20 years in my garage, not a big deal.

    I would figure that there is some remaining of them at PCGS for all of the orders that were not filled on the Basketball HOF coin submissions.

    I would not mind having one one myself, but not at those crazy asking prices.

    Many thanks go out to the sender for goodwill.

    Does anyone by any chance have some of the pcgs orange or mint slab boxes they could sell me? I could use 2-4 of each depending on price.

    The last orange boxes I saw were selling for $70-80 each.

    There are a few mint boxes on the bay now selling for between $30 and $50 now.

    They were only for the basketball coins which makes the more rare.

    That looks pretty cool. However I think that was the first time I have ever clicked on instagram, it's not a place I play. Someone will be happy though.

    Sounds like a great auction!

    For the coin crowd, it might be cool to have a Kobe signed basketball dollar. Not sure if one exists, but imagine the following?
