I stumbled on an alternate image from PCGS that was in addition to their posted TrueView Image. I had clicked on "show all images" on the Cert verification page for this piece and presto - another different image emerge showing the full slabs.
I wonder if this is common now or was this a one off?
This is the "Trueview" I was use to having shown.
This is an alternate image that was grouped with the TV's.
While I do not like the upside down reverse image ...the fact is this photo is more like the coin in hand look than the "Trueview"
I had gone back and check on a couple of other "BASS" piece from the same Heritage auction and it appeared PCGS offered the same slab photos for those pieces as well.
Is this becoming a standard practice or just a unique circumstance for special collections? The only other similar slab image I had prior from PCGS was a piece that was photograph ( as I understood it) outside of the US at one of their other facilities.

I would guess this is a special case for this particular collection and that it is not the new standard.
PCGS did this randomly on one of my submissions.
I thought the TV with slab shot were from an overseas PCGS office.
Not in all cases.
How long ago was this TV done?
The Bass sale were auctions conducted by Heritage Jan 2023. These pieces were all slab for that sale/auction.

Ok. I think Phil was still doing them at that time? If so, I do remember he would take many shots and "you" could get them. I don't know if the current batch of photogs there still do that.
Phil was always above and beyond in everything he did there.
