    It’s always about the dollars collectors universe is a publicly traded company. I think they gotta make shareholders happy by showing profit so they’ll slab almost anything I would bet and that’s just the way it is. I wish they would do old photographs.

    You're not wrong about the profit motive but CU hasn't been publicly traded in years.

    Apparently they are collectable.

    For many years I have admired various fireworks packaging. There is a lot of great artwork on fireworks packaging.

    FWIW, it appears that "PCGS Currency" was not under direct PCGS control for a period of 10 years due to a licensing agreement with K3B.

    Ton of firecracker labels listed on eBay, but only a few slabbed, so there is hope.
