    What would someone pay if one of these first gen holders showed up and the coin was dripping with PVC or corroded from improper storage?

    The gold sticker is definitely a wow factor, but it's all about the holder here, obviously. Will def be following along with other interested parties to see how high it will potentially go!

    In my world it makes no sense, why pay over 75X guide for just the "packaging"?
    There will be two winners in this auction, the seller and the auction house, the buyer will end up losing in the end.
    Why is it not ridiculous in your opinion?

    I disagree. First off, it isn't 75X's the price guide. Your math is incorrect.
    Second, the "packaging" is as collectible among enthusiasts as the coin it contains. Calling it simply, "packaging" is the same as simply calling the coin a "dime".
    Third, there will be three winners, not just two. You forgot the buyer. The joy this coin will bring to him or her and the potential for profit down the line is high.
    Lastly, for many reasons, not just the ones I suggest, it isn't 'ridiculous' unless you consider all of coin collecting ridiculous.

    This is not coin collecting. There should be a separate forum that covers the different types of slabs.

    In the Stack's Rarities Night thread, there aren't any coins pictured which don't include the associated slabs/stickers. Is that really any different than this?

    Personally, I can’t justify it, but I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad investment, either.

    Whatever floats your boat.

    Good luck to all participants!

    It will be fun to watch it go off tonight!! 🍾🥂

    Yes, should’ve bought more of them, back in the day, but that can be said about a lot of things. Gotta be grateful for the things that you DID pull the trigger on. I know I am.

    Didn’t there used to be a saying? Something of a “mantra” that those in the biz, or longtime collectors told to the newbies? It’s been a long time since I’ve heard it, and lotsa cobwebs in there.

    🤔

    Oh yeah, now I remember:

    “Buy the rumor, sell the news”

    No wait, it’s:

    “Buy the dip, sell the flip”

    No, that’s not it. Dang. Somebody help me here.

    BTW what are price guides? They are just that, guides. How many times do we see coins sell at a large variance to the price guides. How often do we hear about 2 bidders going after something at a price way above a price guide or when there isn't 2 bidders bidding and the bottom drops next time that coin comes to auction.

    I for one couldn't give a hoot about price guides, if I want something bad enough I go for it no matter what the price guides say/dictate. And with that intention I also know I will take full responsibility for any losses incurred when it comes time to selling it later assuming that I do. A guide is a guide, to me it should be used for only generic material, but typically I don't buy generic material , I buy those items that move me.

    Most have heard the adage that coin collecting should not be related to investing but it seems that price guides are designed for investing, contradicting the adage.

    And how many times do I read that price guide prices need to be updated for a certain series or year or grade etc. In other words how does one depend on the obviously inaccurate pricing since the guides don't get upgraded often or kept current.

    For those who missed out, this PCGS White Label will close at next Sunday's GC auction.
    Yes, it's not a Gen 1.0, but just a Gen 1.1, but still a White Label.
    And its current bid is at only $5,600.
