Your name in the holder?

I've been browsing the registry for about 20 minutes now admiring all the great collections and couldn't help but notice that several people have their name listed on the tag inside the holder. Is this something that is done by simply requesting PCGS to do so on a submission form?
I wouldn't be interested in doing it for my coins, just curious how you get your name in there.

Like maybe "Friggin PCGS took forfrigginever to undergrade my friggin coin"?

I'm not sure if a set that small qualifies. It might, though, so you should pose the question for BJ over in the registry forum. Some sets I know don't qualify are modern sets (ones that are ongoing) and proof sets.

To confirm that your set qualifies for the free Pedigree Service, contact customer service at setregistry@collectors.com. Then mail with your coins a PCGS submission form and a printed page from the set registry that lists your set in the top five.
Please note: Pedigrees can be up to 22 characters in length. If the coin has a variety designation (i.e. Type 1, Type 2, etc.), this is included as part of the total character count. Please note on your submission form if you would like your coins sequentially numbered. PCGS no longer certifies coins with green inserts.

WHOA!!!! Is PCGS admitting (semi)publicly that their standards have changed and that not all PCGS slabs are created equal??? They have always maintained that you could trust the grade on any PCGS holder but they won't accept aand certify their own grading themselves? I love it!!

is where that is.
No idea myself about the green insterts. I have a few coins in green label pcgs holders
Many people like the older holders. I'm sure the intent of the sentence is that if you want to add your name and STILL have a green label, it's not possible to do so. If you send in 50 old green holders, they will come back with your name on the holder on a blue label at the same grade.
I don't think the modern pedigree's are worth anything. Someone putting together a set every 3 years and selling it just doesn't have the same cache as a Eliasberg pedigree, for instance, imho.
