So They Are Cutting Up Mint Bags Now...

I saw this over on CU.

I think I will keep my Dollar bag intact, unless they want to slab full size bags too.




This one carried $1000 from New Orleans to Philadelphia, possibly due to the Pitman Act.

They'd slab your bottom (given half a chance) for a price,,,,,,,,(devil)

 

I think this is a fine example of to each their own. I don't think I will be into this, but for others it's great if that is what is desired to add to a collection. I can actually see an old mint bag turning into quite a conversation.

On the link you provided I read someone's response was about slabs being slabbed will be in the future. But, a way to grade the slabbed slab and mint bag will need to be developed.

 

As well you shouldn't.......

 

lol

 

I'm going to buy three pieces and send them to the top three TPG's. I want to see which one has the highest grade, duh. As they say, "From rags to riches."

 

Great decision, I wouldn't either.

 

Just plan crazy

 

This type of effort is quite common in Space Collecting. Miniscule pieces of flown items are chopped up into mm size pieces and packaged in slick presentations. Commonly done with Kapton foil from Apollo 11, webbing from Apollo 13, and 1" sections of rope from Apollo 15. In Heritage's Armstrong auction there were small pieces of wing fabric from the Wright flyer that were flown on Apollo 11 that sold for thousand of $.

 

Seems like I remember some company selling one square inch of land in each state as a package deal...

 

Well pcgs slabs crickets so this isn't a suprise.Actually a bug slabing corporation isn't a a bad ideaThat's a really nice old coin bag,now I want to get one.

 

Looking forward to slabbing my piece of president worn underware!

 

Reminds of chopped up splinters of a lounge chair recovered from the Titanic, similar to the splinter sales of Walt Disney’s barn.

 

I'm sure they'll at least slab toilet paper. Preferably uncirculated, of course, but I can't imagine them turning down the grading fee for even a heavily AT specimen.

 

Thad I do not want to know where you got it !!!!. Even Verde-Gone can't clean that.

 

Or pieces of the "true" cross...

 

In this case maybe more appropriate "from riches to rags"
