So I was in a local shop and I seen a walker that was in a slab with a white cardboard label. I've seen the white labels but haven't seen a white one like that before. I came home and checked PCGS's website for their slabs and didn't see the same one. I sent the dealer a message and told him I wanted to buy it. The next day I went and picked it up and removed the price sticker when I got home and bam... Looks like a sun faded label that had that sticker there for some time... Live and Learn Almost had it!
I bought 2 gen. 2's on ebay but couldn't see the labels. I know one is perforated, you could just barely see the bumps. I couldn't see what color though. They both have the outer rings though. They are just common Morgans in 63, I paid about 10$ extra each BIN just for the gamble they are 2.0's. They should be here in a day or two. Do you know if the 2.1 and 2.2 carry any premium? PCGS says they are scarce. I bet the rings are worth 10$ alone.
There's some premium with them to the right buyers. They haven't caught on premium wise like some of the others, but they were used for a short period of time and I wouldn't be surprised to see their premium increase in the future.
Hi LaLa , they're talking about Slab Collecting. I just got started in it myself so I'm not really up on it. I just got my first one about a week ago, which is actually a Sample Slab, which is a sort of sub-set of slab collecting. Here's a recent thread on sample slabs. I have the same one as Pickin' and Grinnin's green PCGS one with a Dime in it. show-a-rare-sample-slab.332353 EDIT : A BIN is a Buy It Now on eBay.
Sun light but more so florescent light do burn and fade quite a few things such as paper and plastic. The lights in a meat case should have covers to stop this from happening to the meats. I can recall some lettering from a casing on bologna being transferred to the meats outer skin. All due to the florescent light tubes.
I thought that was the ink from the stamping. Don't some large pieces of meat such as hams get a stamp from a/the inspector? Oh well, couldn't taste it and I'm still here.
That is from the USDA a food safe ink on the fat not the meat. What I was saying is that the light causes a photo like process transferring the lettering and package content to the meat. Which isn't ink or chemical, it is the same as cutting out a design taping it to your skin and getting a sun burn. So it's more so a burn that causes the discoloration
