No, every coin show or function there is that the TPGs attend they give them away as advertising.
As said already, sample slabs were and are, (they still give them out), nothing but advertising gimmicks by the TPG's. The TPG would pick some...
We send most of the guys like you straight on down to Miami green :D But I do admit, I look forward to finally meeting you ;)
