<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 2572666, member: 59677&quot;]Looks good to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Conder can&#039;t help <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> since he&#039;s color blind, it was years afterwards that he realized there were brown and green labels. So he isn&#039;t able to differentiate when green became brown...</p><p><br /></p><p>The chronology in the book is messed up with a couple typos (1987 s/b 1997, etc.), best reference is the 2008 post on the NGC board, <a href="http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=2248404" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=2248404" rel="nofollow">http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=2248404</a></p><p><br /></p><p>NGC 4 with no-line fatty (no key on the insert) slab and a full sized hologram</p><p>was used from August of 1989 when the counterfeit scare caused an increase in security measures for both NGC and PCGS (holograms and bar codes). When it ended isn&#039;t known. In Conder&#039;s post the color photo IS green.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC5 - this one - added the first bar code. Still the no-line fatty slab and full width hologram. Conder&#039;s guess for these is 1992 to 1995 and in the color photo he shows a brown label.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC6 - a transitional variety (and in the photo with a brown label) started in 1996. This is the first with the divided or keyed insert.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;d have to guess the beginning of NGC5 (still green label) or around 1992.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
