<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1370577, member: 31533"]Yeah, it's somewhat of a gimmick for most of the newer releases, to get people excited about sending their coins in for that to be on the label. Just think of the way the tpgs handled the 25th anniversary coins. You evidently had to send in the box you received unopened, and within a certain period of time just to get that nice label. And the labels with first strike imply that you are getting some sort of superior coin, which may or may not be true, but is based on the coin itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, on the plus side, if someone wants to collect coins based on the labels, well, that's just another set of criteria that person has put on their collection. And if they pay or will be able to resell for more money based on that label, then fine for them. I think it's good for some people who put a premium on having a select type (or limited edition, if you will) of collectible because they feel they are superior at having a good collection that others can't afford or who don't have the ability to 'discern' what the best implies. Bully for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
