ASE with World Series Labels

I just can't believe what they'll do to sell ASE's

I wonder if they would a special label for the last place Phillies
Can't wait to see the label for the winner LOL

Sad, but they will sell!

 

If it brings more people into the hobby why is it a bad thing? All leagues should consider something like this. In the end at least it is worth the silver (unlike a baseball card).

 

Or it could make the hobby look like a bunch of sleazy car salesmen...

 

After the way they handled the gold Kennedy half this summer that may have already happened.

 

Precisely my point.

 

Well, as long as folks are purchasing WS Memorabilita, I don't really have a problem with whats being sold.

Who knows, maybe these will catch on and be quite popular for future WS Events?

 

"They?" Who is the "they" that you're referring to?

 

Are the tpg's willing to put any label you want on their coins? I've seen first strike, the hof signatures and even the wtc recovered silver. But I just can't understand or see any possible link here. Am I missing something other then the fact that the tpg's will put any label you want on a coin if you pay them enough?

 

I received an email from NGC today and NGC has apparently inked an exclusive agreement with Major League Baseball so this really has nothing to do with individual high volume coin dealers as much as it has to do with NGC providing an opportunity for some slab diversification.

If the Giants win the Series, I'll pick up some Eagles for my wife.

As a side note, I expect that this is a tie in with the popularity of the HOF Coins but that's just me.

 

Yes kinda. You see, the Major League Baseball organization is very protective of their logo and as such, not just anybody can use it.

That puts a bit of collectability on the slabs themselves which just happen to be another way to collect Silver Eagles.

No biggie. If it catches on, next years World Series will show some heavy interest. On the slab collector side.

But then, we all know that they're just Silver Eagles, produced by the millions and all in extremely high grade. There has to be a way to create a market for them.

 

I think I'll wait for the PGA labeled coins, the ones with the HOLE IN ONE labels.

 

Maybe soon they (TPG) will feature your favorite donuts lable

 

Mcdonalds and m&m are protective of their logo as well. My question was is there even a small credible link between the coins and the World Series?

I can't wait to buy a hamburgler ase. I will even go so far out of my way to make sure it is a first strike, Chicago ana , early release, licked by Ronald himself label. And it will have to be a 70 of course to round it out.

 

I definitely support the WTC recovery slabs as I am also in support of the labels for specific shipwreck recoveries. I think the provenance there sets that coin apart from all the other silver eagles or 8 reales or whatever the denomination is.

I agree, there is no link between that silver eagle and the world series, so why put the world series on the label? That just screams junk to sell on TV that later will be brought to a LCS some decade later only to be thoroughly disappointed and leave angry with.

 

I'd pay a little extra for a label sporting the logo of my favorite sports teams. When my favorite teams have won a championship, I've bought collectibles commemorating the achievement that have far less value than an ASE.

 

Have the other items you purchased related to the event, though? For example, did you buy a baseball cap with the logo after the championship? I have no issue buying items with the logos - I have shirts, etc. I guess I just did not like that the ASE has nothing to do with baseball, so combining the two did not make sense to me.

 

I agree - I don't see the connection between coins and MLB Baseball, besides perhaps the HOF coins themselves... Pretty soon we'll be seeing coins in Starbucks slabs....

 

I don't see why there would have to be a connection between coins and what's on the label. It's like buying a pen or a belt buckle with a team logo on it.

If hope they make a Waffle House label some day.

 

Yes.

The HOF coins brought baseball and coins together on the same playing field.

Bottom line, if you don't like them, then don't buy them but try to hold the criticism until it's determined how many folks actually want them that don't happen to be coin collectors as much as World Series aficionados.

My wife is "definitely" interested and she hates my coin collecting.
