<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 26124244, member: 130786&quot;]-Too many IMO!</p><p><br /></p><p>First off, lovely $5.00 MPC but shame about the old PCGS holder. I don&#039;t think it imploded from conflicting leadership: look at the quality of the PCGS holder. I have a few &amp; I regret winning them. They&#039;re open ended (allowing exposure to moisture) &amp; very flimsy but worst of all: they&#039;re huge- where can one store their massive flimsy holders?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s one of the first I won. It&#039;s a tougher issue (P-18c from 1975) but once it arrived I was dismayed to see how big the holder was:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1666709[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I have actually cropped off the edges of the holder which extend far beyond the label. I have to place it separately from my other notes or re-submit it to PMG so it will be vacuum sealed (&amp; properly preserved). PMG would insert it in a smaller, more appropriate holder.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If I were to incur the expense of a re-submission, I would be able to keep this note with the rest of the set. This is one of my first TPG note wins &amp; it was a lesson learned, but unfortunately, I&#039;m cheap too!&nbsp; I soon noticed whenever a tough PCGS labelled World note was up for auction, I could often get a bargain (since bidding was soft). So I won a few more but I&#039;m not happy with them &amp; would prefer another TPG certification to properly seal/preserve &amp; then allow me to keep the note with whatever set it belongs. The &quot;Gold Seal&quot; holders are much better (IMO) but they really haven&#039;t been embraced by the collecting community (like PMG).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
