<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 2174410, member: 59677&quot;]If you really want to go nutso you can collect the varieties of the labels within the shells. For example, Conder101 lists a specific shell with &quot;ACCUGRADE/Connecticut&quot; label. I have that and the rarer &quot;ACCURADE/Connecticut&quot; version... violation of rule #1: spell the name of the company right!</p><p><br /></p><p>Or Sample slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC used the same shell for many years. During that time they changed the hologram and/or the preprinted label (changing the name to abbreviations and back; different styles of the border and of the scales) - that gives Conder101 many of the variations in his book.</p><p><br /></p><p>But samples for shows? Those can be runs of 200 or just 20, with different wording for the show the following week...</p><p><br /></p><p>ANACS may be the most prolific - they attend a lot of shows. And will do special sample labels for their best customers (e.g. the baseball HOF samples or the 5 oz silver pucks)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
