PCGS Holder With Cricket Remains - how high will it go (already over $1k)?

The catalyst for the business model, in order to preserve such a new venture, is that only one of each type of Arthropod be encapsulated. Of course different types exist, by color, size, geographical location, larvae, age, brood, Kingdom, Subkingdom, Clade, etc.

I can see this catching on. The old jar and formaldehyde and pin sticking is no fun, and trading/selling/displaying for competition/investment/collecting would all be enhanced by producing such a collecting category.

I am thinking.....I mean it.

It could be a Venture Capitalist play. Tie it into a Bitcoin type world model, and an education contract or 2, and the laugh factor reduces. It always does when money is the result.

Why stop there? Why sell the slab when you could sell an NFT of the slab for many times more?

OMG STRUCK THROUGH ERROR! Hello, PCGS?

 

That is a good point. There are Arthropod genetic errors. That can be another category.

I was definitely thinking about NFT plays. The Hodlers need a new schtick. Really.

 

Hi Mountain Man,
Would you consider a NGC Proof-63 Humbug?
J.T.

 

Humbug Marsh is a favorite location of dragonflies, and would fit under the geographic location category.

 

It's clearly a Details because of the damage, but some folks will really appreciate the die breaks.

 

This post deserves a best answer.

 

I hear they're good eating.

 

They’ll slab anything and someone will buy it.

 

If you ask me, I say the AT is a turn off. It's much lighter than it should be naturally. Looks like it was baked in an oven, then spent some time on a sunny windowsill. I don't like toning! (I case you don't know, when roasted, they are tasty, with a "nutty" flavor. And don't tell me you've never eaten one...you're sayin' you never ate a hot dog???...)

 

I agree; there is nothing wrong with GC selling it. I'm guessing they will get some added attention from it and that could lead to more people exploring the website and bidding on coins.

 

Buy the slab, not the bug!

 

I'm still waiting for a coin struck on a railroad spike graded by PCGS.

 

@lordmarcovan
Other than that a nice rare wholesome original skin coin

 

They ran out of room to print "ITS MOTHER WAS A HAMSTER AND ITS FATHER SMELLED OF ELDERBERRIES"?
