Thank you NGC 0

[Zebo]

Thank you NGC for the surprise I received along with the nice award plaque. I was not expecting the award holder (Morgan) and appreciate it very much. Sorry for the bad photo, I should have wiped the dust of the holder before snapping the photo.

Way to go.

🐓  :  if you don't mind me asking, what did you get for your #1 set on the West coast?

H.C.:  Funny you should ask.  No plaque (you have to pay now for the privilege of owning one if you want it).  No pin (like last time). Basically bupkis. Oh, and a nice yellow ikon, I think they call it, next to the Set's name on the Registry.  [In another year, God willing, I will give the No. 2 guy back his Top Spot which was taken away from him twice, once by me at the culmination of his efforts.  He spent a great deal of time and money putting his set together. He deserves it.]  Besides, NGC seems to be the place to be.

We all know that the west coast is bereft of all redeeming value. Thanks for the additional confirmation.

Congrats Z.. that is a nice Top Pop. Now think about this one. In the future someone who does not know about the contest will look at this coin and think that it was the registry award winner. When it was you that won not the coin.

It is a nice touch by NGC either way.

The pin is probably on its way. I got two pins (Gold and Best of Registry) in the mail on Saturday.
