Sent in a full set, 2 Issue 22's hence the 23 magazines.. dimensions must have changed between Issue #1 and the rest, I didn't really look close enough to notice.

If you're looking to have a set graded don't go through the hassle and headache of packaging them and shipping them because they will not grade/encapsulate any of them besides Issue 1.

Well, you did better than me, you got 1 done!
I sent my set to them In early Agust and they didn't encapsulate anything:

They have not answered any questions about when they can handle this. I actually suspect that they may be uneasy getting into grading "bitcoins" since the parent company is NGC and they do not grade physical btc.

Ouch.. wish they understood the risks we are taking sending these.. only to have nothing done and sent right back. Can confirm my contact wasnt Maribel, but I think it's up to the graders that open them up.

I'm not much into collectibles, but I have a feeling that the bitcoin magazines--especially ones that are graded--are going to be an extremely desirable piece of bitcoin history, and I'd imagine they'd command a pretty hefty price.

I remember before I registered on bitcointalk, the magazines were being produced. I didn't think much of it at the time, as I was very skeptical as to whether bitcoin was actually going to be anything more than a scam. Boy was I wrong, and I wish now I'd acquired some of those magazines. Oh well.

I can't believe a magazine grading company can't accommodate slabbing of magazines of a variety of sizes. That seems strange to me, but at least you got one of them graded.

I replied to see if they'll eventually get larger slabs, told him these magazine would be coming in more frequently (maybe not due to paying an arm and a leg).. will have to see their reply. I'm down to be their guinea pig. 1 slab and 21 non slabbed magazines just dont look as nice as a stack of 22 slabbed mags. Sucks cause I more than likely damaged the original packaging with tape due to thinking theyd all be transferred into slabs. Now I'll have to mylar bag them for sure when they get back, hoping they actually transferred them into mylar when looking at them.
