SLABBED STACK'S CATALOG LOCATED

Dan Hamelberg writes: "In response to Michael Schmidt's
question on the John Ford slabbed Stack's catalog, I have it
in my library. I purchased it years ago ( I don't remember the
exact year) at an NBS meeting. John Ford donated it for an
NBS auction, and I was the lucky buyer. It measures 10 inches
tall by 8 inches wide in the "holder". The slab insert reads:

Bibliographic Universal Grading Service (BUGS)
Item: Stacks 3/17/93 Halperin Catalogue; 2nd Printing,
unlaminated cover
Registered To: John J. Ford, Jr.
Grade: MS-70 Centering: Perfect Aging: None

There is a 3/4 inch margin of duct tape around the perimeter
which seals the catalogue inside the plastic slabs. I do not
recommend this method of storage for numismatic literature -
it makes it difficult to read."
