Curiouser And Curiouser: 2026 Congrats Set Is A Philly, No Dual Date Or Privy?

Actually Gilly You posted Your waiting on 4 you had on subscription,


I hope you can see why collectors are Wondering, That were shut out on release day at Noon Too.....

Best wishes Gilly,

We are just curious as to How that happened, Thanks....

I'll try to sum it up, I've done it a few times.
The 4 I'm sitting here patiently waiting for (should be very soon, don't want a repeat of what Morgan's Dad went through) are 3 Congrats plus my one W proof).
I had 2 "active" Congrats subs. Plus I discovered I had 1 one "paused" status subs. I got 2 Congrats last year on sub, I'll get 2 next year (assuming the mint makes them, good Lord willing, etc etc). The one that was paused, is from several years ago, probably the first year they offered Congrats sets on subscription. I thought I'd hold a couple extras in the shipping box. Wrong. The boxes they sent the folder type Congrats sets on were a bit too big to store, so I had a friend send them in to get graded, one of the few things I've had sent to grading. Both came back 70!
So fast forward to this year (the 2026 "season"), again I had 2 already, both separate subs for 1. I looked through my subscriptions and realized I had the one paused sub as well. I didn't remember why it was there, I remembered all this in the last few weeks, having time to think about it.
Anyways, when I saw the paused sub, to be honest, the subscriptions were already full. But thought I had nothing to lose by "unpausing" (or resuming) the paused sub. I expected a message similar to telling me to "get lost" (you are at your maximum), but nope, it resumed. I'll probably pause the third one again. Admittedly I added the third one because it's a "hot ticket" year for the Congrats, I won't deny that. But if it were the normal W dual date, like the normal proof this year, I still would be getting 2, but not the third one.
I think this sums it up again, maybe with added details.
I'll edit in when I get them, they are out for delivery.

very nice ASE Reno!

Nice image of the boxes Gilly - a bit of an optical illusion you have going on there.

Even with the phone up right, sometimes the 'auto rotate' will turn the finished image.

Excellent!
