Harrison is the same bozo that was spokesman (huckster) for crappy old style razors and Chinese knockoff WWII-like watches.

Harrison was also pushing energy shots ....also known as heart attacks in a can!
The man will pretty much do anything for a buck.
His 15 minutes of fame has pretty much "Gone a With the Wind"!

This does not surprise me. I have said from the start the TPGs are simply about making a market for themselves and exploiting it. Now they have a new market for even more ridiculous labels (forgive me those who enjoy collecting the labels for what they are.)
The TPGs existence killed the hobby as it was when every coin had value based upon annual mintage and MM (the term "junk silver" had not been invented). Keys were only a part of a set rather than jewels among junk silver.
And bow we have this... an institution some people consider to be professionals making a sadly laughable mark like this on the hobby. I would never want one of these coins, but I can see someone proudly showing one to a friend and them saying, "Are you serious? Who next to sign them? Mickey Mouse?"
Bad move. Embarrassing move. but unfortunately - you can almost bet they sell b/c of who is doing the slabs.

The label means nothing. It won't change the TPG hierarchy nor will it make NGC the go to for the premier market. Some fans will like it and that is fine, if they enjoy it that's what collecting is all about anyway. Either way it has no impact and the Wyatt Earp sig labels and other people long passed away is far tackier when it comes to that angle Quote:

All that did was expose marketing efforts. People now know what is common that was tried to be forced on them like it was amazing. |

Just as another member mentioned a collector would go for the coin not a Slab signed by a fake TV show Star.

To top it all off, his signature is an unattractive scribble.

Just pathetic. At least they will attract the viewers of the number one TV show in rural Kentucky in 2016 (as measured by Facebook likes). Could make money on them Smokey and the Bandit style- pick them up in Vegas and run them to Paducah...  |
