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.
