GameChanger? A one-stop shop for selling a matched pair!


"Next up for bid is this duplicate serial number production error!"



Quite often when two individuals are informed by Project 2013B that they each own one-half of a matched pair, their is confusion (particularly among non collectors) as to what the next steps should be, or even how much their bill is worth. I have always left negotiations up to the two parties involved.

Today, I am pleased to offer this set of instructions for selling which involves much LESS 'trusting the other guy', and will truly fetch you a price of what your bill is really worth. Of course this process is for cases where both owners want to sell the matched pair, but it could also be a viable alternative where negotiations are at some impasse. I have reached out to other auction houses several times to come up with a step-by-step process that one could follow, but unfortunately we never heard back. Fortunately the auction house GreatCollections did respond, and we now have a process to follow!  Best of all, the grading of each bill in included; it's like a one-stop shop.
Most of these steps document the real life experience of two owners who submitted their bills to the auction house GreatCollections. At the time of writing (March 2023), both banknotes are currently at the grading stage. Apparently the grading companies that certify and grade banknotes have a backlog of anywhere from 60 to 120 days!

The step-by-step instructions can be found at this link: INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions will be provided in all future notifications to members whose bill is found to be part of a newly discovered matched pair in the database.
