Subject: I wish MAO would go back to the Schoppy crowns Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:11:50 07/29/25 Tue Author Host/IP: syn-035-150-243-214.res.spectrum.com/35.150.243.214 I keep hearing about quality issues with The Best Crowns but I understand that at the time MAO wanted to eliminate the "middleman" and that is why TBC was hired to make all local/state/and the national crown [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date I agree, the quality is not there. I just spent over $1K on crowns for my local and still had to pay over $50.00 in shipping (NT) No name (NoHost/128.163.239.177) 08:50:13 07/30/25 Wed Can a local just go ahead and order from Schoppy and not TBC?

(NT) No name (107-128-0-95.lightspeed.snantx.sbcglobal.net/107.128.0.95) 11:15:18 07/30/25 Wed I was one of the last titleholders to receive a Schoppy crown, and I still cherish it. (NT) No name (c-66-31-94-95.hsd1.ct.comcast.net/66.31.94.95) 11:20:53 07/30/25 Wed Agree with shipping costs. I also made the mistake of putting my real pageant date on my order once only to spend pageant week freaking out because they hadn't arrived yet. They came in time but why wait and send them express and 2 day shipping when I order them 2-3 months in advance? (NT) No name (23.29.80.195.bbc.net/23.29.80.195) 18:26:15 07/30/25 Wed We ordered ours in June, they have not been shipped yet...frustrating.

(NT) Would love to hear detailed comparison between the two… (99-7-233-117.lightspeed.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net/99.7.233.117) 21:52:47 07/30/25 Wed The Schoppy crowns are much heavier and hold up better and yes NEVER put your actual pageant date! (NT) -- No name, 13:46:08 07/31/25 Thu (NoHost/128.163.239.177) Crown design is exactly the same as it’s the same mold but the quality of the metal and the settings is drastically different. Period. (NT) -- No name, 21:12:33 07/31/25 Thu (NoHost/74.122.140.14) Better made. the quality of the stones is much better. I keep hearing TBC's crowns are subject to missing stones and I think the "shine" is not as prevelant as Schoppy (NT) -- No name, 21:30:58 07/31/25 Thu (syn-035-150-243-214.res.spectrum.com/35.150.243.214)
