The recovery of third-party encapsulation and grading expenditures when an asset is acquired at a discount below the physical cost of replacement grading fees, shipping, and insurance.
A man learns that the 13th floor of an office building is...death. He has a weak heart but his wife is sickly and he begs to be sent back in order to care for her. Death tells him that this is most irregular and that they went to a lot of trouble to bring him to the 13th floor this evening, but if he insists on going back, he must accept another 30 years of life. The man gratefully agrees and gets back into the elevator to leave the 13th floor. When he exits, he sees his ill wife getting into the neighboring elevator and riding it up to the 13th floor. He realizes his wife was destined to die this evening and that Death was trying to keep them together. Since he insisted on living, he must spend 30 years without his wife.

Hugh Carter has a weak heart but his wife is also sickly and he works hard in order to send her to a better climate. In his office building the elevator takes him to the 13th floor where he encounters a figure who says he is Death. Hugh protests that he must return to earth and care for his wife. Death explains that he was brought here for a special reason but agrees to send him back if he accepts living another 30 years. Riding the elevator down he sees his wife riding up to the 13th floor and realizes she was destined to die this evening and Death was trying to keep them together.
A woman murders her husband for his money but when she reads his will, she notices he forgot to sign it. She pays a medium to summon his spirit to get him to sign it, but she finds herself transported into her husband's coffin with the dead man, not the other way around.
