The new one is distracting, not because it is new, but because it is such a step backwards visually.
I've given this new flip a chance. I look at it every day. I haven't bought any cards with it yet, because quite honestly, it detracts from the overall presentation. It really does. I know some people will be along shortly to call us obsessive, or nuts, but I'm sorry, when I pay for card grading, part of what I'm paying for is the ability to display the card. It's bad enough the flip is so plain looking, but the centering on the flip is off. The first line of information is running into the SGC logo, too. They wanted extra room. Well, now they've got it.
Here's an example. Beautiful card, right?
