Here's my take on the new SGC flips.

Why get rid of the iconic green slabs? Literally millions of SGC flips are in people's collections with the iconic green. Green was (is?) their identity. Throwing in a black label (and a silver and gold in higher levels) will stick out like a sore thumb in everyone's green SGC collection. Uniformity is important to a lot of collectors...and SGC has a lot of loyal collectors.

Why such massive numbering? It's as if the designer got sick of using their reading glass and said screw it, let's make the font as big as possible. I'm all for using the single digit grading, but the numbering is comically big. All your eye goes to right away when you see the new slabs is that giant number. Is that really what you want people to see? Like look, it's a giant 2!

My opinion. Go back to iconic green in the grades lower than a 6. Go silver labels for 7-8, and gold labels for 9-10. And lower the font size of the number grade.
