For us Pre-War guys the grade typically isn't the focal point. It is a feat for me to simply obtain SF Hess Newsboy cards. I want the slab to frame the card nicely and the grade is a distant second. I don't want a large number trying to take attention away from the card.
If you collect post war Mickey Mantles, maybe the grade is the bigger deal and you want to bring attention to it.
The size of the number isn't a deal breaker for me but I do hope they retain a green label . . . seems were through this once before.
