It may seem funny, but the slab size isn't a big deal. And it would allow some slightly larger cards to go in a "normal" sized slab.
I do like the insert for older cards, although it does need some work to make it better, like a different thickness.
I think PSA slabs look cheap, and CGCs look a bit comical, which is no surprise.
But I do like PSAs look for more modern cards, especially ones with colored borders or no borders. Those sort of get visually lost in the black gasket.
What would be interesting would be a PSA sized slab for all the normal stuff, SGC sized for slightly oversize. But both with a gasket that was available in custom colors. For example, an orange gasket if you wanted it for an Orioles team set, Or red for the Reds or Red Sox.
Or even lighter colors to show off cards like 71 Topps and 50 Drakes.
They now own the IP for the slabs, expand both PSAs offerings and SGC by offering options.
