I started a topic about this over on SGC's forum to get a definitive answer.
BTW, their Wild Card special from October is carrying over to November. $7 per card on any card valued at $250 or less. 10 day turn around. Woo hoo!

Is SGC changing their label?
Why do flips still exist anyways? It's 2013, print it directly on the holder; it will save paper and prevent fraud.

SGC (the flip from the OP) = Some(other) Grading Company

Better yet, for cards valued over $500 it should be etched into the holder. There are some amazing (and reasonably inexpensive) machining tools that could do this now and make it look really good.

It needs to be hard to do; that's the point!

If someone were to decide to make an "ultimate" tamper proof slab it would be possible but very expensive.
With almost any product there's a balance between expense and what's currently technically possible. Some of what's being done with cars is technically amazing.(Porsche 918 claims 78MPG and the Nurbergring record for a production car )But the cost is just as amazing. The best change to the flips I can think of would be making them a tamper evident sticker stuck to the inside of the slab. Like the ones that come apart revealing the words "void" or "damaged" The change to the slab would only be a way to isolate the sticker from the card since the adhesives aren't at all archival. Add a hologram, and/or maybe a QR code linking to a scan and it's tougher to alter. That could be done without much added expense, and would be effective until someone found a way to beat it.
