What do you think of the new PSA slab?
What do you guys think of the new PSA slab?
https://www.psacard.com/security A lot of new features. I think the QR code on the back is a little dated but I guess that's a nice feature for the registry. What I really don't like about the new slab though is this new 'lighthouse' PSA logo on the front. It's HUGE not to mention it dissects the classic red border. Suddenly all of the old PSA slabs will look out of place because the border is now split. I have a feeling a lot of OCD collectors will have an issue with this and/or people that like to display their PSA cards. It reminds me of the time SGC messed with their iconic green border and after a lot of negative feedback they tweaked the design to incorporate the border. I appreciate the new technology, but this new PSA front logo is going to stick out like a sore thumb when every PSA slab made since 1991 has an unbroken red border. It would be great if they would consider moving the light house logo above the classic red border and just make the new logo a little smaller.

Lets not forget the huge push to get people to reslab their cards because any slab/label before this latest and greatest is just not worth having.
Here is a link to this same thread already in the water cooler section. http://net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=241094 Last edited by bnorth; 06-20-2017 at 05:31 AM. |

At the end of the day it is still a piece of cheap mass produced plastic. And it must mean the last one from a couple of years back that at the time was so great has not solved the problem.

I don't think they changed the cheap plastic slab, just the label again.

the $7 reholder fee isn't really a problem imo, the problem is the $29 return shipping... I think the new holder will be good for the hobby.

I just think it's way way for them to continue to re slab cards. It cost them nothing to do and probably makes a ton . I would like to see how much they made from the last time they made a a hologram.
If they change the plastic holder that will cost to much money. No matter how much they say that it's for you the collector. Remember it's about how much money they make.

I personally like the new PSA flip a lot, so much so, that once I saw it, I renewed my PSA Platinum membership because I was afraid prices would soon go up. I'm sold on it, and the logo dissecting into the red frame doesn't bother me.

Don't care.
PSA is like any profit driven company. Things do not happen if there's no money in it. Maybe it's protecting market share, maybe creating a new market by disavowing old holders, maybe just new flash to keep up with the times.
You tell me. No company will blab their strategies for all to see. Just have your cash ready. Pay up, sucker.
