Sadly, I think they are worse than GAI.

Who was the dealer who used to make up his own labels to justify his grades - David Festberg?

I remember similar chatter when the last flips were introduced. Bolder green border - how dare they? Adding the website address, removing the gold foil on the back etc. Change is always hard. I guess I wish they had asked the customers first - or had a poll, contest etc. Maybe even give customers the preference to use the 'old flip' for their sets etc. Maybe provide a 5 year grace period for that.

I'll wait until I see one in person before deciding. One feature I wish they (and others) would incorporate is the Q-Code (on the back). Those square bar code things. Easy to scan/verify into registries or looking up at shows.

I'll still support SGC and wish them the best.

Must agree that change is not always taken will at first.

Happens all the time in coin collecting.

Give it time and don't be to harsh in judgement. A font, boarder and color change, to a slab flap, does not mean the company's quality and customer service has changed.

I don't thing that graphically the flap is as good as what they had.

But it's not a deal breaker for me also.

Nice post. Before anyone jumps off of the closest skyscraper I will be posting a scan of the new flip in the next hour or so. It is a fair amount different looking than what is posted on their website. It does have some green, no it isn't the same as the old one, but it looks a lot better to me than the one posted. Once SGC says it's ok I will post. It will be very soon.....

Thank goodness you posted this. I was on my way to a skyscraper to jump.

Serious work needs to be done to fix the population report. Searching by player name is easy and straightforward. If I search for an obscure set and type in everything exactly as listed (even using a listing under a player to verify how they would like the set to be identified), it comes up shooting blanks.

I liked how, in the past, I could simply type in 1921 and it would pull up the 20 or so sets from that date. This should be a fairly easy fix (although I am not an IT expert). I'm surprised no one noticed this during a test run w/ the new site before releasing to the public.

I'm looking forward to seeing a good scan of the new flip, Leon.

To SGC: Try this, "You'll Flip over our new Flips!" That should do it.
