New SGC Look?

[usernamealreadytaken]

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

This will hurt the resale value of SGC cards.

No doubt about it - this is a gamechanger. I may stop collecting cards altogether.*

I'm quitting the hobby because of it

I must confess that one of the advantages of the old flips is that sometimes you can only see the upper half of the cert number until you get the card.

We can only hope.

I still need quite a few cards to complete my set.

But Hey, turn lemons into lemonade.

This adds a whole new dimension to my collection.

I'm going to do a flip run, you know, kinda like T206 collectors do a back run of a certain player.

In the spirit of compassion I am also willing to buy some of the newly holdered cards at 70% retail. I know that offer may shock some of you but I want to do the right thing.

Any time I get one of Howe's cards that has been graded, by anyone, I bust it out and put it in the binder. But I've always thought that at some point and time (maybe card 300, or 500, or whatever) I'd send them all off to be graded, in hopes of getting consecutively numbered cards back. And I always thought it would be SGC I would send them too, because of the black gasket that makes any card pop compared to the plain plastic around others, and an overall look of elegance, compared to other graded cards.

Now, with this ugly white-for-the-most-part flip, which almost draws the eye to the flip instead of the card, guess I'll be saving all my money to buy more cards to go in to the binder, and forget about SGC.

I agree with everyone who put the new borders in green. That design will stand out at a show, etore, etc. In addition, it takes the design out of the PRO, MGS design realm.

It's just....too....much!

New holder + new flip + new website
Is equivalent to:
New job + new house + new baby

Way too much to bite off at one time.
