I don't think I've ever seen a group of guys get so upset over color. Maybe SGC will let you choose the right flip colors to match your dresses.

Not trying to be a "tow the line guy" but I really do like the new flips just the way they are. I think they look classy with the hologram type background. As I told Sean, I will just have my pre and post May 2014 flips. I realize there are others who ONLY want one thing but as a type collector I have never only wanted uniformity. I do understand others concerns though. But I do like the way the new ones look quite a bit. I think (my opinion only) they are actually as good looking as the older ones....or darned close to it. Also, I have been told they actually look better in hand than they do from scans. I am sending in cards soon and will be happy to have the new flips.

As an SGC slab collector, I think I'm almost more concerned about the size of the holder -- is it changed at all? Having SGC and PSA cards lined up back to back drives me crazy with the different dimensions of the slabs.

Thanks for addressing the issue Sean, but unfortunately the flips are still ugly and shouldn't have to be and it may cost SGC some business. If you're okay with it that's on you and your company.

Default SGC Response concerning new labels

Maybe SGC can provide sleeves in the future, that would help with the uniformity that some collectors are looking for, so sets can look good together and consistent. There must be product out there already that can change what a holder looks like by just adding a plastic or felt sleeve.

This is what the new flip will look like, assuming no change to the slab or gasket.

And what it would like with the green border.

The new flip looks infinitely better with a green border IMO. Could someone add a simple poll where you select flip a) proposed flip or flip b) same new design with green border? If not I'll do it when I get home and have access to my computer. Maybe this will illustrate the point for SGC.
