SGC Response concerning new labels

[Gradedcardman]

Think I will only buy the old style...damn the new ones (really ? it matters that much)

[frankbmd]

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Then SGC changed their flip this way
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, my cards seem half of what they used to be
No green borders on the flips I see
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why the flip had to go I don't know they wouldn't say
Did I say something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, TPG was such an easy game to play
I liked S G C, not P S A
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why the flip had to change I don't know they wouldn't say
Did I say something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, TPG was such an easy game to play
I liked S G C, not P S A
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm


Back in the day every record had a "flip" side.

Frank, you think that you can just waltz back in here with some silly song, with all your charm and wit, after calling us a bunch of lemons.

I think not!

My point has been, and will continue to be, in terms of trying to retail with the new flip, it does not look right.

I'm more concerned about the retail aspects then the inforrmation because if the flip does not stand out, then these flips might be passed by because the appear to be similar to those of 2nd rank grading services

As I stated way up top--it's irrelevant that SGC claims that needed to make changes because of new computer program. No one is saying they should not make any changes, just that the ones they made--which were design choices, not mandated by computer--are bad. Their claim that "some people just don't like change" is, frankly, pretty offensive when they have offered no explanation of why these particular choices were made.

Maybe they will learn. Even as big as Coca-Cola is as a Fortune 500 company, they too, learned quickly to get rid of "New Coke". Lest they wanted Pepsi to be the only game in town with the majority of the market share.

They offered a lot of explanation but you failed to listen. (see first post)

+1. That's how I read it too--almost condescending. The fact that you need new computers, etc. is certainly understandable and probably well known to all. This is not the problem. There are at least 150 species of animals on this planet and probably some plants and minerals with more computer/techno knowledge than I and yet even I could find decent labeling software and a nice printer to address these so-called concerns. Several here have prepared mock-ups of superior labels with only hours or less of time to do so. I still have not seen an explanation as to how this label provides an extra line of text more than the last one. They removed their barcode, which is neither here nor there to me although it might be nice on the back for those with proper scanning abilities, yet their website still extolls as one of the virtues of their product the existence of this barcode. Then to basically shrug the whole thing off with the old "you can't please everybody" byline is exactly that---dismissive.

The folks on this board come from many walks of life, and several have had the opportunity to elicit sales pitches from advertisers and design folks on how to better improve the perception of their product or service. I wonder how many of us would accept this presentation and explanation as being even professional, much less something we would find attractive.
