New SGC flip proposal by Joe G.

[dog*dirt]

I really like the one proposed by Joe.

Literally all my cards are raw. The only time they get graded is when they go to an AH (ironically, I never get to see them that way in person). I voted for Joe's design, as that's how I think they will be best presented.

If SGC decides to go this way, does Joe get a stipend?

This is a more informative poll for SGC to look at since the last one included an option to keep the old label, and we know that that is not an option.

Yes, I love it. It's exponentially better than their proposed new version and would be, by far, the sharpest in the industry IMO.

Edit: Voting is overwhelmingly in favor of this version 44-1 (Joe's vs. SGC proposed) at the moment. I'd call it a landslide so far

I'm more worried about the Ryan getting a 92

I like the design as Joe mocked up the best so far, however, my only concern is how closely, other than the color, it resembles the PSA label.

Pete, quite a few people have referenced the card and assigned grade not matching, so I'll explain why they don't match up.

When SGC previewed their new flip design on their homepage, the card they used to demonstrate how it would look was a 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan. The entire card was not visible in the preview (which included three cards in total, including an example of what the AUTH flip would look like). So, I went to Google, then Ebay, and found an SGC-graded 1968 Topps that was graphically clean enough to use in mock ups. This is the one I selected:



I then re-sized the example of their new flip, and superimposed it on top of the old flip. Then, I added a green border around it:



Joe then took this mockup, shrank the lines and SGC lettering down, and inverted the green and white to come up with the final design.

It's freaking awesome. They'd be crazy to not at least consider it.

Just got my 1921 E121 Harry Harper back from SGC today and it had the new flip version that everyone hates. Lets say that I was less than pleased as it sticks out like a sore thumb. Really wish they had left well enogh alone. They definitely need the green borders to look right.
