SGC Response concerning new labels

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but you do acknowledge you're in the minority though right?

If I'm in the minority, I am in good company with some of the greatest collectors in the game.

On a serious note, the only nuance I have is wanting all my cards in a set to match. I don't want to have them in all different slabs. I want them to all be graded by one company, and I want the "flip" to match. That's it. Like someone stated earlier, maybe SGC is hoping to get rush of collectors wanting to get stuff in the new label. I can promise, I am not the only collector who feels this way.

I agree with you, my comment about being in the minority was to 2dueces.

It's a LABEL.

And it doesn't look like the others in my set!! Tell me this - if your keyboard for your custom made HP computer craps out, would you want to get any old keyboard or would you want to get an HP keyboard to match the one that crapped out? Sure, any old keyboard will work, but what if you want it to match the monitor and the computer? You might not care, but don't fault those of us that do!

Let me understand this whole flip-flap because since I'm in the minority and not yet a physiatrist, I'm a little slow. The majority of the board has it's panties in a twist because of a tiny piece of paper in a flip that has no value. It protects the card that you bought to look at. You bought the card right? The card? Ok. So I was unaware that the majority of board members suffers from the same serious case of OCD that Sheldon has. I apologize for not being more sympathic. I think we have too many lawyers on the board and not enough Health professionals.

BTW. Above post is all in fun and meant to try to get a rise out of the majority. But I still say, Just let it go.

Since you don't seem to care, and that's fine, maybe you should take your own advice and let it go? Just a thought.

Nah. Having too much fun with the old guy telling me to get off his lawn.

I'm sad to say, both generally and in this instance, that I agree with Wonka. It's far more than the flips here. It's the failure to gauge or perhaps even seek customer input followed by a poor response that are of greater concern to me. I am really having a hard time believing this group can be a significant player in the industry for very long if it is being managed at this level. I won't even spend much time on the additional problems with this latest product "roll out", such as the pop report still lacking (no search by year function), cards once in the pop report now missing, message boards either down or disbanded, no mention of whether/how gasket issues and holder security are being examined, etc. It's just a growing lack of a professional presence that concerns me. I'm no big corporate fan--give me the little guy every time-- but there has to be a far better showing of how to run a business than I've seen here for me to have confidence going forward.

This thread is about a "Label" and not the card in the slab ? I guess I don't understand this at all. I never even look at the label, except to see the grade. This is amazing to me. OCD lives on !!!

So your motivation is simply to annoy...now I get it. Knowing that I'll just ignore.

Not simply to annoy. Simply to point out that you guys are 5000 views into the second thread about a piece of paper that adorns your cards. I thought the card was the objective here? It's a group of guys bitching about a piece of paper. When we were younger we'd chuckle at the old guy on the porch telling us to get off his lawn. We swore we'd never be him. Guess what guys, you're him now.

I think you've said your peace. You don't care, we get it.

We are not paying for that old man's lawn, we are however paying for that little piece of paper, if your objective is to troll I suggest you start a blog. its relatively easy
