I think there is little doubt you are correct. Probably some of the same ones that griped about the lack of border would have griped about a border.
It's funny(to me at least) the trivial things that people complain about.

Not to sound like a broken record, but a trivial thing to you might not be so trivial to the next man. Chive on homeboy!

Well, if a piece of paper sandwiched between 30 cents of plastic that identifies a baseball card isn't trivial I'm not sure anything qualifies.

As for "Chive on homeboy" you got me there, I have no idea what that means.
I'm sure it's trivial though.

Well....I think that Andy Warhol couldn't paint for shit. Campbell's soup cans?? Give me a break. Yet his artwork sells for millions. I guess I am more tolerant of what people collect than the next man. I repeat, trivial is in the eye of the beholder. No judgement here.

I love my wife more than my flip. I guess that puts me in the minority.

Mike,

I think you might need to get a copy of The Urban Dictionary.
We tragically unhip might just say something like "stay the course" or "keep on keepin' on."

Best, Jeff

Default SGC Decision on New Design
Wow...I have stated numerous times on this board how SGC's customer service is outstanding. I wanted to wait and see what was determined, but IMO pleased that they will make the change.

More impressive is the feedback from this board...much credit needs to go to Joe G., The Net54 community, SGC Leadership, Leon and moderators...goes to show the credibility of our members, passion for our collections, future of the hobby, and SGC's ability to be flexible enough to make the change.

I'm sure the change over wasn't easy (there is always more to the story), but overall, feel they got it right...again, just my opinion.

PS...I hope Joe G gets credit and some free submissions at the very least.

Hank

Can't wait to see the BIN prices on the few "Rare Interim Flip" cards that make it out.

Bobby, I did not realize you were such an open-minded, live and let live guy! But in any event I am glad you and the others made it through the crisis.

The sour grapes from the opposition to the movement that got this done is nothing short of hilarious. Please keep it coming guys!
