They are touting a stronger weld though. Stronger than what?

My biggest issue has not been new holders but PSA's increasing use of ugly wrap surrounding cards inside the holder (even t206s) allegedly to hold them in place. They've always done it on very limited basis but now going whole hog. Ruins many cards for me and I never buy them now as "aesthetics" mean a lot for me. I realize some people like the extra "protection." Anyone else agree?

It hasn't deterred me from buying one (at least consciously), but yes it detracts. It's just one more layer between your eye and the card. I have a similar opinion about BVG.

The size, location and amount of PSA logos on both sides of the flip, is a bit much, to be polite. Looks too busy visually.

Their weld machine setting goes to "11", which is better than the others that only go to "10".

To be really cynical, my guess is that our man in Mexico is not going to be deterred by this. I hope I am wrong and that it helps and it is good that PSA is trying. I don't think people really appreciate the extent of the problem.

It's more of an issue, I think, with cards where seeing a 10 doesn't immediately raise a red flag because lots exist, like Jordan, Montana, etc.
