Yikes. That design blows...

Yep, ugly. Wouldn't mind cracking one of those.

But the design can be redone. They are very well respected for coins as well (NGC)

Could someone here photoshop a Goudey Ruth for giggles. The label seems bold and takes away from the aesthetics of the card.

The green looks a lot better than the light blue, but I still think the flip is too large in relation to the card. Especially with regard to the smaller Tobacco and Caramel Cards. The card itself should command the attention... not the flip. I would actually prefer a flip that's about half that size.

More importantly, I hope they can create slabs that actually fit the card. If they use Baggies, or have cards that are slanted within the slab (like PSA), then I am out.

First, the Gretzky and Jordan slabs behind it aren’t doing the initial impression any favors. Second, the order of the info on the flip feels backwards to me. “Mickey Mantle, Topps, 1952” just sounds wrong. Third, they're gonna need to land some big fish collectors/collections to convince anyone that they’re a serious player.

As far as the green goes, personally I think any color at all on a flip detracts from the card, regardless of the TPG.
