If they were too effective at identifying alterations they'd probably be sued, perhaps including by PSA.

This makes no sense.

I like the flip design: as an OFIT (Old Fart In Training) I appreciate the larger cleaner lettering without all the noise in the background.

The scales logo is the parent company's logo and predates SGC: as I recall, SGC was started by the parent company and then sold off, so SGC took the logo rather than the other way around.

As for their prospects, it is very exciting since it is the main CU rival starting it up. I would try their service rather than waiting a year for PSA to process an order.

I hope they go with a black insert.

The look is popular. It also seems like a huge money saver. The insert has to be cheaper than different holders for different size cards.

Agree with this on both counts.... more cost effective, and better aesthetics.
