New Grading Company - CSG

The second one looks far better to me. Better ratio of card to slab.

I hope also, that they will have slabs that can properly accommodate the size of these smaller cards, without the use of a hideous wrinkled up baggie (PSA style). That is an immediate deal killer for me. I actually display most of my cards, so a clean refined look is far superior to PSA's haphazard tilting cards with baggies.

Thanks for doing the photoshop!

You're welcome. I display my cards too. The holders matter to me, very much. And yes, I have a current preference

EDIT: Note that any slab even an 1/8" taller than an SGC slab will not fit in my display case.

Beautiful display.

That's exactly what I meant to convey about clean aesthetics and a slab that emphasizes the card above the slab. Awesome Goudeys and classy looking display!

You're welcome again! OK, I had to put in a little more time for you Tobacco types, but I'm glad I did because the third image below is my favorite. It's similar to SGC but better, IMHO. I like how the black background not only does its wonders for the card, but makes the label really pop. If we could get rid of the green and go B&W on the label, I'd be even happier, but that is probably a bridge too far. Companies tend to get very particular about branding. Very generous grading on this Coupon! Feedback welcome.

EDIT: Scale should now be accurate.

Chad,
Can you rotate the Johnson image and compare it to the size of the label?

To be honest, I'm not confident enough in the scaling to make that comparison. It was done by hand and is not exact by any means. This is just meant to give an idea of what it could look like. I think that it's fair to say that the label and a T206 would be pretty close in overall surface area.

EDIT: OK, when I figured out that the flip is almost exactly the width of the 1957 Topps, or 2.5 inches, I created a better scale. The T213 in images above is undersized. It should be a little larger. I'll try to fix those. This image should be accurate.

EDIT2: The original images in my post above with the T213 WaJo have been corrected. The card was a bit too small in all holders, but esp. the current CSG holder (as can be seen in Phil's reply). The scale should be very close to true now.

Curious to other PreWar guys.
Do we REALLY need the qualifiers?

Looking at that, I'm thinking that for T cards a holder that had the label on the side would be pretty nice. It could probably be made so it would easily fit existing storage boxes.

Sort of like this
