New SGC flip proposal by Joe G.

[Leon]

I want to take a quick poll about the flip Joe G did. I think it's the best looking flip I have ever seen. (nice work Joe)

*Suffice it to say there is no going back to the old one. Forget it. It's not secure enough and it ain't happening according to SGC. That being said....just curious of the response on this one?

[ullmandds]

Love it

[Leon]

They might stay the same as what they are doing but I can say they are in fact at least discussing this one Joe G did.....

[Luke]

I also love it. It would lead to my using them in the future for sure.

If they do end up going with Joe's design, he should at least be allowed the first card slabbed with the new design with a special designation in a line on the flip. Although a 0.5% commission on each card slabbed would be nice.

This proposed flip looks awesome!

[Stonepony]

Simple but sharp!

[dog*dirt]

I really like the one proposed by Joe.

[chernieto]

I love it too. SGC customers are some of the most loyal in the hobby. Taking account of your customers view seems like a no brain-er for continuing to please their loyal base as well as their bottom line.

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

I like it!

After reviewing all the posts on a couple of threads, there seems to be pretty good concensus that, regardless of whether one thinks that there needed to be a change at all, the GREEN BORDER is a critical part of an SGC slab's overall aesthetic and needs to be incorporated into any new design.

Kudos to SGC if they are, in fact, re-considering.

I like this one alot, of course "some" people will say we are following the leader here, but after personally looking over all the photoshops I prefer the one by Joe. It stands out to me.

Joe,

I really like it. Hopefully, SGC will take this flip into consideration. I'm not a fan of the one they are planning to use, and I hope it isn't to late to tweek it, and use the above example.

Love it!

Joe G's does look great I must say

[oldjudge]

That Joe G, whoever he is, may not know much about cards, but he sure knows his flips.

[Harliduck]

That would solve my uniformity issue. Love it and would support that. Cool...

[glchen]

How about the SGC Authentic flip? I assume SGC would want these to look similar. If Joe G.'s suggestion is approved, would these get a red border?

I actually think that for the autographs the red who be nice as it would stand out.

I think SGC should go ahead with their plan, and PSA should switch to dark green.

I am actually considering switching to SGC for good. I like their customer service the best and love the black gaskets. The flip was always the one drawback, albeit a minor one. This proposed label would convince me to go all the way on converting to SGC.

I recently received 26 cards from them and 10 were outside of their gaskets, one obviously damaged. That's a problem they need to fix. I don't know if PSA has the same issues.

Edited to add: I only mention this because you said you like the gaskets. The slippery gaskets and their postcard authentication service are the only things I don't like about them (the black color is great); otherwise, they do a pretty good job.

I voted for Joe's creation and do truly think it looks great.

Having said this, I agree with Scott that they should fix the gasket. In my opinion, this is a far more important issue.

Best regards,

Eric

Thanks Jay and others, I've had a good chuckle at some of these responses, classic. I followed this thread today as time allowed and finally have a moment to post.

I'm glad others seem to like the flip. My hope in all this is that SGC decides on a label that retains a good look while incorporating all the security features they desire. I've opted to grade certain portions of my collection, some of my favorite cards, including my N172s, all with SGC. I'd like to continue grading with SGC and will if they retain a good looking label that resembles the old. I'd be honored if they pick a label similar to my suggestion (which was very similar to some of the other board members recommendations).

Thanks Leon for posting the poll

117/4/4/21. Pretty sure it breaks down something like this.

117-Please reconsider, I prefer SGC and don't want to leave you
4-I'm a volume dealer and support SGC blindly
4- nice effort, but I'm OCD and require a green border but am also a bit passive
21-what are we voting on again, and where am I?
