So since eBay is apparently blessing ICG as a member of the fab 5

Can smoeone please tell them to get a new slab? Only slab uglier'n than the new ANACS.

C'mon, guys. You're in the big leagues now. Buy a clean shirt and a new pair of pants. Lose the booger green insert. And what's up with the squeeze marks on the slab? What is that supposed to be, a slice of bread?

    I'm not a huge fan of the green but I don't hate it and actually like their slabs better than NGC and even some aspects of PCGS. PCGS could do with losing the feet IMO. PCGS feet break off and don't stack that well from my experience. ICG's rails stack very nicely and the finger notches are great if you hold the slab in your hand IMO. ICG's translucent insert is better than NGC's white but it would be even better to have a either a thin clear ring (modern PCGS) or all clear (classic PCGS). SEGS slabs also stack nicely. I don't really care for the way PCGS and NGC stack, or attempt to stack.

    I have to disagree, I like there slabs better than NGC's, time for them to dump the white insert for something a little clearer. As for the "squeeze" marks it makes for a good spot for holding the slab. Now if they could only grade a little better on the modern stuff.

    I think ICG has one of the better looking slabs.

    ICG uses a horrible fat font on the labels that makes it hard to tell 6, 8, and S apart

    "tis even harder to tell whether their moderns are 66, 68, or 70 if you igrore their inserts.
