PSA Graded Cards and the Older Flip Label

Greetings All,

While purusing the message board archives in search of info on my beloved 1915 Cracker Jack set, I came upon a discussion regarding the older flip labels featured on some earlier PSA graded cards. I had never heard that mentioned before, and I was hoping that someone in audience had an image of this so-call "older flip label" so that I can steer clear of it in the future. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Jared

    Not sure why you'd want to steer clear of it. Those are the PSA graded cards I seek out. Less altered cards, more accurate grades. What's not to like?

The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Greetings,

    It comes down to my set's overall uniformity and appearance. The older flips appear to have been formatted poorly and PSA clearly recognized this when they introduced its newer labels. Dress-right-dress is key for me, but the responses I've received thus far are quite mixed. I appreciate the input.

    All the best,

    Jared

    If you don't like the old labels you can just send them in to PSA for new flips and pay the reholder fee of $5 per card.

    With the recent change in flips, does that make the cards graded last month "older flips"??? I think there are atleast 4 different types of flips. I buy the cards not the flips and some of my better cards are in the "older" holders.
