New SGC Label Design

What the heck is with the new SGC label design? Don't they realize how OCD we collectors are? I own a small collection of vintage cards in SGC holders. Any future submissions will not match due to the new label design.

Are they that bad? I have no clue what new ones look like.

They are quite bad. The old ones looked a lot cleaner.

I think I'm in the minority, but I like them. They're very similar to PSA's, actually.

SGC said that they needed to change to add 4 lines of text, which is a practical necessity. When making the change, they also added a watermark to improve security.

All they should have done was to improve the quality of the print on the front of the flip.

Do you have any pics of what the newest labels look like? The last change just looked cheesy, like something one of the far off-brand TPGs would use.

The newest one's look like a better mix of old/these, though the one pictured on the Aaron rookie should have a MC qualifier for the label.

SGC does not have qualifiers...just lower grade...7oc = 5..etc

Understood, was just joking about the cut on the pictured label. It's almost as OC as that Aaron

Thanks for the updated information Mr. Mint.

Looks like paper loss on Aaron's neck. So are there grading standards going down a little bit?

Goes to show why a scan works better than a photo on eBay huh.

It looks like the one thing that should have improved did not, in fact, improve.
