I need this coin for my PCGS type set, but the slab is ugly, upside down and does not match the rest of my coins.

Then don't buy it

There are some on eBay with the usual PCGS label. Not as many, but they're out there.
You're an eight cylinder engine running on six cylinders with that answer.
Please give us your best.
What more could he give besides his clear, straightforward answer to the complaining, insulting, and confused OP?
Yeah, I don't know that more is required. I could have gone on to suggest resubmitting to be slabbed differently, but that seemed obvious. He didn't really ask for a solution to the problem. He just stated that he hated them.

When I write too much, people complain. When I'm concise, people complain. What's a poor fellow to do?

Why am I "complaining, insulting, and confused"? I currently have 101 slabs in my type set and this one would be the only one that is different. I will continue to look for one that is in a another slab. I don't like to insult people, but i came pretty close here . . .
100% agree. It is sad this was the best PCGS came up with and even failed to spell America’s correctly. Could be worse…..
I'm sure there'll be many more in regular slabs in a few months.
Some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope, right?
Except -- there really was a reason not to use a new rope, they tend to twist and turn, instead of performing the necessary quickly and cleanly.
OP: Buy one and pay to have it reholdered...

I'm not a fan of any slab. Maybe doilies or white labels. True rattlers are okay.

As you always do:
Complain about the complaining.
You were complaining about a slab that you hate, yet there are plenty of options for a different slab.
You're insulting our host, and those who really like the special label.
You're confused when you say it's upside down - it is NOT upside down lol.
Why don’t you like them? What’s wrong with them?
The reasoning was stated in the original post:
”the slab is ugly, upside down and does not match the rest of my coins”
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
If you made a poll, you'd realize most collectors here are probably either indifferent or like these slabs.
Even so, fun thread. Thanks for starting it.
You are mistaken. I did not start this thread.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
You should have!
It's a good one.
Perhaps you should just wait and find matching slabs?
My complaint would be with the price.
You're insulting our host, and those who really like the special label.
The host will let the poster know if the so-called insult rises to a level with them that calls for them to take an action. Really, it's just an opinion. There is no need to get thine's BVDs in a twist about an opinion about a holder or the coin it contains.
If a picture wasn't going very well I'd put a puppy dog in it, always a mongrel, you know, never one of the full bred puppies. And then I'd put a bandage on its foot... I liked it when I did it, but now I'm sick of it.

Yes, I'm sure the host doesn't have their knickers in a twist over this thread being created to bash/opine on one of its products.
However, starting a thread with the title "I hate these slabs" on the slab's own forum is classless, just me. Not to mention dancing around breaking forum rule #4.
I may be insulted/offended by the OP's post since I like the label, but I don't have a right to not be offended.
So be it.
Hate is such a strong and powerful word.
It should be used sparingly.

Edited for clarification.
It was a joke.

After reading the comments to my post, I changed the title from "hate" to "do not like". There are a lot of good comments and I probably was too harsh at first. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Thanks.
More disappointed than offended I'd guess.
The slab is the standard PCGS slab they've had for years. I think what you don't like is the label and the orientation.
That is correct
You might like the slab more if it turns out to be a rare slab worth a substantial premium like the despised oversized Regency slabs,
As long as it’s a PCGS or NGC slab, I don’t really care what it looks like. Buy the coin not the holder.

Then you might want to fix the thread title.
What about OCD?
Yep, I can definitely relate…But, if it’s a coin that I really need for the right price; I guess I could look the other way.
