Just got one of my cards back today from SGC off the three day sub. It has the old style Flip which I like very much.

 I have the full set with all the key cards graded. Surprisingly most came back 7's or 8's. The rest of the set is pretty nice. Fond memories of putting it together with my father.

As an FYI
I reached out to Dave Forman and offered in fhe future to use my column as another way for SGC to publicize themselves, alert collectors to changes, etc.
Much of this could have avoided with proactive PR from SGC as well as using the community to discuss the new flip (which should not be a super sensitive company issue) if SGC's management is as good as everyone here says the customer service and the grading area are, then these minor adjustments can help SGC grow. And, since SGC is the unofficial grading company of the Net 54 boards, don't you all want them to succeed Rich

First of all, there does seem to be a consensus on a flip here, but there's even more of a consensus on the fact that the current one is no good.
Second, if you want inane, compare your reference to a thread some years ago, among collectors of all types including Barry Sloate, who as I recall has little to no direct interest in graded cards, about the logistics of when and where to meet for dinner in NYC to this one about the manner in which a grading company conducts its business. That is inane. We get your point, as inartfully and repetitively as it has been made. Feel free to keep poking-- I don't give twodeuces.

Don't tell me the flips don't matter. If that was true, then GAI, CSA, and PRO would all be selling for big money! After all, it is not about the flip, it is about the card! You can look at the card and see how good it is!
Everyone knows that is not true however. GAI cards sell for crap. Even SGC cards don't sell nowhere near the PSA equivalent for certain cards. And yes....if a label looks like one of those fly by night graders that I used to laugh about when I first entered this hobby years ago, then it is going to be perceived as being inferior. That is why some neighborhoods have homeowner's associations - to prevent the neighbor from painting his house polka dot and looking all crazy.

Guys, SGC isn't PRO or GAI. It's also not even PSA when it comes to customer service and integrity. Unlike PSA they actually listen to their customer base and don't get defensive upon criticism. I'm sure they're reading this thread and your voices are heard.
