For us Pre-War guys the grade typically isn't the focal point. It is a feat for me to simply obtain SF Hess Newsboy cards. I want the slab to frame the card nicely and the grade is a distant second. I don't want a large number trying to take attention away from the card.
If you collect post war Mickey Mantles, maybe the grade is the bigger deal and you want to bring attention to it. The size of the number isn't a deal breaker for me but I do hope they retain a green label . . . seems were through this once before.

What a crappy looking flip. And welcome to the 21st century in moving to a 1-10 grading scale. They can re-invent themselves and pull rabbits out of their hat all day long, but for post-war sales value, PSA will still blow them out of the tub for the same grade on the same card.

SGC should start giving Old Judge cards (or any 19th century photo cards) higher grades for better image clarity. Makes no sense to grade corners and back damage, etc, when the clarity is what's important.

I would be fascinated to know what research they did that led to the decision to go with these new flips.
