Is this confirmed? are they really going to use computers to grade cards?

Are they going to continue to custom cut the inter gaskets? I hate the baggies PSA uses, and I'd be disappointed if they went that way. The clean look SGC's gasket provided was a big reason i prefer them. Note: being a low end collector, I really use these grading companies for authentication purposes.

I can�t imagine them changing that. I agree that the custom cuts and black background are what make SGC�s presentation the best.

By the way, it should be noted if it hasn't been already, SGC's new website address is...

Well that was fast. So the 600 or so SGC slabs I have includings ones graded a couple weeks ago are now legacy registry cards. I was wondering what would become of cards graded 10-100 when the new registry came about. I was wishful they would be able to be added under the 1-10 corresponding grade given on the slab. I like the new slabs. Thats alot of crossovers though to continue on with the new registry.

I am not really a registry collector, and I can even live with the differences in the flips. I just wonder if the new slabs themselves will be the same size as the older?

I agree with the PSA baggie but the BVG sealed sleeve is clean, stable and protects the card better than any current or former slab.

I have stated before I would love to see a BVG style sleeve in between two thinner SGC gaskets. The card would not slide under the gasket or have edge damaged. I have not noticed a problem on the post war cards which are thicker but some of my tobacco cards slid and damaged the edge, especially the older slabs because of handling and shipping.
