New Grading Company - CSG

[Exhibitman]

Aesthetic preferences are like buttholes: everyone has one. I actually like the holder and flip. And let's be honest here: far more collectors care about the flip than the card inside anyway. Perhaps not in this fine group but certainly among the general body of collectors. Once these cards reach the market and start selling all will be forgiven.

Adam - I think I like the holder and flip as well.
I'd really like to see them do everything right and honor all sportscard collectors.

Really anxious to see what type of results Leon gets with his vintage submission.
I think turn around time is a very big deal in today's TPG market. The delays have been intolerable for too long and collectors should root for a new player in this space.
I honestly hope it happens for CSG.

I spent a bit of time playing around with Paint to create a few concepts, please excuse my very limited skills. This is meant only as something to stimulate conversation, and hopefully is taken as such. I am absolutely rooting for the success of CSG. If they are unhappy with my brainstorming using their images, I will remove them.

In my ideal world, the label would be black and white only, but my Paint skills only take me so far.

The smaller flip definitely looks better!

Can you photoshop what a small T206 or Caramel card would look like encased in their current "mega slab"?

Better yet, can you compare the size of a T206 to the size of the current label?

That's where I was headed, I was actually thinking of a M101-4 in my mind. RL got in the way but after I finish work I may give it a go. I can't stress enough how much of a novice I am at this, what you see is just painting white, putting in a black box, and cut and paste. If I can successfully put a low grade non-color pre-war card into the image, I think it will really highlight the issue.
