First SGC slab I've had in hand that I can remember so I thought I'd take a few pics and do a review.
Looks great, feels solid. Very nice to hold.
I really like the black surrounding area - it would be particularly nice to emphasise certain colourful and even mainly one colour cards.
The label is very simple and black & white really goes nice on the black background. I like that they went to the half grades and away from the numbered up to 100 previously on the older slabs.
Slightly bigger than PSA cases obviously with the more room around the borders.
Downside is the case scratches makes it hard to photograph. And this is not an issue exclusive to SGC, it's become more common with PSA too and I think it might be a supply issue - if they are requesting 50 million cases instead of what was 5 million 5 years ago then the QC has slipped so they could make up the order in a timely manner.
This last photo on the back of the case is actually inside on the black border piece as well as on the outside so it's a bit annoying!
Case scratches are the main issue here. If you buy a protective case for a card to display - you obviously want it clear and mark-free to be able to view the card inside without any distractions!!!!!!!! They really need to pick this up and improve on this issue it's very disappointing all around.
