Let's not get carried away. The new label isn't an obvious improvement except, arguably, the holographic shield design. The existing label was already easily discernible from CGC labels. In all honesty I'm on the fence here and trying to be positive. As a compromise, I would hope CBCS considers offering an old label option for those of us who prefer the CBCS labels already in our collection.

It's frustrating when well meaning folks suggest that those who respond disapprovingly hate change. It's like stating that those who don't like the alterations are too "old school" to accept change. Disapproval isn't the same thing as hating change and condescension doesn't promote constructive debate.

Personally, I think change can be either positive, negative, or someplace in between, but should never be done cavalierly, just for the sake of change. I don't care for the new grade font or the strong color bracket along the top and right/left edges. There is one aspect of the new CBCS label that works for me, the holographic shield design, ...and not everyone likes it. Barring the shield, my subjective impression of the new label isn't favorable.

For collectors who seek consistency with other blue labels in their collection, the conflicting color palettes won't be seen as an attractive addition. The reason I mention blue is that there is a subjective mental image of blue as a winning color (think blue ribbon). We identify the color blue with pride of achievement on a purely psychological level.
