Question about CGC "Signature Series" label color

[John A III]

I prefer SS when it comes to getting my collections slabbed. I do like the yellow, it is distinct and I think it would cause more problems then good if they were to change labels.

As has been mentioned, the yellow label makes the signatures pop - a silver label makes everything seem drab:

 

 

That silver is sharp. Love it.

Hello fellow boardies,

 

This is a totally random Friday musing, but I was wondering what you all thought of the color used for the CGC "Signature Series" label.

 

I'm a relatively new buyer of slabs (less than a year), but after having now seen and researched literally hundreds if not thousands of them while growing my collection, I've reached a couple of conclusions. While I find the standard blue label quite pleasing aesthetically, and both the green and PLOD labels appropriate to readily distinguish those slabs from the blues, in my estimation the Sig Series label takes away from the overall eye appeal of the slab given its fugly mustard color.

 

It seems to me that yellow (or gold, however it's described) simply clashes with far too many covers and complements the color scheme of few of them. I would suggest that a silver- or platinum-colored label would not only make the signature slabs appear far more prestigious, but they'd also look great with those covers signed in silver Sharpie and the vast majority of covers, overall. I'd be interested if someone could P'Shop a yellow label and turn it silver to test this theory...

 

I haven't bought a Sig Series slab yet, and while that's in part due to the lack of having found a personal grail of some sort, yet, it's also in part due to the fact that I just haven't considered investing in one all that seriously given how I find the overall appearance of the piece is rendered so unattractive by the label.

 

 

No wonder our hobby is dying.

There are plenty of yellow outfits that pop
