    Just got it in the mail today from Great Collections. Anyone else been getting any? Didn't notice it at first because the front is the same.[​IMG][​IMG]

    I saw these during the FUN show in January after PCGS gave out samples.

    In the two months since then I have been pleasantly surprised by them in that I believe their optical clarity is superior to the old slabs, the intensity of the blue tint in the plastic has been reduced, the edges along the seams are more square and appear to allow more secure handling and the plastic, thus far, is less prone to immediate scuffing or scratching.

    I sent an email to Don Willis at PCGS to let him know my experience with the new slabs and he responded that it was quite nice to get good news from real-world use of them.

    I didn't realize there were that many changes. Just thought it had a new hologram and more scratch resistant plastic.

    When I got my first one I worried it might be a counterfeit slab. The front label has 2 little nibs on it that I had never seen. I turned it over and saw the new hologram. I was pleasantly surprised how dark and subdued it was in person. The online pics make it look hulk green but it actually looks good.
