I personally like the colors. But, like you, I do not like the blue labels. Every time I see one I pass it up because, like you said, it appears there is something wrong with the card aka it didnt meet minimum grade. To me I dont want a damaged authentic card. I would be more apt to buy a 6.5 Cam Newton Auto card for $150 then I would to buy the same card "authentic" for the same $150. Meaning I would overpay for the actual grade than underpay for "authentic". I have only one blue label and it is altered. Everything else I submit gets a grade. Its worth it for me just to know what is wrong with the card numbers wise. As for clear labels - I'm not sold on that, seems like it would be difficult to read. Maybe a green or something not so standoutish LOL

And that's the inherent problem with blue labels. The perception of alterations. Maybe there needs to be something to separate the altered cards.

I noticed the Beckett's logo stands out pretty well on the clear part of slabs.

I suspect more people would get cards authenticated or just slabbed if they could rather than get a numerical grade.

We all have cards that we love that have great patches but were cut wrong. It would be nice to have it slabbed, especially since you already know it won't have google at numerical grade.

Some series are not cut well. Wouldn't it be nice to protect those from further chipping and damage? I'd rather have the slab than to have an 8.0 grade andhave to crack the case to get more value. I've just wasted money grading in this scenario.

I would love the idea, they could just write BGS on the slab. It would look nice too IMO.

My thoughts exactly!
