Anyone else have to enter the data into the field more than once? That total sucks.

Yes, I sent to PO box. They signed for it.

Have 4 packages there now, they were all signed for on 3/20ish, not checked in yet.

No joke.. smh. I did get an emergency back-up person in case I have a heart attack cause I actually get a PSA box back. SMH

As an investor, would be great play to buy the CSG, and see if it is worth cracking out and shooting for a 10? You know a 9 at CSG could be a GEM 10 at PSA.. That is real thing to look at, is there a $300 plus difference in GEM 10 vs CSG 9? If so, worth a shot.. $1375 CSG 9, PSA 10 $$2300, I would crack that in a heartbeat! If you were that type of flipper.. which I think is gonna be next flip market... buying cheaper slabs, and flipping up...

Same, Have 3000+ cards at PSA now, just sitting there. SO many Shaqs, Jordans, Bradys, etc. sigh

I definitely agree PSA is best company for a true reseller cause they "give" out more 10's. I was gonna send more to CSG, but truthfully, I am scared to send cards that sell for over a $1000 in pSA 10 condition to CSG. Especially since I know I have pulled several GEMS out of same case already. (Granted I know, not 100% fool proof on that). But sending in a 2016 Bowman Tatis Chrome per say, that I know I have GEM'ed 10 5 at PSA, to risk getting a 9 at CSG, and lose $300-400 doesn't offset the cheaper submit fees. $300 is alot of subs... PSA 10's are so easy to sell. Not enough data yet on reselling CSG slabs, and no pop report hurts CSG right now. Time can change that.

You hit nail on the head. I have over 3000 cards at PSA. I knew they were so backed up, and it would take awhile for my cards to get back. SO, I just figured might as use their facility like a storage place for my cards, since they do charge us to hold them in line. I would bet if people had to pay up front for cards they sent in, it would cut down on people "floating" on grading companies. That would suck though for me personally. I know these are just cards, and not as important as life, but can you imagine if one of these companies were effected by a natural disaster?? Got one company in California(earthquakes/fires), CSG is right in Hurricane alley.. I shudder to think what would happen if a major hurricane was headed toward them, no way could they move everyone cards that quickly. All part of this I assume.

I am gonna bet that Topps will be doing something like real soon since they are going public. Will sell slabbed cards, right on site. Just like when you buy meat, if you want guaranteed best "cut" you can buy it like a Kobe or T-Bone steak. What I don't think we need are more new grading companies. I think the ones we have now are sufficient. They just need to expand there locations.

Yeah, I know. I wish we could watch "live" like a TV show. Would be crazy to see.

back. Surely you get a bunch of used ones. Never understood why grading companies don't make those available to their customers. Would love to buy some of mine back! Any chance you will start selling them back? Hopefully they aren't just getting tossed.

Exactly!! People can send whatever they want! Heck, I saw people send in Donruss puzzle pieces to PSA.. and people who hope people to out of business cause they like to flip, or hope prices fall cause they can't get their cards instantly back, they are the worst. I personally hope everyone makes money. I agree would love to see few more spots open up in other states. Would love to see one in Kansas, since taxes here for businesses are so low. Plenty of incentive to build one here.

Japanese Vending Series III cards? And if so, can we send in with our subs to csg? Or is it seperate mailing?

I know a guy that says he has dealer status and is local to you. He said he is able to drop off his cards and have them entered same day with CSG. Is this true? Is that perk of being dealer status?

I am sure they are super backed up. I have more ready to send in, but want to see what return on investment is with CSG graded cards.. plus I like to stagger my orders, this kinda throws off my schedule. Don't want them all to hit at same time.

Wow.. this is a different type collection. I truthfully tossed away so many Hernandez cards, and Lawrence Phillip cards too. Along with John Wetland and the Pirates pitcher.

Well, they know the business is there, and they know there is demand. Why not take as much revenue in will the iron is hot? I am sure they will be backed up soon too... but until then, make the money.

Didn't see any of these graded in CSG stuff on Ebay. Surely someone has graded these and sold these on Ebay?? I am overlooking these on Ebay??

Torn on what to do with these. I have hit a bunch of 10's on these same cards from the same cases I pulled these from. PSA 10s are monsters on Tatis. I know CSG is tougher grader, haven't seem many Gem 10s.. Love the $50 express vs $300 super express... such a tough call. Anyone grade any of these? Since there is no Pop Report would love to know what grades have been on these. These are not PC, will be 100% resell cards. Any feedback from those that have graded these cards before with CSG.. thanks!

Why anyone would want the sports card "bubble" to burst is so ridiculous to me. It just screams "I am jealous I can't spend like everyone else, so I will cheer for the values to all go down" or "I used to like it when I had piles and piles of worthless commons" to me. I personally love how it is hard to get certain products. If they are too pricey, I pass. As far as retail, I wish we had this bubble when I was buying worthless 2010 Topps. I wish it was hard to get that product!

Well, Tmoore, actually, I didn't grade anything until this past year. I have been collecting for over 30 years, and I bought several large collections from people right before Covid.. So I have alot of cards, over a million easily. You have no idea what I, or anyone has in their collection. So no, have plenty to keep sending if that would GEM.. and also, I figure why not use PSA as my own personal warehouse. I know they are backed up, when the cards are sitting at PSA I know exactly where they are. Not a big deal to me. Plus, I have case break room, and I personally break several cases myself. SO, no not part of the problem. I have enough money to submit whatever I want. I open lots of boxes too from various years 1980-2000's, pulling Jordan/Jeters/Griffey fresh from packs. Pretty ridiculous comment without knowing any information. That is what the real problem is, all of sudden these "experts" are over the place in all these rooms. LOL! All good though.

Anyone sell online in Facebook groups? I have my own breaking page, but I am on about 10-15 sites. Haven't seen too many CSG cards popping up yet in the rooms. I hope they do well. I do a bulk of my selling in the rooms on facebook.

I would have no issue sending those in. The first time is a little scary, but use signature required. You can see when cards are received by grading place. On those cards esp, MJ RC, pay up and use the best/quickest return possible. Don't skimp on grading fees. You are talking about a super high dollar value card. One that big, I would even consider flying in and dropping off card, if it isn't terribly pricey.. you can do walk through... That could be a card easily over $15,000, what is a $1000 to get it graded... could be even more.. so, at same time, you can drop off others if that makes you feel better. Just my quick thoughts.

I am assuming and hoping these type of cards are graded, sent in 6 of these too CSG in my bulk sub.

Yes, I still have submitted 200-300 cards a month since price increase. I am changing what I end them though. I am sending less and less Ultra Modern stuff. I will just wait on those to fall into the Modern submits... I am sending in a bunch of 2017-1980 type. Really a bunch for 1990's.. Jordan type stuff. If CSG works out, they will get majority of Ultra Modern stuff, and they get all my autos stuff now.
