Has anyone cracked a CSG slab to send into PSA or vice versa?  It would be interesting to see the results other than speculating as discussed above. I have found that it’s going to be a tough hill to climb for CSG cards.  CSG cards are getting about 50-65% of PSA  values. One example is 2012 topps Heritage Mike Trout.  PSA 9 ranges and sells for 350-400+. CSG 9 was listed at $249 (significant discount to start) had almost 600 looks and 40+ watchers only to sell for $220.  I am hoping if all the previous posts are true, then eventually CSG cards are more comparable in value to PSA/Beckett. I have read all the various reasons for grading cards, my reason and I am sure most collectors/investors is to preserve/increase the value of the card (be it a 1990 Fleer Bo Jackson or a 1952 Mickey Mantle) I am hoping CSG makes some progress with a pop report and more CSG slabs hitting the market can only help.  Thoughts?

I stand corrected. Thats the latest sub I've seen back already by far. I'm still waiting on a walkthrough to be entered delivered on 4/2. I'll go back to eating crow.

Dang.  Good luck.  I don’t expect my economy level subs back anytime soon...

I don't believe you.

I sent my submissions UPS, date logged in as 4/10/21.  I just received my express cards 4/23&4/24.  I am extremely happy with CSG.  I also really like how the slabs look.  I hope they will hold value like PSA.  My economy cards are still listed as “scheduled for grading” I assume the volume CSG is handling is quite large.  Sending a few more before the price increase.
