while I agree that the submission takes time on the user end. I think the amount of detail helps them save time in grading and gets us our cards back quicker. The detail should help them find the correct card easily on speed up their process. I have seen HGA and other companies where they screw up the card label and put wrong info on it.
and......... they have a simple answer for people who are too busy to do it. $2 per card is very minimal is you don't have the time.

If you need 10x to grade a surface...wtf...???? you may as well go 100X and get down to the microscopic level and grade the damn tree the paper is made from. I feel sorry for all the people, including my self sending in 80s and 90s cards. A pristine 10 early 90s card is a CSG 8...you got to be Sh!tting me.
the hope long term is people seeing the value on a csg 9 and realizing that might be a better card in the holder than a PSA 10 where the grader was distracted, just saw a bunch of bad cards, tired, ect.

The above thoughts are correct. Remember who is heading the CSG grading division. A former higher level Beckett grader. CSG 9.5 will be the standard most comparable to a PSA 10. CSG 10 Pristine and Perfect will almost always sell for more than PSA 10 unless the PSA pop is extremely low, but also be much rarer, as it should be. CSG is very tough on card surface. I don't know what it is they are looking at or for but my last 19 card order came back with not a single 10 for surface. The only column where I did not get a single 10 at all. I have no idea what they are looking for as I sent in both paper and glossy chrome type cards. Out of the 19 cards, I only got 3 CSG 10's. In each case, the cards came back with all 10 subgrades except for surface.
they must be looking far beyond 10x magnification on the surface.

9.5s at csg are tougher than a psa 10. 10's are going to be harder to get and can't be set as an expectation. How many BGS 10's are out there?

Since it is a PO Box would signature required work?
I called them and and got the non PO BOX address because I overnighted my cards.

you are just wiping them off with a microfiber cloth. That isn't altering the card. I have observed this being a must on newer cards and a good thing on many older cards. Why would you leave a finger print or specs of dust on them to get a bad surface score?

If they are in penny sleeves inside top loaders, I would recommend attaching a pull tab on the penny sleeve so they can easily remove them for grading.
