This is simple supply and demand. If they can only grade 1,000 cards a day but are getting submissions for 3,000 cards, you have to raise prices to both enable expansion and to try and prevent a huge backlog. They had no way of knowing that they would be in a position to be basically the only choice for 80% of the entire market within 2 months of opening the doors. I feel like they are not doing enough to try and grow faster and limit a huge backlog. I would have raised prices significantly more. Allowing a super focused approach on keeping return times as low as possible, and quality high, similar to SGC, but not to their extreme. A $25 bulk cost would do that, also allowing them to put all the extra profit into growth, perhaps allowing them to drop prices back to a fractionally lower rate than PSA when / if they ever open back up value submissions. Because when / if PSA ever opens they will be at $40-50 for value, almost guaranteed. The only way CSG keeps its current market share or even close to current levels is if they can move as fast or faster than PSA at a fraction of the cost.
