  1. First of all I really like CSG and have used them a lot.  I recently got 2 or 3 cards back that I really expected 9s and missed by .5 of a point.  Both had 8.5 on the corners and I was certain the corners should have been 9s or higher.  Even looking at them now I have no idea how they didn’t get a 9 on corners which would have made the card a 9 final grade.  Does CSG offer a service where I can send in my previously graded CSG card in its current slab to have it reinspected?  Or do I have to crack the slab and resubmit it as a raw card.   Thanks guys.

    At the request of CSG customer service, I have provided them with front and back photographs of the Jordan refractor card that they originally graded at a 7.5. I have consulted with numerous people in the sports card grading field, and the consensus is that the card should have graded at an 8.5 or nine. I would be fine with such a grade, but the 7.5 that CSG gave the card is, in my opinion overly strict, especially for a card that is affected in value greatly by the downgrade it received. The difference between the first year Jordan refractor at a 7.5 and that of an 8.5 or nine is potentially thousands of dollars. Ordinarily, I would just take my lumps And be done with it, but there is too much money involved and too many questions as to why it received such a low grade. I’ll keep you posted.

    It’s the surface.  Looks like greening issues. I can’t tell for sure but it looks like his arms and leg have greening.   I had a Kobe destiny refractor with the same thing.  All 9s and the surface got like a 6.5 or 7 which killed the final grade.  That’s the only thing I see, everything else looks sharp on your  card.  You have to Spend the money and get the subs especially for a card worth this much $$, that was a mistake.
