micky 8

agree i dig it!

i got a psa slab today in the mail tatis jr rc, bounces around like crazy not happy being its a short print card, i got a few csg slabs card is snug n solid, i bought an 87 jordan csg slab when csg first started i been a fan of csg since, the way the card sits in the case, super clear and feels heavier been a fan ever since, the jordan was a csg 7 wit subs I thought it was graded harsh but fair as a buyer I was happy, sharp 87 jordan for cheap in an awsome case, ill take it!! i could crack it n get a psa 8 or maybe 9 but i like it in a csg case for my pc

seems like wuestions for the owner logistical questions of card volume, shipments, payrolls and values of the csg brand slabs could probably only be answered by the owner. Cards n grading definantly a volitile market right now and companies are naturally going to try n make money during this card boom, All it comes down too, Is the service being provided worth the money? depends on what kind of cards your collecting and if your flipping or a more long term collector or is it worth to grade at all, It sounds like your unhappy with grading services across the board you might consider FCG nice slabs, 10$ a card and a promised less then 12 day turn around time there some FCG reveals on youtube

nice card ! good stuff same here, gonna start sending some nice cards into csg I seen some good reveals dudes submitting more highend cards to csg, I even made it a point to buy green cards to match csg i like emerald green refractors anyway always serial numbered and a little more affordoble then gold or orange refractors

sgc 75$ a card standard order? thats insane there gonna end up like curcuit city or quizno's, or blockbuster, I heard psa is coming back with a 10$ bulk order and this raise in price is very temporary but will see even if they do i predict huge backlog with them , hopefully csg stays reasonsble with there prices a major price shift can affect all your current slabs

love the project 70 cards im not sure if they will be worth anything i personally just a bought a few to support the artist, my handle pic is a micky mantle by Ces its a great way to get one of your favorite players hand painted by one of my favorite artist, a value increase would just be a bonus, most cards i buy even for investment have to be aesthetically pleasing a great photo, a classic nostalgic throwback or cool insert or some just an amazing looking set like 86 fleer basketball, 87 topps tiffany, 2008 etopps

a positive side to this is when picking titles csg is an automatic option, unlike hga meaning ebay recognizes csg as a major sports grader and one of the top 3

so you would rather buy a csg 5 in a psa 10 case? our we collecting cards or slabs, Its like buying bobo's in a nike box

great point I agree, i watched alot of reveals it seems like alot of dudes were afraid to send high value cards initially too, had alot of collecters with sending in wildly_fanciful_statement im bulk to get a feel for the grading but been noticing some of those same guys are starting to send in there good cards, the more good cards in csg slabs will def increase value, i understand gettin nervous sending off a 1000$ card to a new grader but its turning around, i was reluctant to sub big cards but i like what im seeing lately m planning on takin the plunge n subing my best to csg soon

seen a poll on grading companies on Scottie B cards youtube, Csg was voted last behind Psa, Bgs, Sgc and Hga? I personally dont care, im a long term collector im gonna stick with csg the company thats gonna be around, thoughts? bad marketing? bad flip?

grade the jordan definantly get insured before sending good info on here about insuring cards prior to usps, it will substsntially increase the value but also authenticate it and it will sell! good luck man way to be patient, grade authenticate n cash in!!!

dont use alcohol its too strong itll eat away at the card, a papertowel or microfiber cloth and sometimes dudes pull off the top layer of foil cards but dont recomend untill you practiced alot on bad cards

i seen csg 9.6 for these good luck

what happened wit the brady rookie?

did ya see any other 94 topps finest refractors graded some cards just dont grade well, i think csg is fair but sometimes way to harsh on surface it scares me I got some older refractors i wanna submit that are sharp but dont wanna get hit that hard on a surface issue no one can see, i think every grading company your gonna have to crack a case and send it out again ha but its a beautiful card n looks great in that slab goodluck

your right they cant afford the back log of psa when psa is giving out 70% 10s with the highest resell value but most of the csg forum complaints are from 2/21 to 9/21 when psa, bgs shut down, csg was gettin crushed with volume, when psa comes back csg's turnarpund times gonna be fast and thats when csg values will go up. If SGC was gonna do anything in the grading world they would have done it by now, dudes use em now cause they have too, but with psa open, csg goin strong Sgc isnt gonna get submissions except for a few die hards who like em for vintage, FGC is a new grader really harsh with nice slabs id watch out for them before sgc or hga but i like the csg slab personally and hope all new graders do well to avoid a psa monopoly forcing us yo pay a ton for grading to get a fair value on our cards

ended up buying that kevin durant rookie for 50$, I seen one with a worse surface scratch csg 8.5 selling for $1100!!

how much will a surface scratch like this set ya back assuming everything else is 100,? csg 8 ? csg 7?

$275 psa 10, check out the centering 70/30 left to right, 65/35 top to bottom gemming at a 10 and upcharging like crazy, who knows what else is wrong wit the card, how could csg or any grading company compete wit this BS, Im hoping collectors who buy for the card see through this scam, thoughts?

i heard they dont go by math of the subgrades but come to an overall grade of the card taking all into consideration for a final grade not sure if I agree with that rationale all i can say is if I get all 10 subs it better be a freakin 10!! ha

agree that would be cool i buy lots of serial number cards, its possible sgc puts it in the label cause you cant see the back of there cards in there slab another reason i dont like there slab but even still theres plenty of room on csg flip be cool to see how limited edition your card is on the flip

damn killed it i got most of those cards they look great in csg slabs congrats!

damn that sux hope they turn up, i would be devastated but wanted to thank you for bringing up this issue something i was always afraid of and i just learned alot ty hope they find your cards

i think it depends on the card, i seen csg 9.5's beat psa 10s but also seen a psa 9 double a csg 9.5, that gap is closing everymonth tho Psa 9's not doing great lately i wouldnt sell a csg 9.5 lower then a psa 9 right now, buyers seem to look past grading companies for an awsome low pop card, check out the jordan rookie comps between csg n psa not much difference at all, but a more common card like brady rc presspass psa almost doubling the value over csg

the way i heard it from csg is the math dont matter wit the subs, they just take the whole card overall into consideration along with subs for a final grade dont matter what the subs say idk
