1 do you agree csg grades the back centering much weaker than the front?  If not.. go look at 30 mint 9s graded cards..  you will see many of the backs are weak.. im ok with that.. but you have to state it..

2.  If you see the 2 cards attached to the orginal message..  they have worse than 70/30 front centering and still got an 8.. which should be a 6 under their stated standards..  .

I find this happens a lot in thier vintage grading..but not modern..  

It SEEMS like they have different standards for vintage..  the Larry bird attached also has 4 soft corners...  yes 4 lightly rounded corners..    

i seen people get hit pretty hard on centering , i watched almost every csg reveal on youtube csg is more harsh on centering then not and really harsh on surface if csg gets any more tougher on grading no one is gonna send cards in, check out Deviationcards on youtube and Nunzo cards they both use csg and grade mostly vintage, Deviation cards collects all 1950s Browns cards, should give ya a good idea of the vintage accuracy, those 2 guys are seasoned vintage collectors and know there stuff very helpful for vintage collector looking to send cards to csg, hope that helps

I really hope they let customers know ahead of time and give us an option if we already have cards in the queue. I pc Soto and have also been buying and submitting green refractors since they look so good against the green slab.

i doubt they would change the green its all there marketing, there logo, this webpage everything csg is green, i hope i didnt buy a bunch of green cards for nothing ha

Eh, I think it depends. I am grading with CSG in order to add cards to my personal collection, so what I do is take the profits from selling those and have that pay for the ones I'm keeping. 

For instance, if I have an 80-card submission, let's just say that's roughly $650. 

Well, if I hit the $650 mark when I am re-selling them with like 30-40 cards to go then anything after that is profit for me and I'm not too worried about maximizing every single cent out of those cards, so I'll let them go for lower than what they're prob worth at the time, and sometimes even below what I paid to grade them just to move them and get sales under my belt. I have found that people are more willing to buy from me after consistent sales, as opposed to selling them for as high as I possibly can. Anecdotal, obviously. 

yeah 100% i operate pretty much the same way, im more of a collector too but try and sell to cover my hobby expense if possible and I price very fair unless its something im on the fence about selling ill raise the price. I just noticed alot of csg slabs with great cards that are gemmints starting real low to start and if that continues the perception of csg slabs will never increase for BIN, at least start with close to psa comps lets face it more then likely a csg gemmint or pristine is a better card then a psa 10, its tougher to get those grades at csg the market is gonna have to start to reflect it at some point, csg values are going up tho theres a guy on youtube who compares recent sales and csg with the same grades as psa sold for a good amount more a few times

What is this in reference to? Have you read somewhere that they are changing the label? 

they sent out a survey about changing the flip and someone had a reference for it on youtube saying that they are definantly making a change, I like the green i even started buying green refractors and green teams to match csg maybe a black boarder to condense the flip a little but hoping nothing too drastic but thats just me lots of people not digging the flip apparently people dont like green which i think is BS they just dont like change psa's bright flouresant red doesnt match any cards 

Is csg going to change the flip? Is csg gonna change the green? if there is a change can existing slabs get sent back? Is the slab design gonna change along with the flip? curious to hear csg clients opinions not just csg haters on youtube

LMAO it is so funny to me that his thought pattern was literally, "If I pay the $125 price upfront to get this graded I'll just tack that price onto the value of the card"

Seriously at first i thought this post was trolling, but he's for real!! I can only imagine how much money he's lost doing this type of sh*t looool

ha yeah not too many buyers gonna use there money cause the seller wanted his cards back in 5days 😂 but i want to see overpriced csg slabs itll help when ya sell your csg slabs at a fair price, theres insanely overpriced psa slabs it just helps psa its bout time csg gets some overpriced slabs online too 

Think Jose Uribe when selling your slabs! alot of collectors especially new collectors thought jose uribe was a $2000 card when its a 10cent card, csg our tough graders a csg 10 should be more then a psa 10 so price it like that to start, then go down eventually it will catch on like the jose uribe card or jim edmonds card and ya'll know what im talkin about, dont lowball the slab out the gate itll never go up in value if ya dont price it as so, anythoughts?

i got a lot of 2 of these raw on now up for 50$ i cant move em, i guess lamelo's jump shot was falling off cause they were goin for $50 a piece at least

buy it now and dont let them push you. if the cards worth it, someone will buy

right, csg sellers need to stop low ballin themselves too, i see somethin go up like why you low ballin right out the gate, sometimes just seeing a high price will get buyers use to the idea of paying a high price, start high for a little bit then go down when its time for reality ha goodluck!

I would like the pop report so that we can see that they are the toughest graders officially. I like the slabs and will submit here regardless. Pop report would help to show that 9.5 and the rare 10 are exceptional and help with resale, i dont know. Personally I think it will be good to know what cards people are submitting, and to compare grades. Just my opinion. 

agree completely, i check the psa pop report for everything now but its not the same, I wanna see if anyone else got the same card graded wit csg and how they did how many gem mints of it exc. there should be enough data by now, at the moment i look all over the internet and ebay to check csg grades on specific cards, pop report would be a little easier even if there is just 1 card its something to compare

I made some subs with SGC when turnaround times got bad in CSG and cant get myself to like the slab. I guess its cool for some but I like clearer slabs like BGS, PSA and CSG. The slab also feels very cheap and yes they are very easy to crack.

yep i wouldnt mind gettin my cards back in a week but i cant get around it and I like black they just seem cheap its more like a case and not a slab but thats just my preference dont wanna bash i like that theres graders to choose from they keep prices fair and prevent a monopoly

I am 53 years old. I used to collect cards, but I stopped back in the early 90s. Rickey Henderson was my favorite player. I have an amazing 80 Topps rookie, and every single other card he was ever on...ungraded. I also have an amzing Fleer Jordan rookie I acquired before the Bulls ever won a championship. Also ungraded. I have Ryan/Koosman rookie, Yount, Bo, Shaq, and several others that are highly desired. All ungraded. 

Utif I'm being honest here, I am scared to trust my card to someone to grade (away from my presence) and risk getting back something other that what I sent in. After all, we are talking about some pretty high end, high dollar collector's pieces here. I see what the high graded cards look like, and skin hasn't touched my cards in years. They're in plexiglass cases in  safe deposit box.

So my question is, do I have to grade them? Is it possible to simply sell them or set up some sort of trust thru an agent and then sell them to a serious collector?

My kids tell me to sell them and enjoy the money. What is your opinion? Thank in advance.

ive thought about this myself especially for that jordan rookie, you can go to a card show and submit on site if it makes you more comfortable, that way you get top price for your cards 

i wasnt gonna get em but changed my mind, especially for the higher value cards, i think it helps if ya only get hit on one thing that lowers the grade, all 10's and a 9 on centering looks better then just a 9.5, and i kinda wanna know where i got hit with high value card, and overall flip looks better with em, for a $500 card and up ill cough up the extra $10

i have 3 more orders with them , they grade tough and i like the slabs alot , slabs are very clear and feels good in the hand , its gonna take sometime for value to go up with them but i pick and choose what cards go to what grading comapny , vintage sgc all day , if im looking to flip something high dollar its going to psa for everything else i use csg and sit on them and hope the value go up . Most of what i send to get graded is for pc and to leave for my kids one day  , but with grading companies catching up with all the back log cards they have the market is gonna get flooded with so many slabs from everyone . I think there is about 18 or so active grading companies out there and i most of them will fold and csg , psa , sgc , fcg, hga and bgs will be the ones left standing . 

agree, yea im still holdin back on a few big cards debating to wait for psa because its a such a major value difference with high value cards, you dont like csg for vintage? i was nervous subing vintage with csg but started watching alot of vintage csg reveals and changing my mind not as harsh as i thought on vintage, your right market is already gettin flooded with slabs even on base cards, im only buying low pop or low print run cards, even psa slabs are decreasing in price at times i bought a few psa 10's dirt cheap last week, alot of grading companies will keep the grading fees reasonable hopefully but your right most wont make it a year when psa n bgs return even csg hga n sgc wit there increased prices gonna take a hit 

some buy it now price comparisons, keep in mind it doesnt mean there selling at these prices but looks like csg sellers are gaining confidence if that matters ha

i do sub with them and like the slabs and have over 150 of them but i was refering to roi if you know what that is ( return on investment ) you must of missed that but then again i responsed to someone asking if they should use csg or not for there cards and i gave my thoughts , just cause im in a csg chat doesnt mean im not gonna be honest . 

fair enough my apologies that was a little uncalled for, as far as roi are those cards worth 150-200$ fee at psa for top value? Its fair to say its better to flip cards with hga or sgc at this time for an increased roi and its definantly not wrong so my bad your entitled to your opinion. im hoping for your 150 slabs more people continue to sub with csg so all of our csg values go up down the line, but your right it doesnt mean flippers should take a hit in some bigger plan for csg values to increase in the future.

Curious - does anyone have some good tips on csg slabs to buy now while the value is low (i.e as it builds up towards PSA)?

 

Trying to find some good slabs to buy low and some good cards/players!

low pop is always a safe bet but also i been buying csg slabs of classic cards that are real high value psa but cheap csg for example 1987 fleer jordan got good deals on csg 7 and csg 8's, Brady rookies and 2nd year cards, any kind of Brady shine , Trout rookies n 2nd year cards, cards your psa slabs gonna wack ya for get these big cards in csg slabs while there cheap, Kobe rookies! you can get a guarenteed mint card for 3/4 the price right now, just how i been operating its your hobby tho goodluck!

Personally I’d pass on sending to csg especially if your trying to sell them , csg doesn’t hold much value on resale 

why are you on a csg chat if you wouldnt sub with them especially popular rookies like acuna n tatis, are you just trying to sabotage a new sports grading company? ya run out of old ladies to mug? doing a little research is one thing but totally discouraging someone to use a company sounds like ya got stock in sgc maybe personally pass on being on a csg site if ya have no intention of ever using them

Torn on what to do with these. I have hit a bunch of 10's on these same cards from the same cases I pulled these from. PSA 10s are monsters on Tatis.  I know CSG is tougher grader, haven't seem many Gem 10s.. Love the $50 express vs $300 super express... such a tough call. Anyone grade any of these? Since there is no Pop Report would love to know what grades have been on these. These are not PC, will be 100% resell cards. Any feedback from those that have graded these cards before with CSG.. thanks! 

i would send to csg there good value cards but not worth $200 grading fee at psa, $500 is a good price for that card if he or she gets it, i think there perfect cards for csg the more csg slabs on ebay the more value we will get, collectors know the grading is fair and more on the tuff side if there buying for the card theyll start buying csg slabbed cards 🤞 ha  worse comes to worse sub em at csg and if psa really comes back at $10 a card crack em n resend em with a damn good idea of what the grades will be or most likely get a grade higher
