Are there any updates on the JSA acquisition? I have a ton of autos that I can't wait to get slabbed. I'm hoping the pricing is reasonable for authentication and slabbing only.

I was not part of any focus group. I have offered my opinion on several things over the years but no one has ever asked. I do like being #1 in the registry but I really don't think that my opinion more valuable than any other collectors. We all like CSG or we wouldn't be here. I'd like them a lot more if the price per card dropped back under $10  But, to toot my own horn a little, I've been collecting for around 45 years and I have accumulated quite a bit of knowledge about cards and the hobby in general. More specifically. I like errors and variations and I have had some trouble getting CSG to recognize some pretty rare variations and notating them on the slab and in the registry. 

CSG.....oops CGC, definitely has the best slabs in the business and it isn't even close, but the constant label changes is an issue. Switching from the hideous green to the current version was a good move even though the green didn't actually look as bad in person as it does in pics. The problem that I see is switching from CSG to CGC in name. It will affect searches and ebay listings and now I'll have 3 completely different labels in my CSG boxes. I'll continue to support CSG and grade cards here exclusively for the speed, the price and the awesome slab, but it stings to know that I've spent a TON of money on slabs that are now obsolete as far as the label is concerned. It kind of reminds me of the Beckett BGS and BVG labels with various colors for grade levels. I hated that. I'll probably send in some of my previous 10 Pristine green labels to get the new fancy gold label, but I can't justify the extra expense for the rest no matter how badly I would like for all of my slabs to be the same. I've already done that once going from green to black to bump 9.5s to 10s. Oh well. Don't get me wrong, I'm still probably CSG's biggest fan and proponent. I can't say enough about the customer service and slab quality. I'll get used to this change eventually. Now let's get some oversized slabs and some after market autograph authentication. 

I've had over 5000 cards graded with the CSG slab. Now that name is gone and I certainly can't afford to reslab them all. Quite a let down.

Are there any plans to start grading larger cards like the 1965 Topps Football or 1970-71 Topps Basketball? 

Also, any plans to do non-pack-issued autograph authentication like PSA/DNA and Beckett BAS?

Hello Jpica1983,

It appears that the double hologram error variation has occurred with other cards of the set as well.  There is one of Joe Oliver up on eBay currently (item number 352990095124) and George Brett (item number 394105621131).  I don't know the frequency or rarity of the error but nice find either way.

Happy Collecting!

TwoYewts

The Joe Oliver listing is mine. These aren't exactly common occurrences, but not super rare. You'll find 1990 Upper Deck with missing holograms, double misplaced holograms, crescent moon holograms, and occasionally with no name on the front. 1991 Upper Deck has the most variations. Each card can be found in 6 different variations. No Hologram. 1991 Hologram. 1990 Baseball Hologram. 1990 Hockey Hologram, 1990 Comic Ball Hologram, and 1992 Diamond Hologram,

Are there any updates on larger slabs to enable grading of taller cards like the early 70s basketball?

It should

I have been a member of the entire company because of comics, coins and paper money

No love for #1 overall? 😁

I appreciate the tip but I think that would actually take longer than clicking the "add" button for each card on the website.

Is there a way, or will there be a way, to add all cards from a submission to the registry? I have several bulk submissions and it takes a lot of time to add 400 cards one at a time. Then I have to go back and check various cards periodically to see if they are eligible for sets. A notification when set slots become available for owned cards would be nice also.

None of my pending submissions for CSG or CGC are showing under my account. Is this a known glitch?

I'm not a huge SGC fan either. The newer slabs are growing on me a little though. I absolutely hated the older slabs with the green label. With certain cards, the new style looks pretty sharp. I did submit some cards this week (thicker cards, patch autos, etc) through a group sub for $26 per card. I'll see how it goes and I might use them for thicker cards all of the time. With CSG it is $12 for bulk, $2 for the auto, $5 for the thicker case. Even after the 10% discount that makes it $17.10 per card with a 150 day wait. The same card at SGC is $26 with a 15-20 days with through the group. It was worth the extra $9 to not wait. But, when it comes to standard size cards I will definitely stick with CSG for $10.80 per card. Hard to pass up.

I'm pretty disappointed too. I have 7 total orders pending. Delivery started 3 months ago and only the 1st and 2nd orders have even been logged into the system, with the 2nd one popping up a couple of days ago. Based on the advertised turnaround times, I should have had my bulk orders back by now, but I'm still waiting on express orders to get logged in. Pretty disappointing.
