    Hello @Mfreeman77, thank you for contacting us. We do not have any news quite yet on if we will ever be able to grade/encapsulate Tall Boy cards. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We kindly encourage you to sign up for our TCG Newsletter or follow us at @CSGcards to receive the latest updates on when we may grade these types of cards.

    Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!

    If you want to be considered a top tier grading company and compete with the other big ones, you have to be able to grade cards like the tall boys and other key sets/cards over the years.. come on get real !

    New Label Reholder Question

    I shipped them 15 total cards. It cost me about $45 to ship as I shipped them registered mail. 

    The per unit cost was about $8.50, I did registered mail each way though. Would be cheaper if you did UPS or FedEx. 

    Ok..I have about 30 to send in.

    Are they bumping say 8.5 to 9 or only gem mnt 9.5 ?

    Thx.

    It looks like my re-holder cards are shipping back to me today. They received them 3/31. They changed the cert number for those that do the registry, nice little bump for my cards.   

    Few questions..

    How many cards did u send in & what was ship cost to & from CSG ?

    With shipping & the $5 charge what was your per unit cost to reslab ?

    Thx, Pete

    It’s official! CSG is attending the National Sports Collectors Convention, taking place July 28–August 1, 2021, in Chicago. This is CSG’s first appearance at the National, in what may be the most highly anticipated sports card convention ever. After the annual event had to be cancelled last year, collectors and dealers are returning in a sports card market that is on fire.

    tips for getting a table in card shows?

    in Hobby Talk

    Posted

    I do a monthly card show in Tampa and I've done shows as far back as to Mid 1980s.

    Best advice I could give you his be organized before the show have your prices marked have some decent showcases don't have stuff just laying around on the table haphazardly I've seen many people set up as shows that quite frankly shouldn't be set up. 

    It makes a world of difference if you have a nice display & have a good idea what you want for your cards.

    And get ready for the new breed the show attendees each walking around with their black hard case of slab cards to trade or sell ! Lol

    You don't know jack.

    I work for nobody.. but if I'm spending my hard earned (retired $$) on grading (yes I have 40 cards at csg)..  I sure as hell will point out the issues that need to be addressed !

    You should be glad.. what are you a little sheep that keeps quiet all the time ?!

    Oh.. Can't say anything, everything will be fixed..... SOON 👍

    I almost wish I didn't have 50 cards in to be graded.. There are numerous issues that I think they failed on when they opened, & still are.

    Pop report, holder size, present at big shows and other known issues that the guys from BGS that they hired should have been aware of and things in place before they opened.

    And last but not least.. they'll give you the fluff corporate answer on the message board but when it starts getting a little more involved they stop replying.

    I'd think they are letting the volume pile up and then putting out a pop report with meatier numbers. They have it for comic books and they say it's coming ... so I take them at their word that it's coming. 

    That's not the point..

    Should have been done long ago. People that are buying on eBay want to make sure everything is legit and it's a properly documented card not some fake.
