I think it will go to PSA as I feel CSG's AI will hit it hard.

Will do.  Thanks. I still have the cert sticker from Beckett

Has anyone sent in a card only to have it come back damaged?  I received my first order back last week and was very surprised to get a low grade on a card that had previously been graded.  Looked it over and it has a crease through the bottom 3rd.  

Anybody dealt with this before?  

Thanks

Just got wind of the grades. 

Duncan got a 9.5

Jordan's got a 8 and a 9. Pretty happy with them.

Thank you for your question. Grading subs requires a more detailed look into the centering—for primary front and back designs within the frame of the cardstock as intended by the original design, surface, edges and corners— for visual and structural integrity of the card. It takes more time to grade subs for those reasons and every card that receives subs has to be individually looked at. 

So you are saying they are graded to a different standard???  They are looked at differently?

These are cards I just got back from CSG.  I was only disappointed by the Penny Hardaway card.  I missed this soft top left corner somehow.  Also, the Iverson label is missing the part about this being the silver Reebok parallel.  CSG is currently reviewing this now in the hope they'll send me a label to have this shipped back and fixed.  All in all, I like CSG.

Very nice!  Mine are in encapsulation right now.  Grades should be coming soon.  IF they grade well, I have a pile more to send, PIppen, Robinson, Nash, Garnett, etc.

I'll trade ya a Collector's Choice Vlade Divac Silver Sig.

I'll trade you a 1990 Score Bo Jackson for it......

Thanks for your hopeful words, and I sincerely hope you are right about CSG‘s place in the sports card grading hierarchy. I was just a little surprised at the grade that I got on that card because a sports card grading friend of mine told me he thought it was at least an 8.5 and I was in agreement with him. We will see how it all shakes out. 

Do you have a pic of the card?

You paid $125 to get this card graded????!!!

Yea that's the plan I have it listed on eBay now. 

Good luck! I hope you get top dollar!

Nothing from CSG yet....still waiting.  But I did get this back from PSA this weekend.  I have two Jordan's and a Duncan of the same at CSG right now.

Why would it cost extra for subgrades?  Aren't they looking already grading the corners, centering, edges and surface already?  Are they really just charging $10 extra to print it on the label?

Got the Kobe score back from PSA and it's a 9.  I'm thrilled about it!  I have a handful of others from the same set in similar condition, 2 Planet Metals and 1 Platinum portrait

The back looks like this.

Thanks for the picture to compare!  Congrats on the 9.  Are you looking to sell it?  

So I just got wind of my PSA order from February.  Brady RC got a 6, but my Metal Universe Kobe got a 9.  So now the question is, did I up by sending my Metal Universe Jordan's to CSG instead of PSA....>Time will tell.

If I can spend $8 to turn my $1 1991 score bo Jackson into $50 then hell yes I’m gonna do it. Blame me all you want, as the great Randy Moss once said “It’s straight cash homie”

My First two CSG cards, both were Express Grades... 
The Jordan got a perfect 10 on Centering, but an overall 9 grade, Looks great though.

The Kobe had 3 sub grades that were 9.0 or higher, and a very unfortunate low surface grade that brought the overall card grade down.  This was opened directly from pack and placed in sleeve, so whatever they found an issue with on the surface was directly from the manufacturer, regardless the card and it's colors look amazing in the CSG Slab on the Kobe Rookie.   

I just sent in two of those Jordan's last week.  How does the back of yours look chipping wise?  

I hear ya.  With the max grade allowed only 1 point above the lowest subgrade, will the ink stain cause the surface to be a 6?  7? 8?

I'm on the fence about sending  a bulk order before the end of the month.  Probably half of the lot would be 90's cards that don't have much value if they aren't graded.....at 8$ per card though I have a pretty good shot at doubling my money.

I’ll start by saying that I’ve never looked this close at my cards in the past and I’m starting to notice little things. I have a 1989 topps traded Aikman that I thought was perfect. Crisp corners, pristine edges, good centering, etc. but upon further inspection, it has an ink stain on the bottom border of the card. A small pink, red spot that I’m sure came from the pack that way. How far will it drop the overall grade of the card in your opinion? 
 

thanks, Danny
 

Yeah, I don’t think it’s a 9.5 but I’m hoping for 8+. Who knows tho, I’ve never had. A card graded. I have the Kobe from this set at PSA right now. Who knows when I’ll get that back 

Here's the issue with mine.  I have the chipping on the edges of the bottom and top.  Corners and surface look good, I just don't know how much that will ding me.

Has anyone had 97 Metal Universe basketball graded here?  I was hoping for some close up pics and grades to compare mine to before I send them out.  I have the Jordan, Kobe, Garnett, Shaq, Iverson, Duncan and more.  

Thanks, D
