right! i see some crazy slabs why would anyone pay the grading fee for some of these cards is nuts, I got Brady rookies not graded yet and dudes grading paper versions of Joe Shmo!

sometimes its the etching, the etching could be off or flattened i guess, those cards tuff grades but a 7.5 harsh

yeah i seen some recent psa reveals seen some harsh grades it might depend on the grader or sick of the reputation for being too lenient

beautiful cards!! looks like im not the only one gettin green refractors to match csg ha , that kyle tucker card 💥🔥

Wow that was fast, thank you!

Red Sox Retired Numbers. Any csg graded card of: Bobby Doerr Joe Cronin Johnny Pesky Yaz Ted Williams Jim Rice Wade Boggs Carlton Fisk David Ortiz Pedro Martinez Jackie Robinson Thanks! Hello, Thank you for the request. We will add this to our list of sets to consider.

CSG is doing everything right in terms of grading (turnaround times etc. are another matter). Their slabs are the best in hand, and yet look the worst on a desktop or mobile. PSA is very entrenched and it will take a long time for anyone to catch up. But CSG is grading fairly, maybe even a bit too tough, and then putting your card in the best quality slab. And then they are selling for barely above raw lol. It makes no sense, but here we are. The only way for all prices to rise on CSG slabs is if a bunch of 10s go for big money, but there is no market being set because the 10s are so scarce. And maybe, MAYBE, the flip looks a little clunky with no subgrades on it. Sorry, I'm all over the place here. So bottom line: smart money is buying up cheap CSG slabs now for long term hold (for the investors). Quick flips is for SGC. PSA and BGS are a sh!tshow and yet will remain #1 and 2 for the foreseeable future. HGA is a joke, and yet if they go to just being a custom slab company (and not a grading company) they may come out looking like the smartest people in the hobby. End diatribe

lol, this is too funny

SGC has definitely slowed a bit. I got a 6 card sub that was received on 7/14 and is still in the received stage. Still much faster than the competition, but not as fast as they were about 2 weeks ago.

Just here to join in and say "Same Here"

Just to give a sense of where things are at: I have a 10 card economy order that is on business day 70, with a status of "Scheduled for Grading".

My 2nd economy order was received 5/1 and is still in Scheduled for Grading. My first economy was mailed out 3 days before the second, and that order was shipping back to me on 6/1. Things have ground to a halt it seems

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I was simply reaching out to those on the boards who may have had a similar issue in the past either with or without CSG. Not that you care, but since you’re here, the cards arrived after randomly bouncing back and forth between 2 post offices in different towns.

Does anyone have experience with USPS Registered Mail? That is what my submission was mailed back as, but for some reason my package was forwarded somewhere in a different town than mine. I understand this is a USPS issue and maybe not CSG, but I was wondering if anyone has come across a similar issue and how to fix. I should note I have been trying to contact my local post office but have had no luck so far.
