What submission surcharge? But don't you pay extra to do to and from the bulk submitter unless you have someone local? I basically paid $13 per card all in when I drop off at a show.

This is going off topic but what is the benefit of a bulk submitter outside of maybe not having to submit 50+ cards for bulk prices?

The main benefit for me is saving on shipping and insurance to send to CSG which isn't insignificant.

I'm curious what has CSG been doing with the cards that warranted Perfect after the switch to the black labels until now?

I've done this twice in Chicago shows. There was never a line so don't worry about that. They don't give you any receipt that they took the cards so that is a point of anxiety until they actually enter it in the system although the second time the rep asked if I brought another copy of the submission form. Maybe he would've signed that as receipt if I had brought it? They don't bother checking that submission form matches cards or anything like that. Last show promised two week expedited turnaround but it took a full week for it to be entered and took another three weeks after that to get graded. During that third week I called customer service and they had no idea about the promise for two week turnaround. Other than that, same as mail in

Yes that is what they are saying. For $5 until June.

They would have considered this a mechanical error in the first place and would relabel and reslab for you free. With this new label, I'm guessing you'd get new label for free as well.

Hopefully they will tell us what those were and let us decide whether to reholder. I feel like I might want to keep pristine 10 green over gem mint 10 black.

They answered elsewhere that it would.

Related to this, if a card was a pristine 10 without subgrades, will it be re-evaluated during a reholder for a perfect 10?

I am curious with the new scale, when you reholder existing 9.5s, will they become 10s automatically since that is now Gem mint?

I saw quite a few dealers with CSG slabs the weekend at Chicago Sports Spectacular. But also there wasn't any line at the CSG booth.

Personally don't mind the label but can't ignore the haters as resale prices are reflecting that. I see HGA cards slabs sell for more than CSG on eBay and that makes no sense other than people must want those labels.

Someone else posted that they talked to CSG and they replaced "Received" status with "Scheduled for Grading" status so it's now basically the first step so it really isn't a progression. Mine's been in "Received"/"Scheduled for Grading" for about a month.

I've noticed that some cards that are photo variation short prints don't have anything distinguishing them in their CSG labels. PSA seems to either add an "SP" on the label or an extra description such as "Batting" or "Warm-up shirt" or something like that that helps distinguish the variation. Will CSG add something like this in the future? https://www.ebay.com/itm/2021-topps-113-nate-pearson-csg-9-5-RC-blue-Jays-/313596350533 https://www.ebay.com/itm/2021-Topps-Triston-McKenzie-Rookie-RC-319-SP-Photo-Variation-CSG-9-5-GEM-MT-/164953455795
