This is my only concern with what I've seen coming from CSG so far. Overall, I'm happy to see them emerge as a new player in the market, and given their reputation in other industries, I think they have a real opportunity here to disrupt the sports card grading industry and emerge with slab resale prices that are probably on par with what we see from BGS. However, I'm somewhat concerned that they are a bit *too* harsh when it comes to centering. I've seen a few slabs on eBay where centering got 8.5 or 9 but the card was very nearly dead centered (one I measured digitally at 48/52 L/R and 49/51 T/B, and another was 50/50 L/R and 48/52 T/B, both got a 9). Those are just absolutely brutal grades for a card that is that well centered. If they adhere to this strict of a standard for centering, my concern is that people just will eventually just stop using them. Especially if they're turning cards that are 9s with BGS and PSA into 8 slabs with CSG. It's good to be strict, but if 49/51 isn't good enough for a 9.5, then I fear their staying power might be less than I'd otherwise hoped for. Time will tell. I've been buying up CSG cards on eBay in anticipation of their slabs rising in value eventually, so I'm a believer for now, but I'm hoping these are just outlier cases and that across the full distribution of slabs this isn't the case.
