jdmtdcollector Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Will you guys be there and if yes will there be on site grading or authentication? Hopefully, you guys will be on more local shows statewide as I really do like your slabs. I believe as more people see your slabs, it will get more recognition. I'm from Dallas, went to a small card show sponsored by Dallas Card Show in fort worth this week, couldn't see a single CSG slab. Expecting to see those pop out in the big show 450+ tables this May 20-23. I'll also be in the nationals hunting for more Tim Duncan and hoping some of the slabs I sent to you guys would be back then, some to keep, some to sell/trade :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RKgant Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Seriously... the whole page shows zero shows. Odd to have a webpage devoted to no information, and odd to not be trying to get some exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picklepete Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Yeah.. We pay for your grading service & patiently wait.. but you have to do your part and get people to like/see your product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand not doing on site grading, but at least having a booth for folks to drop off packages to get graded. Maybe offer some daily drawings for free grading, some type of marketing Edited May 21, 2021 by Benny Harris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know for sure how backed up they really are and what kind of hoops (logistics) they would have needed to go through especially since CSG only opened for business in February.

Tony Hull Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Lets not forget CSG is under the Certified Collectables Group (CCG) umbrella, who have been in business for decades (grading currency, coins, comics, non-sports card). I understand that CSG has to stand on its own, but come on throw a bit more money at your new sister company and get them to shows. The more collectors who use CSG now will help solidify CSG as a legit grading resource before PSA and BGS go back to normal. Think BGS, PSA and CSG as the big 3 (I just don't see SGC as building much value to a collection [maybe vintage]). ItismeH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesGrossman Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 No shows...literally just listened to a top podcast raving about how SGC impressed everyone at a big Wisconsin card show. Don't even need to grade, just have a marketing presence. This has got to change. I doubt the marketers/sales teams are grading cards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoore_25 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 This just shows how much they really care about growing their business. I have said elsewhere that I really think CSG was created solely for those people who already submit to CCG for other services. I don't think they really care about obtaining new customers very much. If so, their marketing team needs to be fired. But hey, you can attend their CSG Academy for a "Sports Card Grading Seminar" that is really just a fancy way of saying it's a job fair so they hopefully can hire some more people so they can get the orders that have literally not moved to you one day earlier.

Picklepete Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) 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.

LesGrossman Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Gotta say it again...MARKETING COULD ATTEND THE SHOW. Graders would be great, but there is no reason AT ALL that marketing doesn't have a booth at the national. While we're at it, why don't they have a job fair table set up at National? They are hiring substantially right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picklepete Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 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. From CSG email....

jdmtdcollector Posted June 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 its probably going to be a little higher than their walkthrough from what Im hearing from my LCS's that attends the nationals basing on PSA. They say its not even worth it to fall in line for PSA you'll be paying way lot more than super express unless you're wanting something really $$$$$ graded.
