Gottsword Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) I was curious how the sell values are looking for those who have already sold CGC slabs. I have about 400 cards I plan on having grades some bulk some not with subs. Kobe rookies, Shaq rookies, various Jordan cards, 90s football and baseball star players as well like Jeter and Chipper Jones. Majority were pack fresh to holders. Plan to possibly try some with pwcc marketplace auctions. this will be my first time grading cards... but all my research definitely shows PSA the current clear leader for value... was also thinking maybe will have to hold on to CSG for values being sold at to catch more wind. appreciate anyone’s feedback I do love the CSG slabs I’ve seen with subgrades..

ItismeH Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Definitely choose whatever company, service level or slabs you like most. I recently bought a LeBron card in a CSG slab and it is definitely beautiful and sturdy. I'm in the process of hopefully getting my Jordan RC in a CSG slab. Of course only time will tell how CSG slabs fair in the secondary market. Good luck! Edited March 26, 2021 by ItismeHerb typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PunsRTonsOfFun Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I wouldn't worry about this. There's a lot of hype around a certain grading company right now, but at some point, collectors will wake up and realize the condition of the card is what matters, not the slab the card is in. Right now, the only cards I'm buying are CSG or SGC 9.5s and 10s. They sell for 75% less than a PSA 10 and I know I'm getting the same card in better condition. Can't help but think many in the hobby have lost their minds or, at the very least, are acting in a very short sighted manner.

Gottsword Posted March 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 That's what I'm hoping as well. I'm thinking a CSG that grades well with sub-grades should be dang obvious the card is in good shape. I'll have over 100 Michael Jordan cards graded after all this is said and done, it will be interesting to be what looks like one of the first of many of these cards to be in CSG slabs. Thanks for the feedback.. PunsRTonsOfFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDarkseid1 Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 CSG sales have already been solid. I don't think it will take too long before CSG graded cards are almost on par with PSA and BGS. PunsRTonsOfFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Amundson Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 What’s your feeling on selling CSG slabs right now? I got two Kobe Topps RC back graded 9.5, but interest on eBay seemed sluggish so I pulled the one I was trying to sell for now. Got asked why I didn’t use PSA. Think it would be wise to hold on for a bit and see if interest in CSG increases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think (hope) people are going to wise up and realize there's no reason PSA should be the industry standard. It's going to be difficult for them to expand their team significantly without a drop in quality. This is something they can't afford as they're already seen as the easiest and most lax of the major grading companies (which is why they receive the volume they do). They have also been front and center for every major grading scandal. People asking why you didn't use PSA are only showing their inexperience and lack of knowledge in the hobby. At some point, the actual condition of the card is going to matter, which is why I'm focusing on CSG and SGC.

Jeremy Amundson Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Me too. I liked that my cards were turned around so fast, and really like the look of them. I have some more cards I’d like to do, but am a little scared of the perceived value if I did want to sell them PunsRTonsOfFun and IconsOfKansasCitySports 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion to you is list the card for what you want it to sale for as a"buy now " or best offer listing. Some may try to offer you way less, just stick to the price you want it to sale for, eventually it will sell. Especially has hi HOF induction gets closer.

If you are in the business of selling cards then times couldn't be any better to get graded with CSG. Sure the resale value will be slightly higher with PSA but right now time is the most important factor. Can a seller wait over 1 year to get their cards back? I just submitted a large lot and by the time they are done, CSG cards will be all over the ecommerce sites for at least 4 months. So far I am pleased with sales results from EBay.

KBost33 Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Anyone sell online in Facebook groups? I have my own breaking page, but I am on about 10-15 sites. Haven't seen too many CSG cards popping up yet in the rooms. I hope they do well. I do a bulk of my selling in the rooms on facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post musakk Posted April 1, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 CSG is part of a much larger company that has a strong reputation in other collectibles. I know in the coin world, their sister organization (NGC) is considered one of the grading companies that is well respected. When choosing an alternative to PSA, the years of experience and established reputation in coin grading drew me to CSG. The market will follow. Personally, I'm not concerned about the resale value being compromised because they are not PSA. However, I keep crow at a low simmer in my crock pot, just in case I need to eat it...

This is also why I was intrigued and gravitated toward CSG. Their parent company is already the industry standard in coins and comics. I’m pretty confident they’re going to add sports cards to that list in due time. Every CSG review I’ve seen so far seems to indicate they’re the new standard for tough grading. Eventually, the actual condition of the card and not the grading label is going to matter. Bigphish55 and ItismeH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a LOT of allegations against them and they are currently embroiled in PSA & BGS's FBI investigation for corruption. For me a couple of extra dollars isn't worth it to me to use a company that employs card doctors, been accused of card swapping and forging autographs. Let's not even talk about having PSA on their payroll to get inordinate amounts of 10 GEM MINTS. PunsRTonsOfFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
