Cardsharp1 Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 what i am trying to figure out is why grading companies cant hire and train more graders to meet demand. i dont think being a grader requires a 4 year college degree. seems like you could learn the ropes in about 1 8 hour day.

Biggest problem with CSG right now is that they had insanely low bulk pricing to start, and they were quickly flooded with junk cards. Now that those cards are back and in the market, so the market is primarily junk. For instance I keep an eye out for Ronald Acuna cards on eBay, and so many of the cards that have been hitting have been base 2020, 2021, and Topps Now cards - all cards that are super cheap and super common. Hell there's a Donruss 2021 Unleashed card in a CSG 9 listed for $80! That card is barely worth $1 raw. That's not to say there aren't awesome cards in CSG cases out there, it's just that they are currently overshadowed by the junk. Once that starts to even out I think you'll see perception in the market change. In my opinion a fast way to make that happen is to stop offering bulk prices without sub-grades. If the minimum price to grade was $22 you'd stop a lot of the $1 cards from being submitted. bball8418 and micky 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
