Actually, and this has nothing to do with liking or disliking CSG or any other TPG, a flat rate grading fee on all cards, across all genres, is exactly what all TPGs should be offering, and only should be offering. Anything else where they charge more based on a card's value implies an intrinsic bias and conflict of interest on the part of the grading company providing such services and their opinion.
Now if they charge more for certain items because they are larger than regular cards and the additional fee is to cover the added cost of a larger or specialized holder, that is different. Otherwise, you should expect the exact same level of service, treatment, and grading for all cards submitted. In other words, they should treat and handle the grading of a 1989 Topps Gregg Jefferies rookie exactly the same as they would for a 1952 Topps Mantle card. And if they handle, treat, and grade them both the same, the service should be priced EXACTLY THE SAME AS WELL!
