As to that question, I think Lorewalker is right that part of the answer lies in the set registry, and part in the superb marketing job PSA has done. Part also lies in the outstanding ancillary services like the pop report, and the ability to look up auction prices. Also, cert lookup is an invaluable tool for people who are trying to avoid altered cards.
And this is why SGC fails and IMO will continue to lose people. More concerned about quickly turning modern crap then they are about building the company. Ever since the registry vanished the company has gone down hill. I was a long time SGC man and am no longer.

As to the original question i do not think CSG values are there yet. They have changed they labels 2-3 times which is not good but i think has finally settled as they merge the non sport and sport divisions.
