Flat rate grading and ease of submission = good moves
Partnership with PWCC = bad move
I can see why they did it, as it will result in many more graded cards residing in CSG slabs (instigating what they hope will be increased awareness and ultimately greater market acceptance).
They obviously picked an awful company to partner with in terms of ethics. But if the last 3 years had revealed anything, it’s that the vast majority of collectors don’t know about and/or care about the alteration scandal.
So this move will likely help with CSG’s objective to grow market share. Also note that well over 90% of the proven altered cards sold by PWCC resided in PSA Holders. Seems like that fact did nothing at all to dissuade collectors from using or buying PSA product. In that regard, I can understand why Bob calls out hypocrisy in many of the subsequent posts.
