CSG status

I like them. I have one card so far graded by CSG. I don’t care if auction houses use them.

Are the cards real? Are there hidden blemishes or alterations. I trust CSG to help me with that.

PSA grading trimmed cards since day one, slow turn time, and expense turns me away from them.

I don't have any cards currently holdered by CSG, but I wouldn't have any problems buying cards in that holder (preferably the newer black label). I trust the graders there.

Saying that, I think that they need to expand beyond just the standard card size to at least go into the larger postcard sized holders. They should also partner with ebay to add to the Authentication Guarantee program. Something like if they authenticate the card for ebay, while they still have the card, they can also holder it for you for an extra fee (tier depending on the ebay sale price of the card). I think a lot of people would go for that, especially if this saves on the shipping price to/from for the card. Personally, I would definitely do that if the fee/turnaround time were reasonable. (e.g., $20-30 per card for a 2-3 week turnaround)
