According to the website the serial number and QR code will be on the reverse.

You can also get high resolution scans of the submission in a the holder emailed to you for record keeping...for a small fee.

The holder looks to dam tall. Probably need a whole different set of sleeves for them. Not to mention they will not fit in my graded card cases.

I hope they do well. Competition is a good thing and certainly needed in the card grading field. That being said, it's a hard pass for me. I'm happy with my grading company, except for the turnaround times. I think that's a problem that afflicts all of them - and will with this new one too if they are accepted and take off. Besides, I could never get used to that holder. I wish them the best of luck, though.

I hope they can make a dent in the market share. Competition is always welcome. And seems like they will be on the cutting edge of card grading (although PSA/SGC/BGS may use the same methods. I honestly don't know).

I would certainly be willing to send in a few PC cards to start. Am interested to see how the values pan out in the secondary market before I'd be willing to send in stuff that I would be looking to sell. My only gripe is that they've got to fix that slab. The label is far too busy and too big, in my opinion.

Most interesting from the above offering from CSG to me is the card given as example...

If that is 7.5 centering we are looking at pretty high tolerances for off centering.

[BobbyStrawberry]

Looks like the slab will be much taller than other companies' slabs. I'm not a huge fan of that idea.

Sounds like the technology is top shelf, I think they missed it on the esthetics of design for a pre-war card slab. The label looks a bit smaller that the size of a T206 and quite overpowering. Probably works great for the modern stuff though. Personal preference, the best flip for pre-war is the old SGC green label.
