How does CSG compare?

I think the "service not available", accompanied with a refund, is for cards that measure too large or too small but have factory cuts. At least that is what used to be the case.

I had done a small submission when they first started grading and felt the grades were far too tight and two rejected...1 for recoloring and 1 for trimming. In both of those cares the cards had been broken out of SGC holders and were 100% not altered. Both were later submitted to PSA and got graded accurately.
