CSG Card Grading Comp - 1st card on Ebay???

[D. Bergin]

Looks like this seller from Florida has a bunch of CSG graded cards up for auction now.

Looks like all super-modern stuff, so no idea how it would compare price-wise to the other TPG's.

Gotta say, their plastic slabs are very optically clear and nice looking.

Don't work there, won't be sending them any of my cards, but I sure am partial to optically clear plastic.

I've bought all kinds of plastic polishes for my slabs because hazy ones really do detract from the experience of looking at the cardboard.
Haven't really fallen for any of them, and nervous to use the ones meant for car lens cleaning.
The slab is like a window to the soul for the neat freak, and a super clean one is just yummy.

I had seen these slabs before and thus made my comment before clicking your link. I have to admit the Herbert card doesn't look bad. The label itself is actually really clean... it just needs to be much, much smaller.

I think the overwhelming consensus from the other thread is that they did a bad job on these slabs

For those who want to follow along, I bought this exact card in PSA 9 on January 27 for 21.50. It's already at 32.00 with 16+ hours to go. I only have a couple soccer cards and the PSA 9 is my only graded soccer card. It's a near identical comp although of course there are a few differences, timing, seller, etc.

Edited to say it's not "literally" the same card but a recent "same" card.

The centering there seems pretty iffy for a 9.5

Thanks for the recommedation!

Is this a wipe on, let it dry, wipe off product, or do you buff with padded wheel?

Kit comes with cleaning cloths....

Can be a 1 or 2 or 3 step process depending on the condition of the slab...
