That was not the "finished product" for CSG. There is a nearly identical video of Scott A. breaking open PSA cases by hand, with relative ease. Both CSG and PSA have subsequently made it far tougher to open the slabs without breaking them.

I plan on sending 20 cards to CSG by next week. I'll send one that I plan on trying to crack open and report how I did. I'm really hoping the CSG and HGA are the real deal. I love BGS and PSA but welcome some competition (we all should).

Dan - I would love to see the results of your crack test. I would love to hear how easy (or not) it is from someone I trust. No offense to others on this forum or for those who have heard from the owner or those who anonymously responded on YouTube. A true test from a rookie card collecting Net54 legend would be welcomed by all, well, at least by me!

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. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2020-Panini...EAAOSwDVBgP88I |

Dan, now that is clear that you have a personal issue with SGC, can you share what exactly that is? Do you believe HGA and CSG will have the same resale value of PSA?

Makes sense that it's a comic book store from Florida first to market. They're local and already have a relationship with CGC/CSG

$510. Is that good?

and then CSG says that this is "1st Card Graded" - Lebron Refractor Rookie
I think it's only natural that PWCC would own it (at the moment) https://www.ebay.com/itm/2003-Topps-...5/224370194054

No, I don't have a personal issue with SGC. I stated in a recent post that SGC is the place to go for pre-war. I believe their prices are comparable and sometimes even better than PSA for pre-war cards. Below are my observations and opinions about SGC. 1. Their slab is unacceptable. It is incredibly easy to open and if careful, I believe someone could open it without any scratches. This means that someone could easily insert a fake or lower graded card and resell it. See my attached picture of a card I recently broke out. 2. I would not even consider using them for post-war and absolutely not for modern. I am using PSA and Beckett for modern and will be trying CSG and HGA (didn't win the lottery last week). No one knows how HGA and CSG will hold up vs. PSA. So far I see that they are doing quite well but only time will tell if that will continue. Take care!

Thanks, I actually was not aware of this. I will definitely make sure to carefully examine the card when buying graded. And stick to reputable sellers.

Well, after sending in my very 1st PSA Card grading submission (8 cards Express) the day before they doubled their prices (my first card submission ever), I decided to give CSG a try.
Just sent out 19 cards ($15 level). Mostly oddball and odd-sized multi-sport foreign issue stuff from the 70's-90's. Not a standard sized card in the bunch. Should be real annoying for them. We'll see how it goes. |

Here you go, incredibly easy. One little slip with a very small screwdriver and the case came apart. I showed it to two people in person and both could not tell where I opened it. If you really looked closely you can tell, but how many people examine every slab (I do)?

I can assure you that they can be put back together without obvious signs. I received a rare Johnny Bench card I bought and when it arrived in the SGC holder it all but came apart without me even trying to open it. It was a hard to find card so I did not return and subbed it to SGC again (PSA no longer grades this card). I was shocked at how clean the slab had come apart. I could put it back together and you could not tell.
