Default Should be interesting CSG 52 Topps Mays

Should be fun to seeing what the masses think about this . https://www.ebay.com/itm/393197705007

Yikes. That combo of card condition and holder is not appealing to the eye in any way

I'll leave the obvious comments to others, but the taller slip and slab are so confounding to me. It's so reminiscent of why 1989 Bowmans flopped.

Default Wowser...

It's overgraded by at least +3.

Peace, Mike

I am simply astounded by the number of people selling expensive cards on eBay who haven't bothered to spend a hundred bucks on a decent flatbed scanner. Memo to seller; blurry, flash-obscured photos do not sell expensive cards.

+1 I can't believe how many four figure cards I see with crappy images and little to no description.

And then throw in that particular shade of red cloth as a background.

Gotta be honest, those slabs are just plain bad.

Opportunities to compete on sleekness and eye appeal are one of the few advantages an upstart has versus the hobby incumbents. Very surprising to see the initial design here (and I’m actually rooting for CGS).

I bought a CSG card, 2020 Panini LaMelo Bell, and got it yesterday. I think the holder looks great, very clear case that makes the card sparkle.

The holder is the same size as PSA, in fact I can stack them with PSA.

The card was overgraded though, it was graded a 9 but one top corner shows wear and a bottom corner had a bit of the surface paper on the back folded over.

In CSG's defense while the 52 is overgraded they also did a 72 and a 61 Mays (on ebay now) and those look properly graded
