Any idea how many pixels that would be. :D

(your welcome) :)

For those interested , I have a order that was "received " ( around 8 days after arrived) 3/4/21 and has yet to be graded.To be fair it is an economy order. However , That was early on, so I would not think that it would have been backed up at that point. I called CSG 5/17/21 and the lady said should be shipped by 6/17/21, but nothing as of yet.

They definitely got buried after (and even before) the PSA and SGC shutdowns. I shipped a modern-ish oddball test lot of 19 multi-sport cards to them on March 11th, they marked as received on April 14th, and has been in "Scheduled For Grading" limbo for a couple weeks now.

I think they jumped in the game either two months too early, or two months too late....depends on how you look at it. They certainly weren't prepared for the volume, or have suitable accounting practices in place to keep people up to date on where their cards were

Unfortunately I don't see much of an alternative on those types of cards I sent in. PSA is out for the foreseeable future, and $30 bucks + a possible research charge, from SGC, for modern oddball stuff they don't have a very good track record with, doesn't really make any economic sense either.

These cards won't make or break me either way, but I had to satisfy my curiosity with this newer company.

CCG including CSG and the rest of their grading brands, sold to The Blackstone Group.

Whatever that means long term, I have no idea.

Just got my first CSG submission back. Decided to send an assortment of cards, none too valuable, to check it out (this was at $8/card, I think, or something like that). The new cards came back much as expected, 9s and 9.5s.

I'm still trying to figure out how they arrive at grades for vintage cards. For the most part, I agree with their sub-grades but then the final grade puzzles me.

A few examples from this submission:

(card, final grade, sub-grades: centering, corners, edges, surface)

1956 Topps Yogi Berra, 3.0: 8.0, 5.5, 7.0, 2.5
1977-78 Topps David Thompson, 5.5: 5.0, 8.5, 8.5, 6.5
1952 Bob Feller, 2.5: 8.0, 2.5, 4.5, 2.5
1981 Donruss Jack Nicklaus, 5.5: 8.0, 6.0, 8.5, 5.0

Just puzzling (to me)....

Horrible holders I would never buy that garbage sorry

I think it follows the Beckett formula. The card's grade can be no higher than a half grade above the lowest grade. In the one card that had two subs tied for the lowest grade, they just went with that number.

The general rule is the total grade can only be .5 higher than the lowest subgrade. There are exceptions but they are rare and when the other subgrades are all significantly higher, and usually consistent to each other

EDIT: What Bobby said.

Thanks, guys. That makes sense.
