An underrated value play right now might be to buy SGC and CSG 9.5s with the intention of cracking them and sending to PSA when prices drop. If you can get an SGC 9.5 for less than what a PSA 9 sells for, you have a decent shot of actually getting a PSA 10. At worst, if you end up with a PSA 9 you break even. Doing this to scale could be quite profitable, assuming PSA eventually opens up a lower service level where it makes sense.
CSG and SGC both have tough grading standards, from what I've seen, so you are basically getting a pre-screening opinion of the card before you send to PSA. Given SGC's troubles with re-sale on ebay, there are lots of bargains out there to grab.
