PSA actually has a consultant for Japanese cards and they never upcharge for doing research.
I sent some UD Tiger Woods golf cards to CSG and were told after they returned them to me that they were a bit oversized and they are waiting for slightly larger holders. I've read the same thing happened to other people as well.

I always let out a groan when I see a grading company mention a "research fee".
That should be part of expanding your own knowledge base as a grading company. That's what you freakin' do. Authenticate cards.
R&D should be built into the already existing price structure.
As far as CSG, I was cheerleading them at first, but how do you open a business like this, and not have access to anything other then a perfectly sized standard holder.
The way it's going over there, by the time they have holders big enough for Upper Deck Tiger Woods and Ken Griffey Jr. cards, they'll have a year long wait over there to.
