Excited for CCG (CSG)?

the slabs are horrific. I cannot believe this is what they ended up with - aesthetics are the easiest part of the equation. But it's still better than PSA slabs where the area around the card wrinkles up.

Agreed. Keep it simple and tasteful - dare I say timeless? This already looks dated.

Hi and Happy Thanksgiving to all- I'm happy to submit a few "test" examples to see how they do. If they are accurate and timely then they will get more of my cards. There's no way to be worse than PSA, so they have that going for them My two cents...Trent King

I actually like these slabs. Very clean.

If people are still collecting flips/holders, and not really concerned with the cards, this company will do just fine.

I like them as well. To each their own, but I swear we as collectors complain about the smallest things sometimes.

If a card is authenticated both correctly and in a timely fashion that is what's most important to me.

Bottom line will be this....if the slabs sell strong they will be popular and do well. If not they will get hated on and complained about. Timely is nice but most don’t care other then resale value being strong.

I wish them well and am looking forward to seeing their slabbed cards in person.

Even though I dislike the aesthetics and larger size of the slab/flip...

If they can get the cards to sit in there straight (and not tilted, or utilizing a horrific ugly baggie) they are still better looking than PSA.

I will give them a shot for some of my larger cards (1952 Topps/1953 Bowman). For the smaller Tobacco and Caramel Cards, I'm afraid the flip is far too big in relation to the card itself, and will thus present rather poorly.

The slab has decent eye appeal. I love that there is another option but this just seems like Beckett all over again, does it not? I think the most important aspect in a grading co is not what the holder looks like but who is grading the stuff we send in. I have never bought a Beckett graded card nor sent one to them for grading so...
