Not that one card can put a grading company on the map but if this one did open eyes to CSG's legitimacy then it would be reasonable to expect more CSG presence in catalog auctions...maybe not for commons but certainly for star cards.

Up until now I do not see any auction houses sending material out to CSG for grading. People rather support two clearly compromised grading services because it is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.

I understand what you’re saying I feel you. I will say, however I think there was some comfort level to the bidders in knowing that this was in a PSA 7.5 holder prior.

If it makes you feel any better, I think our friends at PWCC have an arrangement to get pieces graded with CSG.

Ya had to remind me? Well I will not hold that against CSG. But let's keep this between us for now, if ya don't mind.

PWCC also has a special price for grading with SGC through them. I wonder why if they already had a deal with CSG??

Anybody else find SCP's website to be annoying? That stupid giant Blue bar across the top takes up most of the viewing page.

Strong price either way.

I would have kept it as the 7.5 and would not have regraded with another company

But it worked out for the seller
