CGC Grading at the National

One angle that doesn't seem to be considered as much when comparing values of CSG/CGC to PSA is that, for vintage cards (in my opinion and limited experience), you are more likely to get a higher numeric grade from CGC.

So, to buy or sell an identical quality card you should maybe compare the price of a PSA 6 versus a CGC 7...etc. Then you might see some more favorable/equivalent sales comparisons.

And I don't have indisputable evidence that CGC generally grades vintage easier, just a lazy conclusion that I've drawn from casual observation.

Not sure about the. The Head graders at CSG are from Beckett and are well known graders, so I would be surprised if there is that type of a grade disparity. I think the grades are generally find, just the holders and flips that are the problem.

People use SGC cause they are quick and cheap and they can't or won't tie up inventory waiting for PSA. CSG is also quick and cheap atm so at least it's another option.

.. I haven't read any complaints lately about waiting for submissions to be returned from all the big grading companies ?
Are there still unreasonable backlogs at P S A and B G S ? --- S G C seems to be praised here a lot for " fast turnarounds" Has anyone in here recently done any normal old-fashioned submissions from their local P.O. to California and Texas ? Thanks
