Thank you! I genuinely appreciate. I’m a casual collector. Most of my cards are in SGC cases. CGC has me intrigued because of the lower price point, though. Im trying to pay attention to their...

CGC at the National

I couldn’t make the National this year. If anyone was there, I’m curious what the presence of and response to CGC was? Specifically in the sports card realm. Thanks!

Just submit it for a re-grade with minimum grade of what you already have. At worst, you get a new slab with your current grade. At best, you could get a grade bump. Especially if you'r current grade...

Future Low Cost Grading

It's quite the pickle. Lots of people say they wish another grader would generate the ROI that PSA does. In the very next breath, they say they will only submit to PSA.

Can't help you on that one. Totally subjective (I think they're the best looking slabs out there). I personally wish their re-sale was even close to comparable. Unfortunately, they're not.

It would deter me.

I pay when they pop. A week later, I’m already making my money back when I sell. If it’s 9 months before I see my $ return, that will change my decision making.
