The TAT will be off, but my grades were in within the 7 day timeframe. Has there not been an ongoing update to their site I am positive they would have hit their numbers. Cannot ship cards with them being paid for.
Mine went via MO for some reason they could not process my card for the sub. Have seen others having similar issues so I went ahead and used a MO hoping to get in before the update did not make it.

My CC has been charged, so that is not the problem. Their update promise of 03/07 was not fulfilled. I have no clue. I am sure things will populate, but I can also see their excuse being we are with img the timeframe for turnaround, NOT, because they marked received on 03/07 instead of the day they actually arrived.

Dropping my 25-card bulk order at the post office in a few. I only have baseball this time and I only have cards from a 1952 Topps Enos Slaughter to a 2020 Topps Chrome Zac Gallen auto Green Refractor /99. My least varying order to this date with cards only from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and ultra-modern.

In my opinion if CSG wants to have a grading deal in place like this, they need to do a better job of looking at the cards. You bought a card that was not as described and CSG's grade reflects that. If COMC wants to offer this service, they better be ready for lots of issues like this.
Thank you very much for pointing out the Buyer's Guarantee. COMC refunded me the purchase price of the card and the CSG grading fee, so all is well.

We will see lots of lower grade modern being sold on COMC by their buyback accounts.

If you submit to COMC, they will be looking more closely at cards and giving EX-NM on a lot more modern stuff, which will be a death sentence for trying to sell those types of cards.

Was that the one you had stuck in "Finalized" for a while?

Yes they do....BUT...they seemed to have increased the use of the cheesy opaque sleeves when they encapsulate cards. Destroys the best case use to their great slabs.

Yes, but still no images of the cards. The 8 was my RPA Premier Acetate card, always a tough surface grade on these.

It is not even close. People hate on CSG, but if you have. PC and want the clearest slabs they are the best.

Glad to have this back in hand and the clarity of the slab makes it better. For those wondering, PSA has graded 3 /99 versions, mine is 97/99. Their grades ar PSA 8; PSA 7; PSA 7! Acetate cards are tough.

Did you ask them to put "Jersey Number" on the back or did they do that themselves?

I asked for that. That is fire. I wish they had put 97/99 on the front

okay, help a newbie out...

When putting the card in the card saver, do you then put a little piece of tape so it can't fall out?

Planning on dropping off to CSG at a show tomorrow...

Don't worry about the card falling out of the Card Saver. This is only an issue for top loaders.

I had hit this card on epack and decided to use COMC service for grading with CSG. I just happened to check my account because of the post above me. I would have thought they would email me or something when the card was back in my account...nevertheless, not a huge card, but am quite happy...not sure why the autos got a 9, but oh well
