In hand CSG slab review and comparison - Page 6

Bulk is going to $12 effective next week, $250 DV cap. Bulk on the CGC side is actually going to $15.

These actually look really great in person and the crystal clear slabs is beautiful. The only thing that's annoying is the huge empty/negative space that's left when you don't get sub grades. I think if you add the barcode and number to the front instead of the back for non-subgraded cards, everything just fills up nicely.

Just got my first CSG slab in hand (Herbert Optic Holo CSG 9) - my goodness. These slabs are awesome. Easily takes the top spot ahead of HGA, PSA, BGS, and SGC (in that order). Super clear and compact. I agree the label doesn't look big at all in hand - there's just way less plastic space overall so you notice the card and size of the entire slab (smaller than PSA) way more than the label.

If you want to see my actual card - they have photos of it on the cert page (which has to be one of the biggest selling points): https://www.csgcards.com/certlookup/1001489002/

I like the CSG and all my future stuff is headed their way... PSA not adjusting to supply side economics fast enough along with ridiculous price increases permanently has changed their SAM from the TAM... this is good for the market...

I just hope to be able to see one for myself, whenever they get me in the system.

Agreed. This feature is freaking awesome. Pics of the front and back of every single card on their site.

Any new thoughts on the slabs now that more time as passed?
