CSA Grading

CSA Grading
Great price on a card graded by them, assuming the grade is close. It is graded an 8.5 by them and I would be very happy if I could cross it over to SGC and get a 7. Just wondering if anyone had ever bought anything graded by them or knew someone who did and what kind of experience they had.

RE: CSA Grading
Is that the Csa based out of British Columbia? The only Canadian grading company I trust is KSA. I'm not huge on graded cards but they, in my opinion would be the number four company after the big three.

RE: CSA Grading
Checked their website and it says they are the second oldest grading company and they are based in New York.

RE: CSA Grading
Regardless of how accurate CSA may be, there is still a significant difference in value. As I am a curious person, I looked up CSA grading on eBay and found that there was a 1960 Topps Mantle graded CSA 5.5 that sold for $119.99 and a PSA 5 sold for $255 and $269. There was also a 1966 Philadelphia Gale Sayers CSA 8 that sold for $119.99 and two PSA 8's that sold for over $500. To each their own with who they choose for grading and whether or not it is to actualize profit/value or just to slab/protect and display your cards. The only graded cards I own are a 1933 Sanella Babe Ruth, 1951 Berk Ross Joe DiMaggio, 1958 Topps Mickey Mantle, and a 1963 Topps Pete Rose only for authenticity purposes due to heavy counterfeiting of those cards. If I ever do get a card graded in the future it would be with Beckett or PSA due to collector reputation and if I ever did decide to sell they would actualize more value from a historical perspective.
