I spent about $700 to do a dry run with CGS as I was very curious how it comes out. I refrained from sending high end stuff but I did cook up a small mix of cards to sub. I figured where I have spent...

It might be better to get in sooner than later. A LeBron CSG 9.5 recently sold for close to $100,000

Declared value should be a mute point as it can be SUBJECTIVE and not reflective of a healthy market.
