Wish it was red, but it's actually orange. All of these were from Matt's group breaks, but the gold and orange were actually in the same box. Crazy.

Nothing as crazy as what you guys are showing off, but I was very happy to get this back from PSA yesterday.

My first F1 card, can’t decide if I want to BGS it or PSA it.

A present/future iconic card…congrats! The main drivers are so tough to pull from cases. How’s the back look? Does it have the roller lines?

Yeah, I went ahead and purchased this at the CSA show in Dulles, VA this weekend. Here's a pic of the back. Like most numbered cards, the edges kinda ehhhh on the left.

These look slick in CSG slabs. Have a bunch of F1 chrome coming back from CSG soon too. And congrats on the Lewis Red yourself, 1 of 4 and a gem mint to boot!

What was your experience with CSG and the quality of their slabs? I was debating submitting some with them since I love CGC for comics, but like the overall look of SGC slabs more.

Quality is great. It’s kind of a hybrid between PSA and BGS. Durability of BGS but the thinner profile of a PSA case.

It’s a miniature CGC case basically. Very nice.

Thanks for this info! I was also playing with the idea of having my F1 cards sent to CSG. Content creators usually bash CSG but I kind of like it. I like how clear the plastic looks combined with the slimmer design of PSA. I do agree that having no sub grades makes the label look a bit blank, though.

You have quite good grades on your cards! Did you find that you had to really pick and choose the best ones from your collection? I ask this because I have been seeing almost all PSA 8s for the parallels on ebay. I have also been buying singles mostly and I haven't seen a card that I think can grade higher than a 9.

Thanks. Yes, from what I’ve observed, the 70th parallels since they aren’t numbered seem to be a bit better edge wise.

Also, it seems like CSG is considering the edge issue either a mix of surface and edge issue. So, the cards are getting lower subs on those but the corners and centering on most are really good.

PSA might be considering the edge issue the main component for a 7 or 8 rather than 1/4 of the overall grade. Also the ones I’ve shown have very minor issues, barely visible.

Love the CSG slabs! I also sent my Lando Orange Wave to CSG (via bulk though). This gives me hope on a better grade now, due to the back edge defect.

Sent these 2 in via Express to CSG. Hoping to get them back next week.

Awesome card! A base orange went for over 220 last night. His stuff is beginning to move a la prospector style.
