CCIC grading in China

I recently started collecting CCIC slabs but have found little information about the details of the grading company, i’m creating this topic so if you have knowledge from mainland china please share it !

It started with me buying a gem mint 10 CCIC slab (not the gold perfect grade, but the blue one) to see if i could cross grade it to PSA. There are numerous grading compagnies in China but i figured this is the main and more serious one. Upon receiving it I was shocked at how much better was the slab quality and transparency compared to the PSA one. I only collected PSA until now and it never bothered me that the slab was such low quality since it was all i’ve known. I only collect japanese but recently decided to also collect simplified chinese card, and so i will collect them in the gold CCIC10 grade (that goes around 30% more than the equivalent PSA10 on chinese market, since i think most chinese people realise that it is the better product for their evergrowing huge market)

Does other people have experience with CCIC, grading process, grading standards, prices, how to check the identification number, etc ?
