Dispute with CC. One of the online card shops tried this with me and were going to hold several boxes until some of my pre-sell stuff was ready to ship together. I mentioned the CC agreement was 30 days for items in stock and they shipped immediately. eBay should have the same agreement in order to accept Visa, MC etc.

I’m trying to break down my collection into cards that I want to spent the money on grading and slabbing. Where do you guys get your cards priced at? Beckett is proving to be of no use whatsoever. I’ve got a subscription online and have the app. I’ve tried cards from 1990-2021 and I’ve never found a card nor price!!! What do I do???!!!!

For those wondering about time frame, here's how my order has progressed thus far.:

50 Card Bulk 

Delivered to SGC 04/05/21

Marked as received by SGC 06/04/21

Enters G/E/I stage on 06/18/21

Enters grading/quality control 09/16/21

 

Will update when it moves to stage 437 of the 982 stage process. Turnaround times were projected at 90 business days when they received. It has now been 119 business days. 

 

Don't get your hopes up

That's closer to 74 business days. It's my understanding the date the clock starts is when it is marked received, so the 6/4 date would start the count.

My submission was received the first week of May and it is still not showing up in the system.  For the last week I have been emailing Customer Service and yesterday I even talked to someone on the phone.  Once my submission was shown to have been received, I threw away my USPS tracking number because I didn't think I would need it anymore.  All of the individuals that I have been in contact with want the tracking number.  I have provided a partial tracking number because I sent a second submission from the same post office and it was received in June and shows up in the system.  I'm nearly at my wits' end because my first, and seemingly lost, submission contained my 6 most valuable cards.  There were at the Standard grading level.

Any suggestions?

Just to give you a better idea of where it might be at. My Standard 10 card order was delivered on May 10th (no mailbox, they have a USPS receiving area on site). It was shown as received and entered on 06/23. It was shipped back to me on 07/27.  My next Standard 20 card order was delivered on May 17th. It was shown as received and entered on 9/1 and is currently scheduled for grading.

Seems like forever that they have said they are opening packages from May 3rd.  Any idea what's going on?

I may be mistaken, but sometime that first or second week of May the prices went up. Anything delivered by the deadline got the old pricing. As expected, they probably got crushed by submissions.

Someone was talking about a discussion at the national, saying they talked to a CSG rep who said you can't get a 10 grade with CSG without paying for sub grades. In the same discussion someone else had said they'd subbed a card twice to CSG - a 9 the first time, resubbed and paid for sub grades and got a 10.

Just wondering if it is accurate that a 10 can only be given if sub grades are selected? Thanks 

 

Wasn't this a topic on BOC forum? That place is getting just as bad as some of the Facebook groups.

I downloaded it, but couldn't figure out how to list on it.

Hello, my name is Etienne Rodriguez with how the grading processing works.  For instance,. I send a card thru express thinking a card is a certain amount before grading but even after grading the price falls in a standard payment.  How does this get resorted and is their a price guide from CSG that is standard that can be compared to other guide books like PSA.  Thank you for your answers and even the what to do or be careful responses help!

I think what you're asking is about the declared value of a card?  The price you pay to CSG is based on your tier and any other additional things like subgrades.  The declared value is whatever you can find for comparative sales. I typically take an average of the most recent sales of that particular card. You can also use Beckett price guide I would guess. I'm not sure how often it gets updated, but value tends to flex weekly.

That should tell you something about PSA. The corner has cardboard fingerlings coming off of it and it still gets a 10. PSA gives a 10, even if a card has 60/40 centering.

For real. I wouldn't expect IT, network administration or accounting to be grading cards.

7 cards.  All 03-04 basketball.

Mine was delivered May 10th and entered on June 23. It took another month before it shipped back to me.

My "standard" order, which was delivered 4/29 finally moved to "Scheduled for Grading" 7/21.  Has been there since.  Over 70 business days.  When I sent them the Turn Around Time for standard was 30 business days.  I'm over the 72 business days stated in the current turn around times...which I'm sure will go up Monday to 77.

How many cards in your standard order? Mine was 8 cards total, all 2018-2020 chrome autos.

Can anyone tell me why one of my orders would not be showing up in the system.  I sent in in early April and then two other times but the first one does not show in my submission tracking.

Is it over 90 days? I think you might have to enter your submission number in the search box if it's over 90 days.

Make sure you talk with accounting and that your invoice is paid...regardless of whether you have a credit card on file.    It always seems to hang up for some reason.

Definitely this. I didn't have one on file for my first order and realized that on the submission form, the CC was starred out except the last 4 digits. I was able to email accounting and get it straight.

Second order for PC was sent standard with subs. Arrived May 10th and was received back July 29th. That's 56 working days and 81 calendar days (3 holidays). When they arrived, standard was 47 days. Not bad considering the explosion in submissions.

Really wish they would put the serial number on the label like sgc does. I did put that in the submission but they must not do that.

Serial number and QR code are on the back.

Warner85 I have called multiple times with no return call or customer service. I received an invoice for my order it appears they haven't passed on my credit card info for payment as well. I am deeply concerned at this point that they are keeping my cards. 

On my first order, I received an invoice via email. I wrote back to the woman who sent the email and provided her my CC and it was processed that day. I didn't look at my original copy I sent very closely, but I realized the CC number was starred out... which makes sense. After that, they were graded and shipped.

I don't actually find them in the Kroger stores, but they may get them online. It's usually low level Topps like opening or heritage hangers similar to Target.

Kroger's cards are on their marketplace. They are usually sold by a 3rd party who got them from Walmart.

i contacted them prior to sending in a auto and was told they would cause it came out of a complete set and they lied and didnt grade it and sent it back damaged and all they are do now is passing me around like a joint to different ppl and wont take responsibility for it 

How did it get damaged? Do you have a before and after pic? This has always concerned me when sending in cards.

Hi I'm new to CS G and I was wondering if anybody else was having difficulties with the online submission form if so and you figure it out an easy way to input the cards I'd like to know thank you

When I was doing a bulk order, I had a few hiccups after a certain number of cards and had to close the browser. My submission form picked up where I left off. There is no easy way to input cards or shortcuts that I know of. I do know when doing some parallels/#'d cards of the same player, a lot of the stuff was easier to re-populate.

My standard order that was delivered to CSG on May 10th, has been placed into 'receive' status as of today. So, I assume the 47 day window starts now?

PSA is still 2 months backed up on Express, 4 months on Regular and 9 months on Economy & Value. We'll see if they make it up by July, with 10 business days left in June.

What is up with all these crack head prices? Thats like a $1 card 

130pt shows raw sales between $3 and $15. Today a PSA 10 went for $230 and the PSA 9 went for $39. SGC 9 went for $34.

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I was simply reaching out to those on the boards who may have had a similar issue in the past either with or without CSG. Not that you care, but since you’re here, the cards arrived after randomly bouncing back and forth between 2 post offices in different towns. 

Registered mail has control logs and goes human-to-human. It's possible the package had to go back to a PO so the control log could be signed by anyone who touched the registered mail. It's also possible the one PO didn't have a secure safe so it was forwarded to the other PO.
