@CGC MikeSo i just received back my submission and it included the 2 metal cards.  I got the dreaded "brittle ink" designation even though CGC has graded hundreds of these.

Did i get that designation because the encapsulation is not ready yet and can i resubmit? Or does that mean the won't encapsulate no matter what.

Just checking.  Thanks for your help.

Customer service ran my card and moved my job to shipping.  They said they are just really backed up with running cards and the account was fine.  Just an FYI for other folks stuck in the quality control area.

@CGC MikeSo my cards officially shipped, and obviously my 2 metal cards were not graded.  Does that mean they are getting sent back to me?  It appears i was charged for all 10 cards.  Just curious as nothing on my submission says anything about them.

There is an accounting hold on this submission.  You will have to contact accounting before we can ship the submission to you.

Thanks @CGC Mike

How did shipping go with this?  Have we gotten approval to start grading these again?

Any chance you could see if submission #4131549 has accounting issues.  Cards have been stuck in quality control for a week.

Thanks @CGC Mike

We will NC metal cards that have brittle ink on them that will fall off in the holder. This is more common than you'd think. 

On a side note, the team is literally working on finalizing a solution to encapsulate metal cards as we speak.  

Whats the word?  did you find a solution? Thanks for time

I saw a post 2 days ago saying they had new slabs in hand and were testing.  Curious if those are approved and if they will start slabbing those metal cards again.
