Great. Thank you for the follow up Kailee. I will look to include them in the next order that I send in. Thank you again for looking into this and the reply

Hello Admins, Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question/request. If not please move to appropriate forum. I would like to put in a feature request that would allow us collector's to add notes to cards within our inventory. The ability to add a single line of notes would allow collector's to add details to cards within their collections that are otherwise not included on the CGC labels. For example, numbered cards. A cards numbering is not always distinctly visible from a card's image in the registry so it would be nice to have the ability to add a note indicating that a card is # out of #. Or for collector's that are OCD like myself and have large collections, having the ability to add a note of where a card is stored may help. Notes can start off as private (for the collector only) and then at some point have the ability to be public (if there is a want for public notes in the collecting community). Just a thought. Thanks for listening!

*Bump* Anyone from CGC able to notify me if these cards would be graded if submitted? I don't see them on the "Not Graded" list but concerned since they are metal whether or not they can be encased. The cards in particular are: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/92685/1996-Upper-Deck-Michael-Jordan-Metal Thank you.

Hello CGC Moderators/Admins, Curious to know if CGC currently grades the 1996 Upper Deck All Metal Michael Jordan card sets that come in the tin containers. Thanks!

SC, to answer your question, if you try the cert lookup tool it tells you that the feature is currently unavailable. Been like that since yesterday as far as I can tell also. If you wish to try, here is a card I was trying to add 1401017189170

I have experienced the same scenario. It has been like this since yesterday. I had tried to add some sports cards and I received the same error. The one card that I did not receive the error on was one I had purchased from another registry member. For that card I received the "this belongs to another member, do you still wish to add.." type message.

Hello Maribeth, Please take no offense (you have always been great and helpful and are one of the few shining stars at CGC) but this is truly annoying. This is not the first time that I have received cards back that have supposedly gone through Quality Assurance checks to then have to send the card back because of an incorrect label. It happened not long ago to a Dan Marino and a 1910 boxing card I sent in that were incorrectly labeled. To make matters worse I have had (3) cards from my personal collection damaged by CGC, (1) that was sent in for grading and TWO that were sent in to reholder (should have just left them alone). What is happening to CGC Quality Assurance? I don't understand and I see that I'm not the only one this is happening to as the forums have several other instances. I'm disappointed and losing more and more confidence in your company's services with each order I have sent in. Please make it a point to notify your management about this, because as a customer I am beginning to feel that CGC really does not want to be in the sports card grading market and would rather stay with TCGs and Comics.

Hello CGC Admins, When possible could you look into the following issue I encountered with a registry entry: I submitted card number 1401021642022 which should correlate to the slot seen below ( #100 2019-20 Topps Chrome Sapphire UCL Cristiano Ronaldo (Image Variation)) but, instead the system did not match it up with that empty slot and I had to put in for a new slot request. Could someone look into this so that I can properly add the card to my registry set. Thank you in advance!

When adding the 66' Topps Black Bat version of Batman cards, don't leave out the other (4) Batman Sets that Topps produced that year. That includes: 1966 Topps Batman A Series Red Bat - 44 cards 1966 Topps Batman B Series Blue Bat - 44 cards 1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs - 55 cards 1966 Topps Batman Riddler Back - 38 cards

@NickiO CS Hello Nicki, not to hijack a thread but I would offer a contradicting opinion and state that there is definitely a collecting interest in Sports Card error cards. From the various Billy Ripken errors, Frank Thomas no name error, Mickey Mantle name in white and so on and so on. If CGC offers error designations for TCG cards it shouldn't be that much of a lift to offer it for sports cards and a service\benefit that CGC can offer its collector base.

Vintage Tobacco Card Non-Sport Sets Supposedly CGC wants to promote that they are grading Non-Sport cards other than TCG, yet anytime new sets are added its all TCG or predominately TCG. I have tried to help your push by sending in a vintage tobacco card set based on actors/actresses, put in a request to have the set added and nothing for over a month. I was hoping to have the set in place prior to the registry contest deadline but even with sending the cards in September and requesting the set in November when I received them back did not help. I would like to send in more to help boost your non sport registry but it appears that CGC does not truly want to embrace this community of collectors.

@Leiataua Dr. Jon When you state "I suspect that if CGC offered grading for $7 per slab and then marketed that price point throughout the year for vintage, modern, and ultra modern specials, including on new releases, they would gain a greater following." I agree that would bring in a greater following; but, do you believe CSG/CGC would be able to handle the influx? I only state that because with the current low numbers that are being churned I see many posts here on the chat threads of users saying "what's with the delays in grading". Add on the backlog that I see when slot and set requests are made to when they are fulfilled, i'm not sure CSG/CGC's operations would be able to handle the influx that such an undercut would bring. I mean take for example their latest registry awards "contest". Stated on their announcement is " Ensure your CGC Cards Registry set is at its best by 10 a.m. EST on December 29, 2023" yet how are you suppose to accomplish this when they have such a backlog on slot, set and submission requests? I'm only speaking from experience as I have submission orders that arrived at CSG in September, were graded and shipped back by November and have slot requests or set requests unfulfilled. I do agree with you that building up special promotions throughout the year ala PSA style, offering specials on vintage or modern, etc, etc, will bring attention and more traffic to CSG/CGC grading...BUT, from what I see, I don't think they can currently handle it and that may be why they are not attempting your suggestions.

Completely agree with MoshPit. I came over to CGC because I was sick and tired of paying high submission fees over at the 500lb gorilla's place only to get ridiculously inconsistent grading back. I find CGC's slabs superior to other slabs in the industry, bulk pricing that I can afford and the most important of it all...consistent grading. But, I am a primarily PC collector and I do understand and agree with the argument that the gorilla gets you more bang for the buck.

Hello CGC community, Anyone else receiving errors when requesting new slots for existing sets? Each and every time I try to request a slot I receive an error displaying "Failed to save set type request". I am using a Win 10 machine and I have tried on Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox. I have tried a different computer running Windows 10 as well and I have tried on my android based phone. I get the same error everywhere I try. Clearing cache and rebooting does not solve the issue. Anyone else seeing this?

Much appreciated Maribeth. Thank you!

Hello Ryan, Apologies for never following up on this post. I do see the discount now on new submissions. Thank you. BUT, I was charged full price on the order that I had submitted when the error was occurring. Thankfully your co-workers on the accounts team rectified the issue by applying the difference in a credit to my account. For fellow submitters, if you experienced the same issue that I encountered back in September, I advise you double check what you were charged for your submissions. I was charged full price and had to reach out to CGC support in order to be refunded the difference in the form of a credit for future submissions. I personally do not believe that is the proper resolution to the issue (I should be refunded to the CC that was used to pay for the order since I was overcharged) but since I plan to send in a future submission I accepted the credit to my account and did not open a dispute with my CC company.

Hello CGC admins, I have attempted to request a new set type in Sports Cards and keep getting an error message when pressing the submit button. Please see the screenshot below. I have closed my browser (Google Chrome on Windows 10Pro) and re attempted the request submittal but receive the same error.

Like Iceman399, I have always used Cardboard Gold brand Card Saver I and Card Saver II holders when sending in my orders. Never had an issue.

Hello CGC Support, Since the online form has become merged, I no longer see the 10% discount on grading submissions that my membership should provide. When I attempt to use the new online form for bulk card submission, the button for bulk submissions displays $12/card and not $10.80/card. I tried to add a card to see if it was just the button that was no longer labeled correctly but I also do not see the discount when a card is added. Could you let me know if its an issue with my account or if it is something else so that I can put in a new order at the right price. Thank you in advance!

Hello Matt, Thank you for the response. I will send over the information that you mentioned in an email to service@cgccards.com. Thank you again for your reply.

Figured this would be a topic relevant to most CGC subscribers/members. I plan on contacting support directly to see what answer they reply with as well. The question is, if a CSG/CGC card is purchased from a third party (eBay, card shop, card show vendor, etc) and it has an incorrect label, can the card be submitted back to CGC as a mechanical error at no cost? I know that the policy is that mechanical errors can be sent back to CGC within 14 days of receiving back your submitted cards to have the correct label applied to the card at no cost. But if you purchase a card third party you are not the original submitter. So I'm looking for input on what would apply to this scenario. I would think that CGC would want the card corrected to properly reflect in registry and pop reports but should the collector bear the cost? Thoughts anyone?

NK, I believe BamaFan is listing on eBay (bamafancards)

This site has a nice write up that should help: https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/identifying-fake-cards-as-counterfeiters-scammers-gain-better-technology/

Hello jgresham07, I can't speak to the testing that CGC conducts to authenticate cards they receive. But in my opinion, when it comes verifying authentic vintage, doing a light test in combination with other tests (such as looking at the card's print patterns with a loupe, etc) is always best. As for the light test, the Topps 1959 set is an exception. A light will shine through the cards in the set because of their lighter paper stock. It’s also possible that a few authentic cards will fail a light test if a different supply of paper was needed at the time of printing. So definitely always do multiple types of tests to verify authentic vintage cards. Hope that helps!

Hi Karl_Racki, Yes, they grade relics here are two of my graded examples: 1021502050 1020150017 There is an upcharge for the bigger holder. I believe it may have been $5 or so but I'll let someone from CGC inform you as I don't see that upcharge in the fee table right now for some reason. Hope that helps.
