  1. I wonder if anyone can explain to me how a card with an older registration number (Something in the 37900 range) could get a M+9.5 grade even if it were submitted for regrading. If the card was a GM9.5 originally it would now be a 10. I don't see how any cards that were originally graded a M9 could move up to M+9.5. Anything with two nines would still be a M9. Anything with an 8.5 could move no higher than a M9. I see many cards with old registration numbers that seem to have been reholdered with M+9.5 grades. Am I the only one that finds this confusing?

  2. I recently sent in eight graded cards, all with M9 grades to be regraded with the hopes of getting M+9.5 grades. I received a call from customer service to clarify if I wanted a reholder or a regrade. I had sent them under the $15 grading tier so I was confused why the call. In talking with the CGC rep I explained I was hoping some would qualify for the M+ grade. He explained to me that the M+ grade had been around since they started grading and that if they had been good enough to get that grade they would have gotten it originally. All the cards had sub grades that to me appeared to be very strong 9's. With what he said I decided to see if I could cancel the order and have them sent back with nothing done. CGC agreed to do that and am waiting for them to be returned. Was I given the correct information? Can a M9 qualify for M+ 9.5?

  3. Excuse we for asking what might be a stupid question but, when you say clear your cache do you mean my site history on my computer or something else? I've cleared the history on my computer and that has not resolved the problem. If you mean something else please explain. Apologies for my ignorance. The sets I'm referring to are the ones with a rank of zero. 

  4. If I submit a card graded a 9 for re grading that has strong subgrades. Say 9,9,10,10. Do they use the existing subgrades or do they disregard the existing grades and re grade the card. It would seem a card with those subs would come back with a 9+ grade. Or do they regrade the card with the possibility it would come back with a lower grade. I understand it would not have subs anymore. 

  5. If you contact customer service with an e-mail, they will give you an order number and you can return them and they will re-slab them. They pay the shipping both ways. I've been submitting for a year and had it happen only once on 4 slabs. The process was pain free and the slabs were returned fairly quickly.

  6. Are error cards more collectible, or does it depend on the error? I have two cards that have the error additional ink. I also have a Machamp from the Base set that looks to be miscut along the top.

    Corners are straight cut not rounded on the top. Any thoughts if this would be an error card? Appreciate the feedback.
