    CGC employees would be fired immediately for such an offense as they are not allowed to do such a thing. 

    The first batch of these was done over the last couple of weeks using cards submitted by our largest dealers who understood that they were partaking in the final round of testing and would provide their feedback on the holder. We are happy to announce that it went well, and we are once again accepting these cards for grading!

    We apologize for the delay. It took far longer than expected, but we hope everyone will be happy with the final result.

    Thank you, 

    Paul 

    Paul do you know if the encapsulation will be done in order? Oldest to newest? My sub was received 2/22/22, or if there is any type of price adjust since orders were sent in higher tiers?

    Thanks.

    This whole thing has been one long running joke it seems. CGC must have its own dictionary with different definitions of "soon" and "week" - it has been "Coming Soon" for almost a year! Just look at the timeline!

    • March 31, 2022 (295 days ago) – “I am sorry but, we don't have a set time as to when the encapsulation delay will end.”  
    • April 27, 2022 (268 days ago) – “We will be making an announcement regarding this soon.”
      • Comment from a member – “As in how soon? From my experience dealing with CGC soon could mean anything between a day or two or a few months.
      • CGC Response - “I would guess next week at the latest.”
    • June 6, 2022 (228 days ago) – “We are currently finalizing a solution and hope to provide an update soon. Once we have fully tested this solution, we will make an announcement regarding it and let everyone know their metal cards can be safely encapsulated.”
    • June 29, 2022 (205 days ago) – “We still aren't grading metal cards. The solution that we tried last week did not work out so well, so we have one more part coming in that will hopefully remedy the situation. Will be at least another few weeks out.”
    • July 25, 2022 (179 days ago) – “We are still working on this”
    • August 11, 2022 (162 days ago) – “Still working on it. The solution we were hoping would work did not. So not we are working on another one, which should work.”
    • September 6, 2022 (136 days ago) – “No certain ETA. But there's a concept in the mail to us right now. We should hopefully know how that works by next week.”
    • September 21, 2022 (121 days ago) – “On a side note, the team is literally working on finalizing a solution to encapsulate metal cards as we speak.” 
    • September 22, 2022 (120 days ago) – “I believe we are getting close to be able to encapsulate these.  
    • October 3, 2022 (109 days ago) – “I expect hurricane Ian put a small delay into this. Not much, though. I believe the cards were test shipped last week,  Hopefully, there will be good news by the end of the week.”
    • October 7, 2022 (105 days ago) – “I doubt we will have an update until Tuesday at the earliest.”
    • October 27, 2022 (85 days ago) – “We had promising results, but are still working on the solution.”
    • November 12, 2022 (69 days ago) – “It will most likely be another 3 weeks before we have any new information regarding this.” 
    • December 16, 2022 (35 days ago) – “We are very close to making a positive announcement.”
    • January 19, 2022 (1 day ago) – “The announcement is coming very soon, guys.  Please be patient a little while longer.”
    • January 20, 2022 (today) – “Please be on the lookout in the coming weeks for an article regarding this issue. Thank you for being so patient!”

    And the thing is I would've asked for my economy sub back a year ago if i didn't keep checking the forums and seeing positive news :(

    We are working with 2 solutions.  They will need to go through the drop test and shipping test.  That means they will have to be shipped to someone, and shipped back to us for examination.  I believe we are getting close to be able to encapsulate these.  

    I have one that been sitting there since feb if you need a guinea pig

    You'll have to help me out here because I am lost. If 10 is the best grade possible, then what does it matter what the subgrades are? Why would your 10 be viewed as any less if it's still a perfect grade?

    CGC has a pristine 10 and perfect 10, Pristine being one of the grades is a 9.5 and perfect being all around 10. The problem is if you didn't pay for subs previously, the highest you can get is a Pristine 10, so even if it was a perfect 10 you could only get a pristine 10. 

    What I am figuring out is that you have to "Grade" the card again to find out of its a perfect 10 or pristine 10, but you might as well pay the $10 to get the sub grades along with the grading tier. I was hoping there was an option to just submit as reholder to get the subs but unfortunately it seems like that is not that case.
