The first order went to GEI today. On a Saturday. 

I also had an order entered in as received today (Saturday). Unusual 😅

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?

I had a friend get cards sent in for reholdering and a few of them got regraded mistakenly, but they retained their cert numbers.

He got them all fixed, but any card that got a higher grade than it had before CGC let them keep it. So he has a few older cert numbers in the new mint+ 9.5 🤷‍♂️

Man I'm on business day 33 or 34 of my Economy order still in scheduled for grading. I've tried to reach out to CGC on IG and even sent a support ticket message and no response. I feel like I'm getting well beyond the 20 business day turnaround time and it hasn't changed or increased, should I call them? CGC used to be super fast and it seems like my turnaround times get longer and longer with each new order....

I would say calling is the best way to get an answer. Sometimes you have to hold 5 or 10min to get an agent, but then you get an answer instead of an IG dm or email you have no idea got read.

Customer Service on the phone told me my order is currently in Encapsulation, although online it still says "Schedule for grading" 🤷‍♂️

So hopefully when it's done it updates all the way online

Do the cards show up on the cert lookup tool?

Bulk updated 

Wow straight to QC/Finalized!

I got asked to update my CC when I logged in this morning. So maybe that will help mine...? But I already paid like a month ago

Maybe you can mention to whom is in charge of relaxing the grading standards... That I'm being pushed away from CGC because of it... And not the other way around. It used to be challenging to obtain a Gem Mint grade... Now it's becoming more like PSA. Just give Gem Mint to everything close enough. 

They can say nothing has changed all they want... But the numbers don't lie. The numbers say exactly what is going on. 461% increase in Gem Mint frequency is not just a coincidence... It is a clear change in what is considered Gem Mint. 

Like I mentioned - I'm not just tracking this specific card - and the standards for Gem Mint have been relaxed across the board. The only reason I submitted through CGC was because they USED to be more strict. Let the team know. Strict is better. Rarity is better. Low population is better. 

There is an error I had reported and CGC keeps just telling me they are working on it.

All of my cards Ive sent in for reholder have been getting re-added to the pop report. Lots of cards I know for certain because they were 1 of 1s at their grade, and obscure cards.

Curious if lots of this new pop report data you are seeing could be cards sent in for reholder that are getting counted again and duplicated in the pop report.

My bulk order is on 36 days and still scheduled for grading 🤔😅

It's a 175 cards so we will see how long it will be. 4 days till it hits the estimate, maybe it'll magically start updating really fast after I post this 🤞😂

I would say just do your due diligence researching, grade them with one of the big three like CGC, and then list them with an auction house or a consignment ebay seller.

Best value to you with the least amount of work 😁

From 2022-2023, the great thing about CGC was the quick turnaround times. Waiting 2+ months to get 25 cards graded is insane. At what point do they offer partial refunds? Does anyone know what PSA and Beckett have for turnaround times?

Regardless of whether they've had a large influx of cards around the holidays, sitting on cards for 2+ months makes me wonder if there are some serious operational inefficiencies in the facility.

I have friends who sent cards to PSA last summer who are still waiting for them to come back.

My local card shop does submissions for PSA, they send once a month and usually its 4-5 mo for returns.

BGS I have no idea. I only know people who do walk-through at shows, so it's like $80 or $100/card or something

Economy 

Delivered: Feb 1
Received: Feb 7
Changed turnaround time from 20 to 30 days: Feb 15
Scheduled for grading: Feb 20

Today was the 20th business day, so it looks like they are gonna blast right through that estimated turnaround time. Again. Like always.

The clock doesn't start till they are entered as recieved, and after you factor in the President's Day Holiday, you are at 16 Business Days so far.

What’s Cross Over mean?

You can submit a PSA or BGS graded card to be crossed over to a CGC card. 

You can select "cross over at any grade" or "cross over at same grade or higher."

Okay not 2 years but it's been stuck for a while and not moving at all. Unless the turnaround times at CGC went up recently, this thing should already be graded.

@KaileeS CS

As of 12/28/23 its only been 25 working days. ETA for bulk is 40

Awesome, thanks Ryan!

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.

The registry team is pretty small. Probably over 1000 sets they would want added, but it takes time. 1 month isn't any time at all. Don't feel slighted it hasn't been added yet.
