    Lets get going on things besides TCGs. We need to see more non-sports focused sets. Why should all the good sets live in PSA land. CGC should own the fiction world. You have some key Marvel sets, but that's it.

    What about these:

    KEY VINTAGE SETs

    1966 Topps Batman

    1977-78 Topps Star Wars Series 1-5 (Base & Stickers)

    KEY MODERN SETs

    2008 Topps Star Wars Clone Wars (Base & Foil)

    2015 Topps Star Wars Rebels (Base & Foil)

    2001 Panini Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone Stickers

    2001 Panini Harry Potter Illustrated Stickers

    2008 Play Ground Maniacs The Dark Knight Stickers

    Suggesting here is the best place!

    The registry is still very new and a small team, eventually everything will get added 😄

    I'm guessing it's partially because of NY Comic Con, which was Oct 12-15. I think whenever these conventions happen, they get delayed in processing submissions.

    Though, I would love if CGC made some kind of statement as to what's going on with turnaround times in general and when they expect things to get back to normal. 

    Turnaround times have been rising if you check the official page.

    Bulk is now listed as 60 days.

    They have been posting their record amounts of monthly submissions since July. Back to "normal" I'm sure is whenever submissions slow down. Not much else to say on it really. Submissions are up, turnarounds are slower. Makes sense to me

    So when I send in a card to be graded I'm supposed to also put the value of the card, where should I get that value from? And then like it says the value limit is $250 so what if I send a card in that's worth I think let's say $50 but then you guys give it a gem mint 10 making it $300 card then what happens?

    Go with the value of raw cards. Aka the cost it would take for you to buy a new copy of that raw card if something bad happened.

    CGC only uses the raw value of the cards you send in, so the grading tier does not change based on what grade you get.

    I've heard mixed reviews on if cards get looked at to get potential regrades.  I have heard of people getting cards bumped up higher than expected.

    I'd be looking at sending in a handful of dark blue labels in the 7.5-9 range that likely would have even graded higher when they switched to the blue/fade into white ones.  

    Or.. should i crack them and resubmit.  It just sucks to have to spend more than the $5 in the first place when I already spent thousands... just to get a different label because they changed things yet again.

    You are talking about two different services.

    $5/card reholder does nothing but putting your card in a new holder with the new style label.

    The grade, cert number, everything stays the same.

    You CAN submit an already graded card to be regraded. CGC removes the card from it's holder, grades it again, you would then get a new style label (because that is now what is used) and you have no guarantee of getting ghe same grade. You get a new cert number and grade. Your old card and cert number get removed from the system and pop report. This costs the regular grading fee, same as sending in a raw card.

    You also don't have to send in anything. You don't need the new labels. The database and pop reports already converted all Gem Mint 9.5s to Gem Mint 10s. Additionally reholder pricing ia going back up to $10/card after October I think.

    Yes, we can add the English Holo sets for Base Set 1st Edition, Unlimited, and Shadowless. I've added them to the list, and thanks for the suggestion! 

    And yes, the remaining Japanese Sun and Moon and Sword and Shield sets are coming! We have a list going of Japanese Promo sets to add as well, but I would really appreciate it if you would let me know which ones you'd like to see. 

    Sure thing!

    The biggest ones would probably be these and would cover most promos out there that aren't too niche.

    CD Promos Set (Can combined Normal CD Promos & rhe N64/CD Promos)
    Quick Starter Gift Set
    Diamond & Pearl Promos
    Sun & Moon Promos
    Half Deck Sets (Multiple years, Multiple Decks)
    Black & White Promos
    X&Y Promos
    CoroCoro Promos

  6. I would like to suggest a few sets for Base Set.

    When the non-English languages sets came out, they also had a Holos set for 1st and Unlimited.

    Could we have those two sets also added for the english holos? And then one for Shadowless holos too.

     

    Next, I saw we jumped ahead to 151 for the Japanese sets. Will we get the last few Sun & Moon sets added soon, and then the Sword & Shield sets in order?

    Japanese is also still missing a lot of promo sets. I could list the ones I know of later if that is helpful.

  7. I was looking at listings for CGC graded cards on ebay as one does and came across a freshly graded card with an extra long cert number.

    Is CGC changing to this new longer cert number format?

    Originally we had these 11 Digit Numbers that were slowly growing:

    2x,xxx,xxx,xxx 11 Digit
    3x,xxx,xxx,xxx 11 Digit
    4x,xxx,xxx,xxx 11 Digit

    And now we are starting over with 13 digit numbers? 


    1401,xxx,xxx,xxx 13 Digit

    I was looking for the scanned images taken of my recent submission, which I just received back yesterday. However, the scans weren't where I normally find them on the Cert lookup. Instead, I'm seeing a blank area. I tried a bunch of other Certs from previous orders, and all of the images have disappeared. I tried this on both Chrome and Edge, as well as on my phone, but the scans aren't there. Is there a glitch with the site at the moment? 

    I think it has to do with the website update yesterday. Im having the same issue.

    I also had two submissions post and ship Friday, but now they show they reverted back after the update saturday.

    My orders have usually been pretty fast but lately it seems like CGC has slowed down or something, I have an order with a grading an an encapsulation. The graded card has already arrived back to me but two cards getting the reholder have been sitting in Grading/Quality control for close to a week now, has to be the longest I've waited for an order and wondering why its stuck on this step. I also have a few more orders I sent in, I noticed the one I sent previously was delivered but not showing up in the submission tracking yet and another package I sent maybe the week after the one I just mentioned is showing as received in the tracking submission tool ahead of the previous order. Something a little wonky is going on and just seems like they hit some sort of slow down recently or something compared to how fast they have been in the past.

    There has been an uptick in submissions since the new label announcement. They posted that in July they received over 200k cards.

    It's been nice that CGC had been beating their posted turnaround times by weeks but now it seems they are a little more true to their estimate, which is fine.

    Hello @cyclonus11

    Thank you for reaching out to us. We will make the correction to the set name once the submission reaches the grading desk. Thank you for letting us know. 

    If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to reach out. 

    @NickiO CS I have a similar issue.

    Hey,

     

    So I have a beautiful Mew graded collection (about 60+ cards) that I am hoping to cross the non cgc cards over so they all have the beautiful CGC slab. 

    My question is: when I go to cross over, could I submit the cards in the PSA slab to provide extra protection of the cards in transit? I've seen threads mentioning regrading CGC slabs and having them shipped in those slabs but nothing i've seen mentioned other company slabs. 

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Bea

    They only count as cross overs if they are still in their PSA slabs.

     

    If you crack them out and su mit them then it would be submitting raw cards.
