Similar boat for me, The Economy order of 8 cards was received on 2/28/24, and a day later Scheduled for Grading, however, the status moved yesterday, 4/8/24 to Grading, Encapsulation, and Imaging. I will update this thread with a status update if anything changes. Edit: It is now April 10, and the status changed to "Quality Control / Finalized" Also, I didn't call them to nudge them to grade or anything like that, I'm just waiting it out like many people are, but, good on you for being proactive and calling so they can adjust the TAT.

Received June 30th, Shipped July 21st. This was for a 26-card bulk submission.

I don't mind the label change as it has neutral colors. It will take some getting used to. I'm really disappointed they're taking Subgrades away. Why totally take it away and just keep it as an option in case people want to use it??? I only use subgrades for my high-end cards or serial numbered cards to help differentiate between other copies of the cards also to show off the subgrades, (example: "like hey look this card has perfect centering or a perfect surface that other copy of the card does not") subgrades can help people choose the condition they want in a card when choosing to buy which copy they prefer because of subgrades. Subgrades at $15 a card was a bit expensive, so I chose to use them for my "high-value" cards. CGCcards, if you're watching, please re-consider keeping subgrades as an option and not totally take it away.

Hmm.. Maybe a Staff Member/Mod/"someone who's in the know" could chime in?

Hey hey. Hoping someone could lend an eye. Do you think this Charizard card has a chance at a 9.5 for centering? I'm thinking about submitting this in my first ever "bulk submission" when I get the chance. Hoping to get a Pristine 10 overall. Just not confident about the centering.

Hi all, thought I'd start a post on ideas/wishlist for CGCTC grading, maybe this post could be stickied if valuable enough for the community? or maybe a dedicated sub-forum could be made with a similar title, so users can explore and expand on ideas and discuss different aspects? I'm sure it'll benefit CGC and its customer/user base and attract more people to CGC and the community. I've been a customer of CGC for well over a year now. I really like their slabs and I've used them over a dozen times for grading and have been happy with the results for the most part and I've become a fan. I'll start things up with a short list and continue to add things when I think it'll benefit us the customers and CGC: 1. A choice in the color scheme of the label which could be an add-on. I figured if the card will be in a slab, might as well make it overall look good with matching colors or colors that go well with or complement each other. For example: The current label is blue with black font. What if the background was a different shade of blue, like dark royal blue or alien purple, and the font was white to show contrast? There should be limitations if there isn't enough contrast between the font and background. Maybe there could be a "recommended color scheme" that goes well with the card. 2. A label to differentiate between a "Pristine 10" and a "Perfect 10". A cool effect for the Perfect 10 label would be cool. Some people say the card should be the main focus, what if the label/slab/card were the main focus and centerpiece? They're joined together anyway, once that card gets slabbed, might as well look good all together. 3. Grading notes as an add-on. A hard copy for the customer and a copy stored in a database when you look up the cert#. 4. Putting the graded encased card in a sleeve to minimize damage to fresh slabs. Maybe this could be an add-on or a normal service. Little things like that show that the company cares for your encased collectibles. That's all for now. Thank you for reading.

Thank you for the quick reply Mike. I'll send them in when I get the chance.

For whatever reason, I cracked opened some of the slabs that I have to remove my cards. Should we mail the labels back to CGC to take them off the database? Should we just toss them away? I read somewhere on the internet that PSA or BGS slabs that were cracked open were sent back (labels) to them to remove the info from their database. Does CGC do the same thing?

Thank you for the update Mike. I'm looking forward for Dragonball Super TCG to be dispalyed in the pop report!

I agree @rhunnicutt, the label looks better with subgrades. It looks like I'll only be using subgrades on certain, more expensive cards only. A few months ago I was contemplating getting subgradess on a bulk order, since the upgrade in price, I'll order grading w/ subgrades sparingly, especially on bulk orders. Atleast CGC continues to make subgrades an option and that they didn't abandon it altogether. @cyclonus11 custom and/or a more variety of labels would be nice, something to fill in that white space, if one didn't choose subgrades

Hi, The current CGC slabs are nice and clear, in that you can see the card very well. What are the different features or characteristics of the current CGC Trading Card Slab that's not on the Main webpage? Is it for example, Scratch/scuff Resistant? Water-resistant or water-proof? U/V Resistant? Flame retardant? etc. etc. Personally, I'd like to see more variety or options on different qualities/characteristics of CGC Trading Card Slabs, however, I like the current shape / thickness and clarity it gives when looking at a card. Like, I'd like a graded card slab that offers U/V Protection and a more scuff or scratch resistant material or perhaps a more premier, thicker, substantial slab that has those features mentioned, sacrificing the HQ clarity for a standard clarity one but has flame resistance on it or something. That would be sick.

Just thought I'd share this nifty thing I designed specifically for recent CGC Trading Card Slabs (as of May '22). I designed this with ease of printability and installation in mind. Enjoy and have fun! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5397321 If you don't have a 3D Printer or know someone who has one, you can outsource it to a 3D Printing company such as Shapeways for a price, just remember to print with a softer material than the slab such as normal PLA filament, so you won't leave deep scratches on the side of your slabs. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Let me know how it goes!

Hi, what is the ETA for Dragonball Super TCG cards being displayed in the pop report? BTW I'm loving the layout and functionality of the Pop Report tool so far, awesome job CGC team!

Good day and thank you for the quick response Mike! I'll def. e-mail pictures and explain the problem.
