Wednesday 10/27 will be 3 weeks in the final stage for me. I'm assuming they are having slab issues. I called last week to see if there was a payment issue and I just made sure i got charged while on the phone. She said my cards were in the slabs department. I don't know what's up. They appear to be current per the website. It's frustrating.

Most of mine were two days ...48 hours. This current bulk order is going on 1 week. I don't get it. I was hoping to be chaged for it 10/6/2021 but as of 10/13/2021...nothing zero progress

I have about 20 bulk orders in process. Orders 1-9 have(officially) arrived. I received back orders 1,2,4 but order number 3 is in limbo...I don't get it. There is nothing irregular about order #3 all standard cards, nothing odd. But i got order #4 back on 8/2/21. I emailed and got back a generic answer they gave me no reason why this order was passed over. just a generic ( you order is in process) Order #3 was a month ahead of Order #4 in the system. Now it's working on being a month behind. When i emailed i clearly asked WTF is up with my third order and why i got #4 back before #3. I don't get it. This order has Vlad Jr.s, Tatis, Luis Robert and Yordans..That's it. Just 4 players. for a bulk order of 50. Anyone else getting this type of situation?

They are currently on my 3rd bulk order. They completed bulk orders 1 and 2 and 4 and skipped #3 for some weird reason and i received my 4th order on 8/2 something funky is going on with my stuff

This means that the submission in the grading, encapsulation and imaging phase in that order.

Then why did I just get a Grading/Quality Control update today? What are you guys doing over there? To me it seems like an extra step added to the production line to simply be able to charge us when you have actually started grading yet. It's weird and we all notice it. It's not an option in the list of "Current Status".

Anyone else have their submission order numbers recently turn unclickable (can’t think of the right wording)? It’s no longer green and now you cannot see your order info. If they have it ready that is. The only one I can click on is the order that has shipped and is on its way back to me.

Yes...7/22/2021 at around 130PM

I'm convinced the status of Grading, Encapsulation, Imaging is . There is no way in he11 it takes a month to grade a bulk order of 50. Encapsulate it and Image it. There's no way. If they want to charge us when it goes to grading they need to grade it. Not just post that status knowing they are still weeks or months out.

When were your orders delivered and entered as received? How long have your orders been in this status? 

I have about 20 bulk orders in process the First one is back to me. The next four all arrived 5/10 5/17 5/18 5/28. All went to the same status of G/E/I the same week. Kind of fishy...we all know they are not grading all of my orders at the same time. The next 3 are Scheduled for grading. I don't think they're even close to being in the graders hands. Maybe scheduled 6 months out.

It means they want to charge you even though it's not actually being graded, encapsulated or imaged. I have 5 orders in this status. There is no way 1 of the 5 isn't complete by now since they achieved this status on pretty much the same day.

According to the site, once the order goes into Scheduled for Grading status you can check the details of the order. 2 of my orders have been in that status for 4 days now with no details available. Aren’t they supposed to be available as soon as they go into that status? Or does it actually take a while to see details after going into that status? Are they pushing these orders into a new status before they’re actually ready so it looks like they’re progressing?

Mine have been in that status for over 2 weeks. so there's that.

I dont think so. I've had a bulk order in grading/encapsulation/imaging for like two or three weeks. but yet the seem to really want to orders to be "scheduled for grading" so they can charge but not actually do anything with them beyond that. It seems like a lot of people failed the grading exam and they were placed in a different role. Like documenting the order for grading so they can slap that "scheduled for grading tag on our orders.

No memorabilia stuff. Just Sports cards.

You've been living in a dream world Neo. This is the world as it exists today. ...1 year.

Something has happened. I sent in 22 bulk orders, 2 per week and there has been zero progress on anything - Zero updates to any kind of status change since 6/5/2021. I received my first order back, partially on 6/18/2021. First 7 submissions were falling in to place, than fill stop on everything.

I think suck my is the appropriate response

Poor Phil, if you didn't want people to know you're naive. You're doing a bad job. Whiny azz.

If you didnt see this coming and expected your submission/transaction to be smooth like butter...you live in a dream world... so, welcome to the real world. You're going to hate it here.

You have to call and pay by card over the phone for your first order. After that they will charge your card automatically. Card information does not transfer over from your original submission.

In my case i received my original invoice on 5/5/21...and i was like finally ...but they never charged my card and i didn't notice it. The next month 6/5/2021 i received the exact same invoice. So i called to try to figure out why they sent the same invoice twice. They took my card information and it was done. I got a partial ship notification same day and also a notification that the rest of my order waiting for thicker slabs (2 months). I don't know why i needed thicker slabs but i'm assuming they aren't completing anybodies orders. Just partially completing them on purpose. I sent in 22 bulk orders and I haven't actually got one back yet. I'm guessing they are all going to be partial returns and spread out over a year.

Correct. I have a friend in supply chain and this is literally what’s happening!

When you say bid on containers do you mean the slabs?

If you hand pick 10 cards and get 9.5s they were obviously very nice but not Mint. Any company that just hands out 10s is devaluing the product 

You must do drugs regularly. PSA hands out 10s all day. Does it devalue a 10? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I am getting the same feeling here, that CSG is going to keep with the same standards of CGC and limit overgrading and gift grades. Other companies in the comic world have a reputation of not being consistent or too loose. I would rather not see a billion gem mint cards knowing that just because it is fresh from a pack it is mint. Hopefully CSG can set the same standard that CGC has and within 2 years they will take over as the standard in the hobby.

If I hand pick 10 cards of 1000 because they are Pristine. I'd expect pristine grades and not 4 9,5s just for the sake of not handing out 10s because a person already got 1 10 in their lot.

Here's the cert lookup for this card, you have access to high-res scans there:

The bottom left looks like it has some funny coloring/shading from the photo. Corner doesn't look damaged to me.

The moderator didn't understand what you was asking, the cards came in a Topps baseball release they will grade them just like any other card in the set. 

I tried to word it as simply as possible. I don't think the person is familiar with the set.

CSG you can not be serious right now. You better fire someone, the card is already out there. Three of the 4 corners are toast and 1 of those three bad corners is absolutely tore up. WTF CSG 9.5????????? I almost bought this card and noticed that bottom left corner...WTH. CSG needs to go buy this card and throw it in the trash. ASAP
