Yes

Arrived March 15th NO updates 20 Working days = 26 actual days...Hello darkness my old friend...

I sit at home wondering if they work a normal 5 days a week or 7 days a week for those that want overtime. If they work 8 hour days or 10 hour days and take overtime volunteers for the other 3 days of the week. Or...do they do 4/10s and also a 3/12 schedule for the weekend shift...and eliminate the OT all together. If they are planning to open different submission/grading locations in the US. It boggles my mind there is only 1 spot to send CSG submissions to. I've said it before but that's like a guy in New York ordering his Starbucks straight from Seattle. Insane. Which ever grading company figures this out and does any kind of data analysis on projections, wins. I honestly hope CSG does this. I absolutely prefer their slabs to any other. I checked the website no openings for VP of operations. and i would ask about the use of Emojis in the interview.

Welding and fabrication is my personal specialty. The mechanical/engine stuff is just plain fun to learn and do, so far so good since my first chevy 4.3 engine rebuild on my S-10 Blazer back when i was like..20 ish. paint ...is annoying part.

To be honest I've been looking at restoring late 60s model muscle car to pass the time. maybe early 70s. take my mind off of it. I have 12 more submissions ready to go but I'd like my 3 in progress to be done first. I found a 69 Chevelle for 1,500...I'm looking into it.

Were not the ones who set the rules CSG did. They're were naive from the start. We as the "demand" have nothing to do with it. We all are familiar with the state of the industry but CSG is one who set the terms to attract customers with false hopes...indicating they had their stuff together. They do not. If I sell you a car with a 10 year warranty I'm not allowed to change that to a 4 year warranty before you drive off the lot. I don't think anyway...I'm not a car salesman.

They got us with the dates. Jacked them up after they had tons of submissions. Give it two weeks and it will be 120 days...Working days that is. So basically after the baseball season is over. Cool.

Imagine if everyone who wanted Starbucks had to order it from Florida. Well first of all it would be cold when you received it 4 months later, It would most likely be spoiled, it would most likely be spilled. but all that isnt the point. It's supply and demand. The first company with the brains to open multiple locations through out the US win the market. I do not see how they don't get it. Also, I'm 100% down for graders needing to get a certification. Some sort of National Standard for Sports Card Grading. The last thing we all need is a grading company hiring temps. To be honest I'd like to know the graders qualifications. as in out graders are certified though... blah blah blah...what ever. Not...oh yeah...Neal has been with us 2 weeks. ???????

In other news...the 60 day bulk has been changed to 80 day bulk. Sounds like they already need to shut it down for the summer and resume order in the fall.

For 8.00...H3LL yes.

That escalated quickly.

I haven't seen any new CSG reveal videos come out youtube recently. Its concerning because there should be at least a few per day. I know if you tube is still around when i get my cards back it's going post a return video. You would assume you could watch CSG return videos for hours but it does not seem that anything is leaving the facility. by the way post your return videos on youtube. P.S. I've never seen a youtube video reveal a 10. and I think I've seen them all.

Any updates?

That's the day when my first submission arrived to CSG...no updates on progress for me.

Brady might be in the hall of fame before you get those cards back.

Yeah...it's not the condition im too worried about. It's identifying the keepers from the trash...as far as hockey goes. I got them in a lot of about 300,000 cards been on the back burner for the last 2 years.

Yesss...I have about 15,000-25,000 cards i got in a giant lot purchase I have been holding off going through because i have no idea what I'm looking at. This sure helps.

I'm on 18 working days my package was signed for. Zero Updates. I've got a third submission but at this rate I may as well wait for PSA to open back up. I sent in 2 bulk orders and it will already be June at the earliest by the time i get them back...most likely August or September but i don't think even CSG even knows what is going on or how to battle though this situation.

Its tough to tell when our submissions are backed up to the parking lot. I imagine shipping containers in the employee parking spots getting filled so much for that employee of the month spot.

I'm also thinking pile...and the bottom of the pile is much larger than the tip top. How are they supposed to know if you ordered the quick turnaround vs the bulk if you don't open the dang box? Well at least they gave us a chat to vent.

Welcome to the real world Neo.

Imagine going to a Mall or something like that...Having your cards graded right then and there or like... come back in an hour or Tomorrow at noon. PSA would be done.

If i did pay for walk though...they would still be sitting in the lobby for the last month. So is it really worth it?
