You say "horrible" but pretty much everyone else would say "accurate." 

Those of us who know how to evaluate cards before sending in are rarely surprised by the grades CSG gives. 

I’ve submitted over 200 cards and most fall at a fair grade.  I have about 30% gem mint with most falling at a 9.0.  I’ve collected most of my life and keep my cards as clean and clear as possible before I send them in.  I’m sure most collectors would agree that doing some research and looking at the cards before sending in helps with what we as collectors should expect back from csg.

Turnaround times have improved significantly.  I sent an order to csg mid January and already it’s in grading.  They will charge your CC once it enters grading.

What is everyone’s time on spending on the last step?  I’ve been there for about a week now.  Is this normal or do I just play the waiting game?

I just received my first bulk sub back marked received 5/17 shipped 9/3

One oddity I noticed is the use of thick holders for seemingly standard card thickness. Even found them mixed in for cards of the same set/year such as 1984 Topps Football. My walter peyton was in a thick holder while Elway/Marino were in standard slabs. 

Not really upset just odd

My bulk order was received on 6/3 now on GEI so should be getting close.  I hope

Wow it took only 1 day for csg to show my package as received and scheduled for grading  from when the post office dropped it off.  I have a couple of bulk orders with one back in my hands after 4 months and one in grading.  No complaints hear

From someone who works there- they were getting buried in quick submits, and making too many mistakes, and profit margin didn't justify to keep doing it. People were sending in massive orders, and they did not have the staff to handle it. 

I sent in 2 bulk orders with quick submit. Got one back and one in grading.  The quick submit was a life saver for those that have kids or jobs with very little time for there collection.

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?

I had the same issue with psa 2 years ago. I had two bulk orders that we’re about 2 months apart.  One bulk orders that I sent in first had 50 cards with baseball and some hockey. The other bulk 50 card order I sent in almost two months later had all football and was mostly josh Allen,baker mayfield and Patric mahomes rookies.  My football order was shipped back to me in less than 4 months when I shipped to them.  It’s all about the POP report

What happenned to the quick submit option?

 

Looking for the same thing.  Like myself I’m sure it was a popular option that collectors we’re using.

right  now csg are the only ones that are accepting bulk orders.  i cant complain about 12 bucks a card as most of my cards are for the PC.  some i do sell yet im not going to yell and stomp my feet at the clouds because its taking a few weeks longer than what they promised.  i submited a few bulk orders to them in march and april and already received my order from march.  no complaints hear.  i have submited to PSA and beckett and have to admit i love these CSG slabs.  if they can grade million doller comics i think i can trust them with my cards.

With Beckett shut down and psa being very limited I’m guessing the floodgates are open now for csg.  Let’s see if they can keep up with the flood of cards that’s about to be dropped off at there door.

With what customer service told me is the day your package arrives to there office

I had no issues with customer service at all.  I was on hold for like 1 minute and right to who I need to talk to.  I’m in the middle of nowhere so internet is very spotty so I called with some questions that she answered very quickly.  Yes as soon as a package is received at there office then the clock starts.  Yes I was very impressed with the service they provided.

its on purpose they want you to use their quick submit process for $2/card 

I tried with the submission with entering cards yet found that it took way to long. So I just did the quick submit.  extra 100 bucks for a 50 bulk.  Sucks yet it saved me a few hrs of heartache

I was curious what the current backlog is for bulk? "Current" I'm trying to figure things out. 

I sent a bulk order out and they received my shipment on March 22 yet it’s not showing up in the system yet.

It took about two weeks to get my kit.  

I also did a bulk quick submit.  This is a life saver service for those like me that has kids that never give me free space.  Bulk+quick submit is still a great price and will definitely be using CGC as my go to service

Remember, them entering them into the system is the same thing as PSA Research and ID. They are probably getting a lot of orders and it takes time for them to go and make sure that what you put on the sheet is correct. Not to mention the lazy people who cannot even identify their own cards and send in 50 or 100 cards for them to research on their own.

Even then, they are still making turnaround times. PSA can't do anything timely and according to the emails they send out to their club members, they aren't going to address them any time in the near future.

I’m one of the lazy people.  With 5 kids all at home right now I just don’t have the time to enter all the required info.  Paying the extra two bucks for a quick submit is a great step for those that don’t have the time

I also sent in a 50 card submission and will be sending in more very soon.  Don’t know why some sports card collectors don’t trust csg with there cards when comic book collectors will trust the same company with million dollar Superman comics.  

I’ve submitted tons to psa and Beckett and there is always an error on every every package they sent back to me.
