It is very difficult to find cards for sale without the data in the order form. It used to be there but not since the merger. Are there any plans to fix this issue?

I know I can cross reference the order form to find cards but it is so much easier if this form is populated. This should not be a major tech update because the data is there. It only needs to be displayed. tks

My order was received as of this morning (probably just a few minutes after my previous post), so it only took 3 days from delivery to hitting their system. Since it's just a bulk and economy order I feel like that's pretty good. If you have an express order I'm guessing it is even faster if you mark your shipping box properly. 

Good point, I also submitted a bulk and economy order and am prepping my next order. So, I track timelines closely. It was surprising to see the 10-20 business days before the order will reflect online and if that means the cards sit or are the cards processing but it takes 10-20 days to see online. Just asking. tks for responding.

I had cards delivered on Tuesday that aren't showing up as received yet either. My last submission was logged and received the day after it was delivered, so it's possible they are running a bit slower than usual due to the changes they've made recently. 

I totally agree because my previous orders were quick to enter. I am also finding the search feature when entering cards is slow, almost to frustration. Probably lots of users and unexpected growth with their specials. IMO

Hello @Cicnews4you,

Thank you for contacting us! Carrier tracking may indicate that your submission has been received at our office, however it can still take a short amount of time to reflect within our online submission tracking. All packages received move into an intake process where the contents are inventoried and compared against the submission form as validation before moving forward into the grading process. Should there be any discrepancy encountered with an item itself, a missing or extra item, or any other concern for that matter, our customer service team will reach out for clarification accordingly.

Please note, the intake process can take upwards of 10-20 business days before the order will reflect within online submission tracking. Thank you for your patience!

So, you are telling me then that the graded time published does not include initial processing? Is that right? I've never had it take this long but then maybe you are backlogged with the specials going on. tks 

The only reason I am asking is because things have changed. I have an order that was accepted a couple of days ago but I don't see anything under submissions. It feels as though I am looking at an older page when I look up my submissions. No biggie, I know it will show up but letting you know in case some updates need to be made. tks....

Hello,

During to merger of the submission forms that happened this week, any submissions that had not been completed before the 11th were removed from custom accounts. This is because the new form is now live and we would not be able to transfer all the cards from the old submission form to the new one for processing. I am sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. We thank you for understanding.

tks for the response. I figured that would be the answer.

I was in the progress of completing my submission form and now it seems to be gone? I would hate to start from scratch.  Lmk.  Thanks

I was looking through the site and noticed that it seems only PSA and Beckett cards can be regarded. What about other companies or is it limited.

Hello, 

This may be something we could do in the future but we do not have any public plans to or a timeline on when this might occur. Let us know if you have any other questions!

thanks for the quick response

I enjoy CSG and would rather send my packs to you but am forced to go to PSA. Just wondering for planning reasons.

Hello! This is an excellent question. You can submit two tiers on one submission form; however, due to the fact that they have two different turnaround times they will always have two different shipping fees. Once you are done entering one tier of cards, you will REVIEW CART and at the bottom of the cart you will see ADD ANOTHER SERVICE. You will use this to select the next tier of service to the submission form. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you. 

Thanks for the quick response. Appreciated.

I’m looking to submit for two tiers and want to make sure I do it right.

Good Morning,

I reached out to the CSG grading team and was told the following in regard to your Roberto Clemente card:

The miscut is pretty standard and it's not bad enough to notate. Since centering is taken into account, it would be in the VG 3 grade range. 

 

Thanks for your response.  It is appreciated.

I’m trying to determine if some cards are worthy of grading.  I reviewed your grading criteria and a miscut card is difficult to determine the grade.  If a card such as the one attached want would be the highest grade it could get with sharp corners.  Thanks.  Appreciated

thks that is what I was looking for.  What a shame, otherwise the card is decent for a 75.  tks again

For what it's worth... I often throw those away...

That said, how magnified is that?

It's a 1975 Hank Aron that looks decent except for these two indentations.

I'm trying to determine if I want to get a card graded.  It is relatively clean and centered but has two small indentations on the front.  Anyone have any ideas what this would do to the grade?  Thanks so much

tks and I had three of the same card and took off the plastic on all three basically because the first two were not what I would get graded but the 3rd card was.  I think taking off the plastic is better.  IMO  tks for the input

Thanks for responding.  I might just pull it off before I send it in for grading.

qq - for Topps Finest cards that have plastic on the front is it better to leave the plastic on for grading or take it off and clean the card?  Just looking for some feedback.  tks.

recently grader values are very card specific  there's been plenty of times csg got more value then psa or sgc and vica versa, psa 10 for modern basketball destroys a csg gem mint but a csg 6 wilt chamberlin rookie just sold for 1500 more then a psa 6 wilt chamberlin rookie, its catching on csg are tough graders especially for high value vintage but csg isnt great for flipping moderns right now, Gem rates for csg arent bad if you know how to screen your cards I seen multiple csg reveals wit 80-90%  gem rates just gotta be meticulous and have a good eye 

Personally, I went with CSG because they grade higher and I think it will pay off.  IMO
