    Payment

    Hello is it possible to send payment with the submissions. In your own terms and agreement number 5. It says that the customer will be charged at time of submission. I currently have two submissions that if charged at time of submission would of been paid for. But because CGC does not follow it's own terms and agreements I have two submissions that have not been able to clear the payment process and currently I do not know when I will be able to to pay.
  2. I finally have my first 6 magazines being shipped back. I am very curious to see what I receive back. I will compare my images of each magazine. As I check out the photos that I took of my submissions and compare them to the grader's notes, I'm at a loss for what the graders eyes pick up that my camera could not. That being said, It would be a great service for CGCs customers if in the grading numbers explanation there were examples photographs for the grades. Without examples the words mean nothing. And transparency is good for both sides. Like I said before in an earlier post , I would freelance for CGC fixing all the wrongs. The best grade I received is a 9.0 but what does a 9.0 look like. What are handling and or manufacturing error what do they look like. Thank you Alan Thomas
  3. I am in the post credit charge phase when will I be able to see what the grades were

    UV imaging

    I have an UV in the grading status, I paid for imaging, is the imaging expedited for this tier?
  6. On average, how much time does it take to recieve images via email. My UV tracking shows that the package was picked up on Monday at 4:58 P.M. in Sarasota. Today is Wednesday. I also paid for the overnight shipping and was hoping to receive it on Friday. Thanks Alan
  7. My apologies the topic should read "how long to update".
  8. Once you receive an UV from your PO box how long does it take for me to be able to see it in my submission?
  9. If I submit a magazine in it's original wrapping, never been opened, is there a chance it might be graded at a 9.9 or 10.
  10. When does CGC Charge my credit card. I purchased a membership and then sent for magazines in to be graded. During the invoice process, when it is time to finalize the order, and it calls for the credit card information I then clicked on the submit link and continued the process of printing out the invoice and sending everything in. I assumed that, like all other websites I have used, once you finalize the order it charges the card immediately, Just as it did when I paid my membership dues. Apparently there is some time before CGC charges the card. I looked for some place that explained this process on the site but could not find one. It is possible that I missed it. This has to create problems for both CGC and there customers, If CGC does not charge first then there could be issues with there not being enough money to cover the charges due to there delay. I am trying to make it possible for CGC to collect any outstanding fees so there is no delay in turn around time.if there is no explanation of the charging process on there web site, there needs to be one so that CGC and it's customers can be on the same page. Thanks. Dreadful Delay
  11. I have purchased a magazine for a decent price less the $30. I can't find anything wrong with the magazine it has been stored in a plastic box with other magazines for the last 25 years. I have checked the price of similarly graded magazines, the price range at auction of a graded copy ranges from $200 to 123,000. What tier to I choose for grading, I payed less then $30 but I believe it will grade very high. Does this mean that I need the higher tier. What do I need to do when shipping. Is. There some special practices I need to do. I would not want to just ship it to CGC In normal shipping. Are there any third party insurance company's that you know of that I can purchase insurance from?
  12. I have found that if I click the van not find link then enter all the information it works. Thanks.
  13. How many submissions does CGC get every week?
