    basically CGC removed 0.5 grades. so if ur sending in a 9.5, it wil bump to a 10. but its not regraded, the 9.5 grade just no longer exists.

    That isn't quite right.  They changed their grading scale.  They have a 9.5 now, however if it was graded as a 9.5 under the previous grading scale it will be upgraded to a 10.  New cards can be graded at 9.5

  2. @CGC Mike honestly at what point will CGC stop messing around with submissions without being 100% correct?

    I won't give specifics as they are still working through it but here is an example of what happened where CGC needs to be correct.  This is a terrible look for them.  Like PGX terrible.

    Book was sent in from the dealer as a later print of the book (there is no indicators on the covers, only the interior).  CGC CHANGES the invoice/notes/back end to read 1st print.  This is a multiple thousand dollar difference.  The Dealer wins HUUUUUGE by this change.  They can pass this off as a 1st print and no one is the wiser UNTIL someone cracks it out and gets it signed or regraded etc etc.  Luckily the dealer is a stand-up individual and will be sending the book back (of course causing their customer to be pissed off that the book will take another 2 months).

    Why the heck is CGC honestly doing this??? It's not the 1st time I've encountered it nor has it been mentioned.  These are the mistakes they can not make.  A spelling mistake stinks but it's not a $$$$$ mistake to some unsuspecting joe who's trusted CGC to be right the book is a 1st print as the only way to determine such a thing is read the inside (which is trapped around a plastic case).  I get it.  CGC needs to make changes as more often than not the customer may have keyed in the wrong book/year/issue/edition etc, however IF CGC is going to change these they better be freaking right.

     

  3. I've not heard this at all.

    When you send in for a reholder ($5).  Unless the slab/card looks damaged from what the apparent grade is they will simply reholder.

    If you would like them to regrade as you believe they are undergraded you'd have to send them in for regrading under their appropriate tier.
