  1. From the photos, I can see that the entire back of the card has staining, which heavily effected the surface grade, and therefore the overall grade of the card. There also seems to be paper pulls on the top Pokémon logo. Paul
  2. It varies from tier to tier, but being bulk, it will likely be at least a few more weeks. Paul
  3. Hello, Books are not being graded as soon as they come in. What the announcement says is that we no longer have a backlog for opening packages and entering the comics into our system. Those comics being entered now are put in line behind yours. Thank you, Paul
  4. I see this as being received in the system on 8/20/21. However, if we base it off a date of June 1st, 192 business days current turnaround for bulk puts this in the middle of March. Thanks, Paul
  5. They were able to pull this shipment back and send the card to be fixed. Thanks, Paul
  6. It shows as shipped, otherwise you would not be able to see it. It may still be at our facility, so I emailed shipping to look. If not, don't worry, we would still fix this for free for you. You just need to contact customer service after you receive it. Thank you, Paul
  7. No. These aren't cards that are getting the old labels now. These are cards that were holdered in old labels before the change and are being shipped out. The old labels were just fine, but the new ones are of course an improvement. However, we would only offer a free reholder if the grade was printed outside of tolerances on the old label. Paul
  8. This is correct. There will still be some old labels trickling out on slower tiers. Paul
  9. I am sorry to hear that this card went down in grade, but our standards are simply different from other companies'. As for the damage, please note that before you are allowed to enter card information on a crossover, you must agree to this waiver which pops up. In the future, I suggest simply opening the holder yourself so you are able to better inspect the card in person. No matter the grade or the qualifier, it is still an awesome card! Thank you, Paul
  10. Oh no! That is unfortunate. While of course there is always the possibility of damage occurring when cracking out of any case (and a waiver is needed to submit for crossover), it is exceptionally rare as the people removing the cards from the holders do it all day every day. They are pros. I would chalk this one up to a difference in grading standards. Paul
  11. Cards, even those straight from a pack, are not guaranteed to be a ten. Paul
  12. Well it is good to hear that the newer inserts are performing better. This issue is still pretty rare overall, and only seems to happen when the boxes are really mishandled by the shipping service. I do not believe we are using the older inserts anymore, but there still might be submissions going out in the older ones as we finished up the stock of those. My suggestion would be to give Plast-x a go as that would be easiest/quickest for you. If that doesn't help, or they are too severe, please contact customer service for options. Thank you, and I apologize for the inconvenience! Paul
  13. I am so sorry to hear that! Do you have a photo of the interior packaging of the box? Was it the new white one or the older one? Thanks, Paul
  14. Unfortunately it has been delayed a bit, but we are throwing more resources at the project to try to get it launched sooner. Probably looking at early in 2022. Paul
  15. Should be by the end of the year. But none of those planned so far are the ones you listed. They are more gaming-oriented cards. Paul
  16. It would need to be submitted for regrade with sub grades. The overall grade should not change. Paul
  17. I would not have approved this reholder. I understand you do not like the look of them, but this is simply a minor variance just like the grades being misaligned to the grade box. Both issues can no longer happen, but are minor enough that we let them go. The grades should not change. Paul
  18. Yes, that is our official Instagram. We will be grading those metal cards. Paul
  19. Hello! That is actually a Miracle Energy It is from the 2001 set Darkness, and to Light. Paul
