CGC states, "CGC does grade magazine-size books. However, CGC does not grade treasury-size books as their size exceeds even the largest available CGC holder." Treasury size is a mere 13.5" x 10" while a concert poster is 14" x 20" With the understanding that thickness is a difference as well, on the positive side these statements are contradictory. There is a market for treasury size, so what is the reality over not grading them? Thanks.

Give them a call tomorrow

Hi Mike, In general, when CGC misses annotation of the newsstand edition on the CGC label, is it returnable for correction at CGC expense? The prerequisites have been met: I added newsstand edition to the comic line item because there was none, and it is confirmed a direct edition exists...a lot of them. Thank you

My question is, if sub grading is not a selected service at the time of submission can a perfect 10 still be achieved? Also, is it possible to send in slabs to update the label to include the sub grades? If not, there's a future service for it. The future is now thanks.

Hi Mike, I have been trying for about 5 days or so to complete a submission (before Ian). The area "How should we send your order back to you?" and "Which service do you want to use?" does not work as intended. I select ship with CGC and ground, but when I click enter payment it points to "Ship under my Account/Select carrier." which I cannot get by....its like a glitch. thanks.

Economy (Pre - 1975) $35 Fast Track: +$15 227 days Fast Track: 20 days This seemingly going-out-of-business deal or sale is working for new submissions--but its pushing mine (and others) back more and more from 9 months ago--even 3 months ago. Apparently this is an intended consequence. I should note I could have been a father....I could have conceived after the submission and had the baby in the crib (and started another) before one grade is given.

Hi, I did as you instructed. Thanks for the knowledge and the help.

I went to submit 3 batches of 50 comics each on 6/18, but the form stopped working after the 2nd submission. Today is no different. CGC on the phone says I should delete all 50 comics and start over. But I rather avoid my head exploding after that not working. After all, checks work fine and therefore the 50 lines items cannot be the issue. Also, funds are not the issue. Please advise.

Actually, the submit form is 100% inferior to the prior submission form. The prior submit form lets you edit the line item in its entirety, With this new one, no editing is allowed--only deletion.

What I surmise is they never expected for any submissions to take 8 months and more to complete so they set it up to drop off at 8 months. They have a search tool for submissions over 8 months I use to check my 9/12 Eco. The days are doubled from last year's tats.

Hi Ryan, can a purchased green label card (like from ebay) be sent in for reslab/relabel for the $5 cost? I am unsure if the $5 fee only applies to those that sent in their own cards they had graded. Thanks.

Amazing. I took a chance with BGS (I was one of the first to submit to them) at their inception and about 20 years later I find PSA is the top grader since their cards command more. So I sent cards to PSA, but as you know the wait time for the last 2 years or so was disturbing. So, I took a chance with CSG a year ago (again, I was one of the first to submit to them at their inception) and find apparent indecisiveness today...the green label and grading scale lasted a whole year. I might as well pay for regrading at PSA instead of paying reholdering anywhere else. Not like I agree with all the grades anyway....and there are label errors. Or maybe I should cash out and call it a day.

Among others, I have three Sept 2021 submissions charged Wed (no emails yet either), two of them modern have been in Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging for many weeks (at least one of them a month); one is an economy still in the basic scheduled for grading.

I predict in a week or two.

That's insane. They should be done with at least July let alone May....unless they went to CCS.
