  1. Hi - It is taken into account and can effect the grade if bad.
  2. Hello - That is certainly something that we'd like to do in the future! Thank you.
  3. Hello - Thank you for your inquiry. Processing of orders generally runs 2-10 business days from delivery depending on submission volume. You will receive an automated email notification to alert you of your new submission once it has been processed. After processing you may begin tracking the progress of your orders online via the Submission Tracking feature.
  4. Hello - We know that turnaround times are important to our customers and we are working hard to complete submissions as quickly as possible while still maintaining our high-quality standards. The turnaround times on the CGC Trading Cards website reflect the approximate time we think it will take to complete a submission that was received in the last week. Unfortunately, due to growing submission volumes and other factors, these turnaround times cannot predict the time it will take to complete a submission that is received in the future. Check our website often for the latest turnaround time estimates. We apologize for any delay or inconvenience.
  5. Thank you for your inquiry. The CGC Servers were temporarily down and as a result, the Online Submission Form, Submission Tracking, Certification Verification, Census, and Registry functions were impacted. The servers are back up and all the site resources have been restored. We apologize for any inconvenience.
  6. Hello - Please email service@cgccards.com for more information.
  7. Hello - It is impossible to provide feedback until we have a card here to evaluate.

  14. Hello - Cards and comics should not be shipped in the same package. Thank you.
  15. Hello - No, this is not a service that we currently offer. Thank you.
  16. Hello - Thank you for your interest in CGC Trading Cards. You can read more about the CGC grading process here. Each collectible is evaluated by multiple grading professionals. We do use a laser scan to determine centering on cards. There are steps in place to prevent debris from getting inside the holder but this can't always be prevented. If this happens to your card you can just reach out to us and we will correct the issue. Have a good day.
  17. Hello - The turnaround times vary with our submission volume and will be longer in periods of high demand. The estimates posted on our website are reflective of the length of time it will take for a submission received today to be finished. They are reflective rather than predictive and they are updated as those times fluctuate with our submission volume. Our submission volume has been extremely high and we are working to complete submissions as quickly and as safely as possible. We apologize for the delays and any inconvenience.
  18. Hello - The only way to get a perfect 10 is to pay for sub grades and receive 4 10's on the sub grades. Grading with sub grades takes 3 or 4 times longer than without, so to examine every card in that level of detail, even those that do not pay for sub grades, is not feasible.
