You don't have to pay for a box with fedex. Once they ship to your address you can select "hold at fedex store" and they will deliver it to the store where you will have to sign for it. 

I've had to do this with UPS...just change all your deliveries to go to the UPS Store if you have one.  I had packages happen like this and also grow legs living in the country and once I changed my delivery wishes all my problems disappeared.

it would be great if they only grade cards prior to 2018 and follow the same policy each year. it would really keep the backlog down and possibly drive away pure flippers and serving more actual collectors. I'd hate to see CGC fail due to a tremendous backlog of submissions which is the biggest con of all the other grading companies.

Yup!  I completely agree...COVID ushered in an over flow of flippers when they saw the money being spent and the wait times went from ridiculous to super ridiculous!  I've got a lot of 70's/80's non-sports cards waiting to get turned loose on them...

Just as a note, CGC will not be grading Sports Cards. It will be a brand new company in the Certified Collectibles Group called CSG - Certified Sports Guaranty.

Thanks for the clarification....so when will CSG start taking submissions?  

EXACTLY.  The fact that they are deep in the comics, coins and paper money authenticating and grading I'm more than 100% assured that they will excel.  The fact that they can handle multiple lines, grow with the business, etc. is what's also enticing.  The fact that it took PSA over 10 months....10 months to return an order to me is just absurd.  I'm a collector, not a flipper and the fact that it took that long to return an order was just ridiculous.  I couldn't imagine being a flipper and trying to survive by their hands.  Come on CGC!  Let's get this party started!

Thanks!  The anticipation is killing me for sure!  I'm so ready to jump ship from PSA & SGC I can't stand it!  Once they announced they were jumping in I stopped sending everything out and have a pile of 300+ cards ready to go!

Has CGC opened the door for non-sports cards to start being graded?  I have been waiting patiently for this and refuse to give PSA anymore money and I saw some activity/discussion on a FB group page but it was just people talking about comparing the companies, etc and no real answer.

Thanks!
