Bump just a reminder for people to be keeping an eye on this. I got another submission back yesterday where I was overcharged on subgrades.

Standard order shipped on 4/23, arrived to CGC 4/26 marked received 5/3 Finalized/Imaged/Shipped 5/26 Very surprised to have an order complete within a month considering the turnaround times just increased to 65 business days yesterday for standard.

Hahahahaha I mean they are not finishing stuff in the order, seems some orders just take longer than others. I got back stuff that got marked received on 3/20, 4/5, and 4/8 but my 3/17 marked received is still in Grading/Quality control. Just happy to see that overall from a larger sample size they are moving quickly on the standard stuff in general, even though it seems they increased the turnaround time estimate to 65 business days, it seems to on average be going much quicker than that.

I always ship FedEx to CGC Trading cards. I've never had an issue, Just make sure to send it as either FedEx Express, or FedEx Ground (if you ship to the PO Box with FedEx smartpost it is a good chance USPS still is involved in the process)

Everything coming back all at once! Got back 4 Different Standard Orders and a Bulk Order today! Bulk Order was 99 cards marked as received by CGC on 12/23, Finalized/Imaged/Shipped 5/19 Standard order of 16 cards marked as received by CGC on 3/20, Finalized/Imaged/Shipped 5/18 Standard order of 18 cards marked as received by CGC on 4/5, Finalized/Imaged/Shipped 5/20 Standard order of 33 cards marked as received by CGC on 4/8, Finalized/Imaged/Shipped 5/21 Standard order of 20 cards with subgrades marked as received by CGC on 4/8, Finalized/Imaged/Shipped 5/21 Looks like they have been busy over there!!! Was really nice to receive back 5 different submissions in the same day but a little overwhelming! Also just noticed today that a 3 Card Standard Submission of Error cards with subgrades that got marked as received on 4/28 got changed to Finalized/Imaged/Shipped today 5/24

Had the same thing happen on a submission that came back last week. 7 Card express order before the price change that got charged the correct old price for grading, but $10 per card on subgrades, I called the accounting department and they were able to get it corrected, but something people should definitely be aware to look out for when you get your cards back.

Not sure how they could have sent it in, only options are Pokemon or Magic, so there would not have been a way to even fill in the info for a card from this game.

Just added it all up and its quite a bit at the moment ha 2047 cards at Bulk 238 cards at Standard 11 cards at Express 1 card at Walkthrough 2297 Total cards currently at CGC. Looks like more should be coming back soon though!

I mean they still need to finish the mid December orders, and the late December orders, and all of the January orders, and the first week of February orders, before yours.... got a long way to go.

Yeah gotta be something else going on with the card. Thats just how the foreign cards were printed with the lighter colors during that time period, just cracked a fresh sealed case of Spanish Diamond & Pearl a couple of weeks ago and opened a few packs and the borders are "faded" exactly like that.

Higher value than my bulk orders.... because I don't send Base Set Charizards and Birthday Pikachus in bulk.... at the time of that bulk submission they don't fit the criteria of needing to be valued at $100 or less. Most people send those in at a higher tier because they are valued higher...

Provided you mail it off within the next 7 weeks or so. It has to arrive to their facility before 6/28.

Its most likely not fading from sunlight as the OP suggested. The foreign cards from that time frame were printed differently and the coloring is slightly different and the cards have those lighter borders. If you open any packs of Spanish or Portuguese from that era you will get those lighter borders, so would make sense they printed the promos of those languages in the same manner.

Express w/subgrades marked as received 4/8 Status: Finalized/Imaged/Shipped 4/30 16 total business days turnaround from being marked as received.

I just had one that finished up today. It was marked receive 4/8 and Finalized/Imaged/Shipped 4/30. They currently quote a turnaround of 17 business days on Express. Mine was shipped back the 16th business day after being marked as received so pretty much right on the money. Standard on the other hand is well beyond the quoted 31 business days.

Your grading fee credit wont be cut in half, it will still take exactly $150 off of your grading bill.

To be fair the CGC submission forms have sucked the entire week, not just today. Hell it was having issues last week the couple of days before the announcement.

Just quoting this page does not answer the guys question at all... hes asking about once its at a certain point in the process, not to mention CGC Turn Around Times are NOT accurate currently on their service fees chart. Have a March 3rd (marked received standard) It is now on Business Day 39....and still scheduled for grading, so that 31 days turnaround time is no longer accurate on Standard.

All you can do is keep trying. The clearing cookies thing is not the issue like it has been claimed before... even new unique devices from different IP addresses get the same error, just keep at it and eventually it will submit. I actually found that part easier than trying to pull up the Packing Slip, at least you get a month to do that though!

I think your BULK sub being marked received on 4/7 snuck in right before they got slammed with Express/Walkthrough orders after PSA stopped grading most service levels on 3/30. Where your 3/19 standard would be backed up behind them needing to expedite all the priority service tier orders that have been coming in non stop.

Its the same chain, gamestop is the parent company, all of the US Locations are now called Gamestop, and the Canadian/Australia stores are called EB Games. The EB Stamped one was given out at Canada locations, possibly other countries as well.

I guess this is one of the ones it might vary for different orders, I just had a Bulk order go to Scheduled to Grading for a 12/18 order and it took only about a week for that to happen and it to finalized/imaged/shipped so at least for my personal orders my most recent bulk no subgrades moved quickly. My most recently returned Bulk, Express, and Walkthrough orders all had met the current turnaround times, this Standard is the first to still be at "scheduled for grading" after the current turnaround time had expired. Was hoping to see if anyone here had a standard order finish recently, and it does not seem to be the case.

Yes that is correct it has been on "Scheduled for several weeks" Either way its beyond the 31 days "ETA" turnaround time and it has not shipped back to me, so it seems they should probably update the TAT to something more accurate to what it actually is

Received: 3/3/21 Items: 6 Service TCG- Standard Status- Scheduled For Grading Looks like they need to do an update on turn around times again on the website. (Standard no subgrades is currently showing 31 business days turnaround) This one is on Business Day 37 currently so its more than a week beyond the current TAT listed. Hopefully moves out of scheduled for grading soon! Seems bulk orders are moving along quicker once in scheduled for grading than Standard currently.

Maybe they added 1 day on for each time you called or complained about this particular order on the message boards. If so It is going to be awhile still Just messing but in all seriousness my 12/18 bulk order once it finally got out of scheduled for grading changed to finalized/imaged/shipped very quickly, so once yours finally moves along I would not expect it to take long.
