1 of of my 12/4 received subs went into grading. HOLY COW its a miracle! 

For all practical purposes I am at the end of the turnaround time and it has entered grading exciting stuff!

Hopefully this isn't a situation where they are always backed up and I would be will to give them a benefit of the doubt and submit again

12/4 Economy still "Recieved".............

I honestly think that these delays were to be expected to happen eventually with such low prices and quick turnaround times offered, (really as an incentive to get cards graded with a new grading service) despite turnaround and pricing still being rather good, and even half the price in some cases compared to any other competitor. And I'm actually pretty surprised with how many people submitted in bulk, but that being said it doesn't surprise me since bulk in itself means A LOT of people are sending in A LOT at once, and that's really what sunk other grading services was the amount of people submitting so many cards in their cheaper tiers. So I don't really blame CGC for having to increase prices or their turnaround times going up as a sort of floodgate so not as many cards are being sent in as before, and probably using the price increases to help make their grading process faster, bc or else we'd all probably be waiting a lot longer if the prices were the same as they were in the beginning.

Not really sure where half the price is coming from. If PSA is say $25 for 20 day and CGC is $25 plus $7 for sub grades. The only advantage is actual turnarounds...if they arent hitting those then why would you spend similar money to not receive similar returns. Unless like I'm saying quantity of return vs quality of singular sales.

I get it new company overloaded...but just turning into PSA with just extending times, taking money upfront, and leaving us to the message boards to debate. Thats my concern be different, make me want to sub to you even if the returns are say 80% or whatever they are compared.

Not sure if being sarcastic but PSA wait times are around 7-9 months. CGC is 2-3 months tops. Even quicker with standard or economy.

I have economy orders 15 cards. Received 12/4 so it will be at least 2.5-3 months (2.5 because of holidays) 

Just hope changes are made at CGC to help improve turnarounds, that don't include price increases. PSA will be raising prices any day to try to help their backlog, CGC has a great opportunity to take a chunk out of the Pokemon graded market here but unless turnarounds get back to or close to original expectations I would take the extra 4-5 weeks at PSA and get more value 

12/4 Received 

Today: Still Received........

Economy 2 orders 1 with Sub Grades 1 without....

Economy Sub: 12/4 "Received" Still today 1/25 "Received"...Being charged at the beginning yet turnaround times being drastically increased during it really is a tough pill to swallow.
