Bulk order 50 cards no subgrades

Received 3/7

Grading/encapsulation 3/28

Shipped 4/4!

Wow! The speed has really increased O_O

I still don't see that Youtubers 10's in the Pop report .... Has anyone actually seen these in a video maybe?? Unless a "good portion" is a 5/500 O_O

I really think CGC just made a mistake with what numbers they chose for the grades. People just hate the number 9.5. I think the normal scale is 1 - 9.5 (Gem Mint). There are special cases for more pristine cards which are the 10's (somewhat like a black label). IDK if they should change it some Gem Mint is 10 and then the Pristine and Perfects get a new label. But the sooner the better I think.

Shop Now button needs some love as its pretty broad. But the Pop report is looking good so far. Would be nice if we can click individual cards and have it link to the High Res image of it so we can match certs with grades easier

Edit:
Actually that might cause fraud posts on eBay 🤔

So now Im wondering how often the pop report is updated. Because now that we have that, Those 40-50 are not in the Pop Report (yet). I've been scouring the Pop report and everyones claim of a mess ton of 10's doesn't seem to match up with whats in there. Can someone point me in the direction in the Pop Report where all these 10s are?? So it's either a placebo effect or people are lying.

As for regrading 9.5's in hopes of 10s. I think that can be a good option if you have the money for it. Since its all still human eyes at the end of the day, may get lucky. I haven't tried cross grading any Pokemon cards so I have no idea the relation between the two.

No. It has been hosted here at CGC COMICS. They still need some kinks worked out. Because when I'm on the tcg site and click the message boards, it brings me back to the comics website and when I click the CGC logo to go back to the homepage, it sends me to the cgccomic site.

Ah I've been going to cgccards this whole time and it redirected me to cgccomics lol. So I didn't realize. I thought a new launch meant a redesign. Gotcha

Not sure if Im missing something but hasn't that always been the site?? 🤔

Came to check on this. I'll be back in a few weeks. Yall be safe

Guess this is a no?? Lol

Yeah you can send them back as Mechanical Errors on the Submission Form

Is it the number that gets under everyones skin?? I wonder if it would be better if Gem Mint was was 10 on CGC as well instead of 9.5.

That might be CGC's main downfall it seems. Wonder if that will change in the future 🤔

I know its sarcasm, and you joke - but honestly I feel you on this...to an extent.

I really dont like the 'fake' part of not getting a 10. They clearly gatekeep, and I'll give you an exact example:

100 charizard illustrators sent to PSA: 79 10's
200 charizard illustrators sent to CGC: 0 10's

You're telling me...not ONE...ONE japanese promo that is NON-HOLO was a 10? They all just magically hit the 9.5 mark? It's just BS. The 10 gate-keeping needs to stop. I'm fine with it being 'hard' to get a 10, I feel PSA throws out 10's when they shouldnt...but dont falsify the grades to make your 10 rare.

Just my 2 cents. 

Do you have the numbers for how many BGS 10's of that card were graded in that time period ??

It’s your submission number followed by line number

Ugh. That is going to be terrible to guess unless we know the very first submission number. Will constantly hit roadblocks and errors or getting blocked from searching too much. 🤔

Thanks so much!

So started working on a scraping solution. Does anyone know the science behind the the Cert numbers?? I think it would be helpful on how they come up with these Cert numbers. It doesn't seem to just be in order. Also CGC blocks you from the Verify page after a few searches. So compiling all the data would take fooooooorever without using a Proxy server that changes every so amount of searches :/

Nice. Thanks to you both!

Hey folks! Here is a link to my eBay Page where I frequently put cards up for sale as well as for auction. https://www.ebay.com/usr/mentethecollector

Noice! Will there be a system for tracking sales?? Not sure if anyone is familiar with how sales work on Reddit (for Pokemon), but you get a tally of how many successful transactions you've made. Helps to give confidence to buyers/sellers that they wont be scammed.

Here is a question for you all:  How many of you have the willpower to not look at your grades until they arrive in your hands?  I want to be surprised when they come in, but not sure if I will be able to. Any advice?

I always check lol. No reason to wait, I'm not making content

https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/9679/new-games-graded/

CGC just posted this today stating they are starting to accept tcg from Digimon, dragon ball super, final fantasy and more. At the end of the article they say they are having issues getting the slabs needed to grade yugioh cards at this time and that's what is holding them back from opening submissions for yugioh.

They are willing to start grading other TCGs but cant supply a population report yet for Pokemon.... makes sense I guess

Crazy eh. I dont think they are linked though. CGC's Engineering team may just be really bad, because they definitely have all the data. Just need to make a frontend for it. Unrelated to the Grading team

Definitely going to attempt that scraping tool I spoke about months ago that I forgot about 😅

This one is https://www.ebay.com/itm/115126783766?hash=item1ace174f16:g:zOkAAOSwwythq-qq

but you’re right I think others aren’t, I wonder if they changed after the first few 

I can't tell 

Is that not just the seller putting it in a sleeve?? I thought you meant that they were sleeved inside the slab :/

PSA isn't losing ground, but thats dope. Is there an image of it?? Your link resolves to the ebay Homepage

Edit: Are they selectively choosing which ones to sleeve or are all of them sleeved now??

It took almost 3 months to get back my 1 slab with a labeling error....

Oh I was referring to the email response time, not the process itself. No clue how long that will take. I did send a Mew back once to be reholdered (Dropped and cracked it on my part, so I paid FYI) and it took about 3 weeks. IDK what kind of time table mechanical errors follow, hopefully the reholder turn around time O_O

FYI to anyone who has this same issue, spoke with CGC folks and they directed me to use the new Mechanical Error submission on the new form. So just send them back that way instead of waiting a day or two for CGC to get back to you.

Bulk (Subs and no Subs) received on 5/14/21 has gone into G/E/I today

UPDATE (10/13/21): FYI to anyone who has this same issue, spoke with CGC folks and they directed me to use the new Mechanical Error submission on the new form. So just send them back that way instead of waiting a day or two for CGC to get back to you. Link Here

So I've finally had a submission returned with almost every card being scuffed up. At first I thought it was just dust, but after wiping it down it is indeed a scuff on the case itself. I remember forum members bringing this up months ago and this still seems to be an issue. @PaulS., is there a plan in the works for updating the packaging because this is really unacceptable especially after all this time.

This is the packaging. How is this supposed to stop the cards from rattling around?? What about if styrofoam is too expensive or not eco friendly, that CGC places them in sleeves since the issue doesn't seem to be cracking but scuffing.

Here are some of the damaged cases. The Steelix is after I cleaned the case. The other are before wiping it down.
