Market Equilibrium Reached
kreativemente replied to PokemanDude90's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
Are we talking about CGC today or CGC in month 3?? CGC (Cards) is a different company than it was when it first started. Are we going to keep using the fact that early one they had mess cases when they've evolved the cases over and over again and have gotten better?? Its going to take a while before the market values CGC like PSA/BGS. I think they're going in the right direction as far as grading quality. CGC has a ton of other issues that they have to work on though, but its not the cases -

I can see grading fees dropping since the backlog has been caught up to, but I don't think its going to change CGC's grading practices as far as how many 9s vs 8.5s are given out. Agreeing with this ^^. I feel the majority of people who grade cards actually want to keep the card and want it protected with the potential to sell it later on down the line for another card or when they're tired of it. As far as selling prices, I think we have to wait longer to have real data as well as this ever elusive pop report just for comps. But it's also a dead time, comparing todays prices to this time last year is a bit skewed since everything was inflated. -
Yeah this is true, If there aren't any real issues, it will get fixed during grading. This never showed up until that system change where they added `Scheduled for Grading` status immediately where it looks like they just rapidly making a list?? Not sure why thats happening. But this issue with mine we how I actually got the card back and decided not to get it fixed since Im just keeping it for myself. I may get it fixed if I ever find my self in Florida and just do a walk-in, but yeah, its kind of annoying how it got that label and I didn't enter it as staff. And if I did it should've been caught during grading 🤷🏾♂️

Population Report Tool
kreativemente replied to PokeCharles's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
I was thinking about this as well (The scraping portion). I may take a crack at this one my free weekends. The difficult part is pin pointing the cert numbers. As it seems to be shared with the comics as well. Will report back in a few weeks once I have some real time. -
New Changed Designed Slab?
kreativemente replied to sanzonw's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
They might have updated it for ramping up to grading other kinds of trading cards. I can see how the old case would mess up sports cards with pointy corners, but for Pokemon having rounded corners, it would be mute. Buuuuuuut DBZ has pointy corners 👀 -

Oooooh, Are you suggesting that CGC themselves are manipulating prices?? You're not speculating, but how exactly does that work?? I wasn't aware of CGC selling cards or selling services to get a specific grade. Unless I totally misunderstood the post 😅
