I'd almost guarantee it doesn't get done in 60 days. On the TCG side our submissions had a 30 day turnaround on bulk when they were submitted. Mine took 85 business days to complete some people went even longer than that. Almost 300% increase of the estimate. It stems from how many submissions they get. Anyone sending in standard or higher submissions pretty much pay their way in front of you and your sub gets pushed onto the back burner. Turnaround was 80 when I submitted the last batch of bulk delivered 4/2 and hasn't been marked through receiving. I'd guess the end of this year or beginning of next for any subs sent in the last month. Turnaround times don't really mean jack for this.

https://hybridgrading.com/ https://www.gosgc.com/ It's almost like companies can do things to limit the mass number of cards they receive. Here are two examples.

Probably better than you do considering some of us have large sums of money tied up in cards. Very condescending, but not correct.

mess, I've been hoping to bump my bulk that still wasn't marked received. Delivered 4/2. That's really going to shaft me on money.

I've seen before where they said the estimate is based off of the date received-out the door. So 211 from the date of receiving check in. I'm sure it'll get pushed back some more.

211 days 😂

I get the poker reference, I just don't understand in what context he's applying this in. Whether that's alluding to gambling with CGC not grading 10s or what.

No clue what you are saying.

Literally everyone with bulk or economy. Click on any thread.

They won't even let you bump anymore I don't believe.

LOL

What do you mean, what does it mean. They are opening packages delivered to them the week of the 15th in receiving.

It's applied automatically the first time they bill you. It doesn't display anywhere.

Everything they post or email reminds me of the cable company on a South Park episode.

I'll assume that's a no, so you just come into the card forum to antagonize people. That's funny.

Have you actually subbed cards through CGC? It sucks a** even when traffic isn't that high. 😂

I do as well, but there's a time and place for everything. I grade some rookies in the hope they pop off, but I wouldn't feel any animosity if they forced me to stop. Right now isn't the time nor the place. If they took on a crazy number of subs, but the prices were high enough to also significantly cut submissions I could have seen this working out. As it stands I see an "Out of the frying pan into the fire" scenario about to play out.

If there were enough people subbing to crash the servers I can only imagine the stupid number of cards they're about to receive. They're already backlogged in receiving and TAT appear to have already been stretched beyond what's listed before the announcement. The chain of events PSA set in motion seemed to have gone unnoticed. While price increases should decrease subs in the long run, I doubt this hike was even high enough. In the short term, I just can't begin to understand their line of thought. CGC it appears chose not to act on that information for some time. This price hike isn't even high enough to cut out a tremendous amount. So it's not like volume will decrease that drastically. If bulk/econ went to $25/30 I could see it. The higher tiers should see some decrease now as the prices are high enough I would think to weed out cheap stuff. At some point input is going to have to be reduced below output to work through the backlog but seems to constantly head in the other direction. I foresee another price hike in the coming months. I just can't grasp why not go one and done? The thing that cripples all the companies are the cards under $20. Sports cards, Pokemon, etc. Once you hit the $20-25 threshold cards tend to be fewer and worth more significantly more. At $12.75 you can still make enough to send those cards in and make $10-15 a card. Once you eliminate the profit on those you're removing a sizable chunk of what people are selling.

The part that has me confused is between the price increases, TAT getting so long, and everything else is that their falling into the same mess that I would say most of us came here to get away from. PSA resale is higher, not that I think it should be that way, but it simply is. They're getting caught in the same traps I came here to try to escape. At this point I'm getting close to the point I'd rather just wait for them to start taking subs again and go back there. I subbed a large chunk to CSG as well, but it looks like I'm going to end up in the same situation. I'd honestly rather only be able to submit 25 cards a month or something, have good TAT, and a decent price. I honestly think they're destroying all the selling points they had as a company. I'd prefer to stick with them if I could. I like the cases more, any time I've called customer service they've been good. At the end of the day, if there isn't reliability and accountability it's going to be a situation where money is money. I know from my sales, they still can't pull close to what PSA can and if the services are equal on all other fronts I won't have a choice but to return to the one that brings in the most money even if I don't necessarily like the product or the company.

I've been sending shipments since Dec of last year. Trying to get a rotation of cards coming in and going out about the same time. I can't constantly send half shipments. Wouldn't be cost effective, and I constantly have new merchandise coming in. Not feasible to simply send cards as they arrive for many reasons. Shipping charges being the most obvious.

Their UI like you said is clunky compared to every other one I've used. Even when traffic is low it still runs slowly on populating the fields. I've noticed that as well. That was something that was noticable right off the rip on my first submission 5 months ago. Felt like using windows 98 with Compuserve again 😂

With work, family and kids most of us probably don't have 7 hours to sit at a computer and sub cards....

Wouldn't have time to log that many cards even without the errors.
