Says that on mine as well delivered April 1st. Pretty sure it's saying the same for all of us, wouldn't sweat it too much.

Same for me

The border on these full arts should actually be slightly thinner on the bottom/top than the sides I believe. Wonder if it's because it isn't as thick it gets knocked? 🤔

The submission page tells you the estimated time? If you mean how long between when it's delivered and marked received there are numerous threads under this one about walkthrough times.

It's becoming an issue of where to go for me tbh. I like CGC cases, customer service honestly has been decent when I've needed them. SGC has priced me out for all but the most expensive cards, BGS is ehh, PSA has stopped, and I have a stupidly large pile of cards ranging from $75-100. I'm just hoping and praying they will change something to stop TAT from growing out of control. I get bulk being lower priority but to push it back continuously with little to no increase in other tiers is unfortunate. If I use standard I doubt I could actually make anything off them and the increase I would have to make to the price on resell is something I don't think the buyers would pay. They simply aren't valuable enough to make the leap from bulk to standard even though most are closer to the high end of bulk cut off. Economy prices I might be able to get away with but there's no benefit as TAT are just as bad as bulk.

Yes, considering the one man show GMA was backlogged, PSA, BGS, and SGC were all already in the ter when CGC started. Didn't take a genius to see what was coming. I'd even go so far as to say it would be pretty hard for someone that was totally braindead to not see how that was going to go in terms of the card market. It just keeps climbing higher so more people sending more and more in. What surprised me was that they didn't do anything to avoid getting just like the other services. Look at HGA. They limit subs, you have to wait in a queue, if you're too far back then you're sol but it keeps TAT on par, and they aren't losing out on business because they're taking on the maximum amount of work they can actually perform. There's no point estimating X days to take 300%+ longer to complete it. All that accomplishes is having a bunch of pissed off customers.

I would assume most people that grade would be selling. I don't grade my PC unless its something expensive and that's for insurance purposes. Binders, one touch cases, or anything else do the job just fine. Who would pay to have people put a number on cards to raise value if they didn't plan on liquidating them or need to know the value? I can't imagine anyone grading cards just as something to do for sh*ts and giggles.

To be fair, the cost/tat doesn't make sense. If you have a card that exceeds bulk value you might as well use standard, as the price difference is negligible for a fraction of the tat. In that aspect it hits a weird middle ground that I couldn't imagine anyone even using it anyway.

Must be nice if they deliver your mess right, I've had USPS delay 12 packages in the last 3 months anywhere from a week-month. I think they've only delivered about 5/300 actually on time. Anytime I use UPS or FedEx it shows up on time. I started using anyone other than USPS for any eBay sales over $100 so I would stop getting complaints about delivery times.

Best I've gotten was a 7.5, but not from a binder. The ornaments they shipped the special delivery Pikachu with put a nice dent in it.

They're probably behind. CGC trading cards is almost a month behind. So maybe a few weeks?

It'll be more than 111 at the current rate. My last bulk is in grading and it was marked received second week of December.

I've been slowly giving the bags away. Kept some of the boxes. Got like 30 from two stores. The ones that got shipped like 2 months back were all CTC as far as I know.

Okay?

You look like me when it dropped the first day a few months back 😂

Hope, faith, expectation, or any other synonym.

Have you been to the CGC trading cards forum? I wouldn't put a lot of faith in that.

I'll have to contact them then, because I was billed for mine.

Most of what is getting rejected are cards that are oversized by the tiniest amount from the factory. Doubt anyone is measuring every card they send in to see if it's exactly sized.

Normally silvering on the old sets, as they used some dull blades and blew out the edges. Not sure if CGC does it, but I know others take it into consideration.

Yes, they still charge. It's rather annoying.

Well, the point was to cut out all of the cheap people send in. At $75 a pop, I think it will.

Registered normally takes 4 days for me. Distance probably isn't super relevant unless it's ground.

Helps if you eat fried chicken or bacon first before touching the face of the card.

FedEx or UPS. I've mailed about 500 packages and received about 200 in the last two months. It's recovered a bit since Christmas but still blows. Took 8 days to get a package from me to a customer in Florida. I could have driven it there in under 6 hours.
