I mean a hard cap on each account per month for a few months until the backlog gets mostly cleared through, realistically speaking unless you're a dealer there's no reason people need to spam absurd amounts of cards through the system and can't wait. I turn down work all the time if I'm slammed. Then slowly ease up on the cap until they can figure out their throughput vs subs. Really the info should already be there.

I would think the best course of action is to impose a restrictive cap on submissions now, eat at the backlog and then ease up until they find The Sweet spot of submissions coming in and going out. They will never be able to get it exact but they could probably get it within a 10-day window in either direction.

I don't think they're necessarily lying, it's just as other shorter turn around time submissions come in they have to keep pushing it back to maintain the decent TAT on the higher tiers. Just without a limit on submissions I'm not sure they'll ever catch up.

Eh, got the Vmax for like $65. It looks like a good contender, centering decent, nothing obvious that jumps out at me under 2x magnifying lamp. Willing to gamble on it. Rockets are all NM with a common set in same condition. Was going to sell set with holos graded, same with 1st ed rocket set/heros/challenge. Figured if set doesn't sell that way just part them out. Either way got it all at a decent price. I'm cool with waiting 6 months and being charged at the time of grading. It's old stuff, price shouldn't swing much. My issue is paying initially just to have it forced back endlessly. Have a finite amount of money and a stack of about 250 more cards like those that I would like to get done. Most of my money now is through sealed products and sports cards, but the money is better served elsewhere in the mean time on other product. I'm just saying if someone sent 2-300 through bulk and have thousands tied up in limbo I most certainly can understand the frustration.

Extra money. People are most likely seeing the TAT on Bulk and sending it through Standard or above forcing the existing bulk orders into a never ending loop of getting pushed back. At this point I don't think they're getting slammed with Bulk so much as everything else and it's getting put on the back burner. Bulk/Econ to me is just icing on the cake. Most of the ones I buy with the intention of sending Standard+ and reselling quickly for decent money are Base set zards or some other higher dollar card I can get at a cheap price. IE Other things I might send through Econ/Standard if the TAT is decent and I'm willing to wait longer for for the price/time. From this point forward, yes it's become apparent Bulk/Econ are doo on TAT. If it said Econ with 30 TAT I'd be sending these in that tier. If I know Econ is 8 months out, no I'm not going to I'll use Standard if I think I can still make enough or not grade at all. Obviously that's out of the question now but an estimated time of a 1 1/2 or 2 at $15 a card makes sense at the time of submission. On the same note, I wouldn't necessarily want to have the cards and money tied up unexpectedly for an extended period. End of the world? No. Annoying? Yes.

I don't think anyone is relying on bulk to make money as a get rich quick scheme, but every time it's pushed back I become a little more aggravated at being charged up front and having money tied up for much longer than anticipated. Pokemon is nothing compared to Optic or Hoops in regards to return on sales for sealed product. Generally speaking pokemon has become an afterthought but I definitely get where people are coming from with the submissions that are already paid for that keep getting extended where as others aren't out of pocket on the fees. Yes, I see plenty of things when looking for realized prices on raw cards that I think to myself, "What Bozo sent this in."

The cost of the cards themselves + grading fees being tied up indefinitely is outweighing whatever increase in value the cards initially would've gained through grading. As most people don't like floating a company money for 6+ months I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't in violation of the FTC 30-day rule. I've seen that picture a few times now. Almost 400% increase isn't close. So to be fair most of the complaining is justifiable to some degree. It's subjective to an extent such as one day compared to four but I'm not sure any reasonable person would consider 30 business days close to 111. ting on people for being frustrated isn't really much better than reading about their frustration when it's justifiable. Everyone isn't financially in the same place, we don't know what everyone else's motives for grading may be so a massive increase may be fine for some and not for others. So seeing it from each other's perspectives would go a long way. I would think limiting submissions might be the key here until they get a handle on it.

Lol, I never understood that. Of all the mess to stock up on toilet paper would be near the bottom for me.

Indeed I did.

Sent in an express through "Quick Submit" just to see how long it slows down the process. 5 cards, still not showing received or anything as of today and was delivered 2/19. Might be a service to shy away from in the future. If it takes that long for 5 cards, no telling how long it would take for 50. Popped up in received on 3/2-3/3

I'm surprised they haven't limited bulk /econ to X cards per month or designed a queue where there a set time to mail cards in based off submission order. Cut TAT down to X days from when they get them so they aren't hanging onto cards for so long.

I really like the art on this card.

CGC didn't take long. I feel like it might be a little bit of a stretch to think CSG could catch up in resale to the others as quickly on sports cards as I feel like the market is different. With tat being so long at others it may happen faster than what I'm thinking. I'm guessing 6-12 months. I think a pop report/reg would speed it along as I know a lot of people collect for registry and master sets of players.

Some of the ones I had hiding in the closet for years.

@PaulS. It's cool, was just hoping they might. Is CSG behind on receiving as it's the start of the service and I'm assuming packages flooding in? Sent a package through USPS for Express and it said delivered on Sat, but I didn't think you guys got weekend deliveries. Kind of worried me when it said delivered.

Means it's fake

Looks like a roller indent

It worked after a minute. I'm excited.

Before they get slabbed up elsewhere. There doesn't currently appear to be a forum at the moment but was wondering if there would be consideration for grading these in the future. They're rather hard to come by and I have 10/23 card set with mantle being the biggest name. 1959 Bazooka Topps set. Most people would define them as cards even though they're hand cut and oversized. Currently it looks like they're only doing normal sized cards but would like the slabs to match between the cards I'm sending in today and these if it's something that will be done in the future. I'd rather not drop the money to have it done twice. Thanks.

Wanted to hop in and say I appreciate it as well. I can get heated at time when money is involved but I know it has to be difficult. Finding qualified people and even from an overhead standpoint with cards being a feast and famine type market. I'm sure it can't be easy to dump a lot of money into a booming market now as it might pull back at any point and no one wants to be overstaffed or mid upgrade when something like that goes down. Trying to determine the right middle ground to deal with the high demand now without shafting yourself in the future has to make this trying even without all of us complaining. Have to say you're a better man than I with your ability to respond to some things. @mattyzeepgam I'm right there with you. Hard to know what's coming and where to put future expectations or to adjust my strategy. I'm sure on any given day the submissions vary wildly enough to make it near impossible to give an accurate long term anticipated turn around. We may be asking questions that don't have an answer, as I've asked the same thing.

I haven't actually been able to submit. Once I get to the page that says mail in the HQ I can't hit next

I flip and collect a lot as well but I've run across multiple others on ebay that have graded .50 commons with a bin of like $50. It's something that I'd be surprised if they ever sold. It's not like 50-100 cards but in the thousands. I grade my base set holos, but I wouldn't grade all of my base set commons. Some things just don't make sense to grade imo. Spending $10 to grade a card worth <$1. I just slap them in a binder.

3763375010 Its a CD Promo, not base set. The scans in cgcverify match the card. Was mislabeled, hoping grades are correct and the name is just wrong. Would it need to be regraded?

I feel you, mine isn't as nice as those but I was like... Damn, so close.

This was some good entertainment at least.
