That's wild bro.

Useless question that's already been asked over 9000 times got a useless answer. How shocking!

6 seems just a touch high.

I guarantee whoever's poor managerial skills that got us here doesn't have their check stuck in GEI or an "estimated" time frame on their pay day.

That scares me lol. I have been there over a month already. I was hoping it was near the end.

You're the second or third person to say that in regards to him. Seems to be a theme here. I also agree with your thoughts. People defend them with the "estimate" part. Even by definition "estimate" is close, approximate, ballpark, rough guess, etc. "Estimate" doesn't condone pulling a wild number out of your and slapping it up on the TAT page. Going 2-3x is brutal. The worst part is, they haven't done anything to limit subs in any meaningful way. Limit subs per account, per month. Boom. Instead they backed themselves into a corner where the only thing you can really use this company for is cheap mess cards. For $30 standard at 67 or 87 or whatever it is I could pay that for SGC and have it back in three weeks AND sell it for a higher return. No one is sweating them if they take a week extra, I agree. I'll use my order for example. They told me TAT was at 80 days when I sent it in 4/2. Talked to them(Paid and called July 26th). CS rep said it would ship no later than Aug 16th. I'm currently at 104 business days and was told it would be about Sep 24th. This is after I've paid a thousand bucks for the order. Makes me feel like I got shafted and they didn't even have the decency to spit on it first. TLDR, I Agree. Think you've very accurately explained how myself and others feel.

How is that not even close to accurate? If it's a $2000 card, I can afford $200 to have it graded in a week for maximum return. If it's a $300-400 I can run it through SGC for $30 and have it back in a few weeks with decent return. CSG prices have become too high for the length of time they take and the return. Sub $100 cards at $12 apiece is the only thing that makes sense for strictly selling purposes. The black inserts aren't the cleanest, as I have a few cards with oddly cut inserts, but as long as the person buying is alright with their service, that's all that matters to me. Example, I sold an SGC 10 Premier Level Joe Burrow Select silver for $250 and other have gone for 200+. Last one CSG on ebay is a 9.5 with one 10 subgrade sold for $113.

Except that people normally disregard the one off sales like that. If 20 base set 9 Zards sold for $1500 yesterday, and one sold for $1800 no one's going to give a mess. Your one buy for over fmv isn't going to change the market. Same with one selling at $1200 if all the others sold at $1500. Unless you manage to shill bid them all, or have an item that doesn't have any competing listings, your purchase is just a drop in the bucket.

CSG exist almost exclusively for low-end cards. Card is expensive? Drop $200 for PSA. Card is mid range, go SGC $30. Card is cheap, CSG bulk it is.

I don't remember. It was delivered April 2nd I think. I care less about it still being in GEI than I do about being billed so far away from it getting shipped.

I paid over a month ago, and it still hasn't moved out of G/E/I lol. Like what the actual .

Someone shill bidding that doesn't know the seller takes quite a risk to try to pump the comps on their own item. Defects, or getting stuck with it. Wouldn't make a lot of sense. Sure, selling with PWCC is fine. I'm not going to buy from them though lol.

I do this with shipping bulk on ebay, never had a problem. Scotch tape is hard as hell to remove without potentially damaging the cards. So as he suggested, painters tape and fold it over to create a tab.

Feel like it was common knowledge that they did, considering some of the absurd prices things went for compared to all other sales history.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would reseal chilling reigns. Those packs go for under MSRP, or sit on a shelf forever as the set is so poor.

Have one order that's been paid for and graded for over a month according to CS. Think they're either share the sonic welder between services or don't have enough employees to run them. As the bottleneck at the moment seems to be getting them out the door as well.

Yeah, Ive about had it with this mess. They told me an order was graded, billed me a $1k. Order has sat in the G/E/I for a month. If I wanted to give loans for a month+ I'd go open a bank, not be here selling cards. PSA charges same day as shipped, much better way to do it.

I think it's quite the stretch to consider it freaking out when you have expectations and paying $1k a month in advance before it's ready to be shipped back. Maybe most people don't like getting bent, but it's cool if you do. No judgement.

Even "GMA" if you want to consider that a grading service had a backlog when CSG started. Estimates are wildly_fanciful_statement, when you call customer service they feed you wildly_fanciful_statement, and I think I've had issues with three orders out of six. One was a damaged card when it was slabbed, two were incorrect labels... The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Doesn't matter if the grading is good, or what the finished product looks like if you alienate your customers by bending them over and plowing them at every turn. Their decisions aren't oriented towards putting the customer first.

The most effective way use this form is to avoid it altogether.

When I called two weeks ago to get an idea on how long it would take after paying they told me the 16th was the latest ship date for it. Here we are on the 12th with only two more working days before the end of day on the 16th. I don't see it happening if it still has to go through another phase. I just don't get it.

I'll just be happy to be out of this grading mad house. My PSA sub from 9 months ago is almost finished, SGC are all back to me, just waiting on this one from CSG and one more from CGC then I'm back to raw cards 🤣

Paid two weeks ago, but cards are still in the GEI phase. Is this the norm, or are they charging at different intervals for different orders? I originally assumed it would be closer to when they shipped.

Sounds about right for this company tbh.

My suggestion would be to go through and pull all HOF players first that you recognize and then work backwards from there separating them by year and set. Then do some research after that and go back through them pulling any you missed the first time. That's how I normally do it, and a lot of the time it seems pretty daunting at first but just spend an hour or so each day. Try not to burn yourself out on it.
