    There is not a single aspect of the backup that is Paul's fault, but he has chosen as his career to put himself between the lies of CGC and their paying customers.
    I have to deal with Paul's empty answers here and on Facebook (can't even complain in private Pokémon groups, he found me there), so I will complain about Paul as well.
    On top of the insane amount of nonsense happening in house, posts like these (pictured) are becoming more and more prevalent in the private Pokemon communities.

    (broken slabs, scuffed/dents from trash packing material *that Paul claimed was tested to be better, hair/fuzz inside slabs)

    I fully understand that with the increase in subs there will be an increase is accidents/qc, but the ratio is skewed with CGC.

    Quality has gone down the toilet while prices have shot through the roof. Run while you can.

    I haven’t had that bad experience with CGC yet, knock on wood. I’ve submitted 4 times with them and all have been about what what I expected. ( 2 Standard , 1 Econ , 1 Bulk ) . January Bulk and 2nd Standard sub is on its way back this week. I expected to wait this long. You should see the wait for PSA , my August Bulk hasn’t even hit grading yet. All the grades were about what I expected. No damaged slabs yet. If I were to give some tough criticism, it would be on the return packaging. My first sub it was very nicely packaged in foam slots. Now, they just put thin cardboard paper between each slab, which doesn’t seem very protected. Hope they change back but I’m sure it saves them tons of time and money.

    Any chance that an admin can read this and shed some light? 
     

    my standard TCG 10 card sub

    Delivered: 4/5

    received: 6/17

    Scheduled for grading: 6/22

    grading: 6/29

    Shipped: wtf?

    How can the same type of sub be delivered OVER A MONTH before this completed sub and still not be done? I’m a bit confused at this.  (Hoping for your good grades btw Kylez450)

    Yeah idk how mine got thru so quick. I didn’t send it with any express or walkthrough. I assume that since I paid to require a signature that it was thrown in on top or in a separate pile? I also wrote Standard all over the box. My 1/28 bulk has been stuck in scheduled for grading for 40 days , so it’s not all my orders ):

    I forgot to write standard on a submission delivered 5/25, but after it gets opened eventually, will the turnaround after it gets opened be faster than the turnaround time for economy?

    Yes , mine went into scheduled for grading 2 days after it was opened. The downside is that you didn’t write Standard on the side of the box . So, You’ll probably be waiting a 2-3 months instead of a 3-4 weeks before it’s opened since it’s with bulk/economy subs now.

    Just an FYI on my order update... 

    Bulk order (92 total/24 with subs) received 1/18, went into Scheduled for Grading May 24thish and just shipped. Never went into the grading phase, but all cards and grades are up for me to see. Maybe a system error or it went through in like a couple hours, cause I check the status every day lol. 

    Good to know! My bulk received 1/28 has been in scheduled for grading since May 28th , 4 days after yours was. Hopefully mine bypasses all that too 😬

  5. Ended up calling them because no movement for weeks. Turns out my Economy is ready to ship, but hasn’t. Also, my bulk has been graded, and is in the encapsulation stage. Seems like the status page is falling behind.
