    looks fine with subs, but def not without ... looks horrible with big blank space and it prevents me from subbing a lot to be completely honest.   

     

    the comic arm CGC has changed labels throughout the years, I know once it was thought/bragged about to have a CGC Old Label comic because the thought or perception was they were graded harsher and would likely grade better today.  

    100% agree. Don't think I will be submitting any more cards tbh...

    How can it be since last year when they didn't start taking submissions in February?

    CGC trading cards (Pokemon / MTG)... both companies fall under the same umbrella. Database may be separate (sports vs TCG) but they will most definitely be using the same code and interface. One will surely not release before the other

    Anyone else waiting on Cards to be input from 3/24/2021

    That's not too bad.  I have a bulk order that was received on 4/9 that has been scheduled for grading for the past month plus.  At the time, the expected turn-around time was around 60 days.  My credit card was charged a couple weeks ago but the status hasn't changed.  I'm wondering if they just keep backing up the bulk orders to accommodate the higher tiered services.

    A lot has happened in the card grading world since submitting my cards.  I get it.  I would just like to see some movement since the order has already been paid for.

    lol... your order is moving faster than the pokemon guys that paid for orders back in dec/jan. i know this because i'm one of them

    SGC turn around time is about 2 weeks at $30 level now.

    Unfortunately, you won't see a pop report from CSG for quite some time. If you ask, all they'll tell you is that yes they are going to have one and they will let you know when it is available. The simple fact is that they really haven't graded many cards at all. With the current shortage of the mysterious larger slabs, they are not able to finalize and return people's orders. They do not want to publish a pop report with nothing on it. That would just be one more reason for others to turn away from them. That's not saying they don't have the inventory to create one. Lord knows, they probably have a million cards sitting in their warehouse, but until they can complete orders and get them back to people while reducing the turnaround times, pop reports and registries should be the last thing (and probably is) on their minds.

    I disagree with this. I don’t think it has anything to do with lack of graded cards. CGC customers (magic and Pokémon) have been waiting months for a report. You can’t tell me there is not an extensive catalog of graded items for those products. There is such a large backlog right now that it is not their priority. They prob have their devs sorting packages at the moment. I can’t wait to see a pop report but like the larger slabs, it will be coming “soon.”

    Received 5/27... current TAT listed at 15 working days.

    In regards to sub-grades: "There is no additional turnaround time for the Express and WalkThrough tiers."

    Scheduled for grading 6/2... TAT for express still listed at 15 working days

    When does the clock start

    I feel that regret.  I'm actually looking through my top cards right thinking if I can risk sending them to PSA for $300.  Sounds crazy, but right now I've got absolutely nothing new coming in from graders and the poor value on SGC and HGA makes me consider it.  I chose CSG because I thought they would prioritize their services properly and I'd pay a little extra to get good service.  Bulk orders of junk wax are absolutely killing grading.  

    And now Beckett is suspending some services... if CSG doesn't do the same their backlog will be outrageous
