Those cards look to be vending machine stickers. I don't think CGC grades those.

Here's what I'm assuming - The competitive sets can only have 1 of each card, so when you have multiples you should choose the best one. When you added the 2nd card the first card was deleted and replaced with the 2nd card. The other card can be used in a different competing set, like a Charmander set, I think.

I'm not really familiar with exactly what the registry is about, but I went ahead and added most of my cards anyways, (and made it to the top 5 ranking at the moment, I see ) I was browsing the comics CGC registry forum to try to figure out what kinds of contests there might be, and have a quote from the OP of the "It's.....The 2022 Registry Awards!!!" thread. It sounds like something for the trading card enthusiasts and collectors that will be a lot of fun. I have no idea why any real collector would add cards to their registry that they don't own, but I suspect that the percentage of users doing so is far less than the OP of this thread is suggesting. At least I hope so.

If this is an authentic card, with a grading scale of 1-10, I can't imagine why CGC would not grade this. A grade of 1 or 2 would be a heavily damaged card, which this certainly is. It looks to me like it had been stored somewhere damp previously. JMO tho'. Reminded me of the "Washing Machine Charizard".

I'm curious what constitutes "outside of tolerances" for off center grades on the old labels?

The Charizard is a beautiful card. Love those green labels. If you ever decide to sell/trade, I would be interested!

I figured it out ages ago, seriously ages ago. Some submissions are being cherry-picked based upon what cards are in them. That delay in the pop report...again uh huh...is obviously cause the stats aren't up to par and they need to pad numbers on certain cards and sets. What they call "throwing more resources at the project", is code for "more particular card grades needed" . Makes perfect sense in my world. ‎ Yours truly, Miss Conspiracy Theorist, PhD and LoL.

Well, having gone through a similar situation, you will have your work cut out for you. Buy a bottle of PLast-X or something similar and a box or two of Kleenex. I found microfiber cloths tended to leave micro scratches, but the Kleenex didn't. Plan a few nights of movie watching, and start polishing those slabs. The light scuffs will clear off after a couple of minutes, the deeper scuffs and scratches will take many repeated efforts. I had about 45 that I had to work on, end result after many hours was about 6 that still have visible marks, but because the scuff indents are clear you don't really notice them unless you tilt the slab and create a reflection. I know the disappointment of waiting with anticipation, and receiving flawed product back. Sorry this happened to you.

It will be interesting to see the CGC pop report when it finally is published. The10's will be few and far between with the WOTC era cards, I would imagine.

Wow... Just wow. I hope you're calling them daily.

From a Facebook post.

You sent this economy order in with a standard order, in a ST marked box, yes? It does seem crazy fast, and entirely unfair to those who submitted economy orders months ahead of you. Not that you have anything to do with it, but it still appears that submitting lower tiers with a higher tier card order is a great way to jump to the front of the grading line.

This is asinine. My 2/12 economy shipped on 8/10. PM @PaulS. and have him check on it for you. I'm sure he will get you taken care of.
