  1. CGC does not mark down for print lines. I have a perfect 10 with 3 print lines. I would argue that modern English card grades seem to be inconsistent due to the unfortunate nature that the printing quality on English cards remains lackluster and overall poor. I wouldn't necessary pass the blame onto CGC. I think they are doing their best to maintain standards, with the cards they're given. I agree, submitting English cards is not ideal even if they appear near flawless by the naked eye. I do also agree more transparency is good, release margins and common flaws associated with English vs. Japanese etc. would be awesome and well received.
  2. Impossible to know for certain without examining the card in person. They could be specks of dust, camera artifacts, or texture layer flaws. The surface issue is more than likely on the frontside somewhere in the texture ink layer.
  3. After your annual renewal, you will have $150 grading credit added to your account. There is no way to look into the amount you have left currently without reaching out to customer service. V/R, Lord Iron
  4. Below is my opinion and I’m am not associated with CGC Cards. English cards are notorious for bad print quality. Also realize CGC utilizes cutting edge imaging that looks at the cards under UV & Infrared light showing imperfections in the surface (more than likely in the texture pattern). Just a quick glance at the high res, I seen some spots that may be imperfections due to the printing process. Very Respectfully, Lord Iron
  5. I've never had trouble with FedEx. In my opinion they do a wonderful job, and the added benefit of partnering with them allows a certain level of additional protection through insurance of your collectibles. Only cavate is that there is always a required signature at delivery, so make sure you are home on delivery day 😉
  6. Same. My order was “scheduled for grading” and now is “received” curious as to why? Maybe system glitch?
  7. It’s really bizarre the inconsistency here. Not sure the thought behind the scale. Official CGC response?
  8. CGC, We need transparency. When delays happen give updates to your community. If deadlines aren’t met it looks worse to remain silent than to address the specific issues to the community. Communicate. - A Patient Fan
  9. I was wondering the same thing. Can we get a CGC official response??
  10. I’ve recently upgraded my membership level, however it’s been more than a week and my discount for submissions has not been applied. It was 5% with the apprentice level, and after upgrading all submissions are full price. Please advise.
  11. How the hell did you get FedEx to deliver to a PO Box?? Lol.. Lack of attention to detail on your part.. Read instructions very carefully. When in doubt reach out… ask questions.
