Hi there! I know CGC grades cards that are slightly miscut, but this card is....a bit more than that. I opened a Celebrations ETB the other day and this card fell out. Amazingly the sealed promo still came as well, but I wanted to see about grading this one for authenticity and having it protected. I have attached a front and back picture, as well as a close up of the cut, and can attach more if needed. I just don't want to send it and have it rejected. If this card would be able to be graded, please let me know any extra steps I would need to take to ensure everything is noticed and graded correctly. Thank you so much!

130 bulk submission, arrived 3/26, was shipped today!! WOO-HOO!! I did check ahead to see if I received any 10's...and I unfortunately did not. However, more than 75% I seems recieved a 9 or 9.5 at least! I didn't dive too deep but was curious on the rough percentage of what grades I was getting back. Excited to see which ones got the high grades in person!

My 3/26 bulk sub of 130 cards went into Grading/Quality Control an hour ago!! WOOOOO!!

Wait they gave you a timeframe? And it was 4 more months at that??

Well, hopefully my bulk that was received 3/26/21 will enter that step soon too...

Wow. Economy huh? I thought they used to not do FIFO (first in first out) but they since changed that as of like May or so? Interesting...

You guys should check the estimated turn around times on bulk and economy every day. How much they can and do change every week if not daily is quite interesting. Last I knew economy was over 200 days, now it is at 166 and bulk is at 210. It changes constantly and by quite a bit usually.

That's pretty upsetting for people paying more or are waiting for submissions submitted months ago. That doesn't go in hand with their "first in first out" motto.

If you call their accounting and ask you can do so. I did with my submissions just so I didn't have to worry about it down the line.

My 130 bulk lot that was received in their system on 3/26 has now entered the G/E/I stage as of this morning. Let's go!!

This is very exciting now to see some people having bulk submissions from mid March seeing movement! Can't wait to see movement on my 130 card submission from the end of March soon enough hopefully!

Wow, I think you just got really lucky. But congrats still! I have a large bulk submission that they entered in as received on March 26th, so I'm hoping soon enough I'll see some movement. I'm excited for when I get this back though. 130 slabs sounds like a good time!

Man...this making it really sink in how long it could still be until my bulk received 3/26 starts grading. And I think the bulk TAT estimate just jumped to over 180 days. I mean....I'm guessing probably October or November

I'm not sure if it was noted in here or if others noticed...but it looks like there is a charge now for Imaging for once the card is encapsulated. If you sent in before this change it looks like you are good as my first submission that is on it's way back to me has images available to view and I never paid a separate fee for it. So....I wonder if this will help other orders move through quicker as not everyone will pay extra per card for imaging, which I think was an extra $5 if I recall seeing it correctly.

My buddy who just got a bulk submission back of 126 cards didn't get a single 10...I'm hoping I have better luck with my bulk submission when that one gets all said and done.

Economy submission received 2/9 - 11 cards no subs - Finalized/Imaged/Shipped as of a few hours ago!

Gotcha! Thanks!

Maybe someone on here can help answer something for me. If my submission is supposed to be in Encapsulation for over a few days now...that would mean it was all graded correct? So then...the grades should be available to view for that submission...right? I don't want to spoil all of them don't get me wrong, I just check to see if they are at least in there and everything.

Mine did not have subs. I asked Paul, and he told me that back at this point economy and bulk were treated the same, whereas now it is FIFO (first in first out). Which makes sense

Really?? Kind of upsetting I paid for a higher tier (Economy) and it was received one day later and is still in the encapsulation stage. Paid for it to be faster and currently it'll be slower... However, congrats on having your cards on their way back! Exciting times right there!

My economy submission received 2/9 is still in encapsulation. I wish I chose bulk and sent more cards in for the same cost since the timing is going to be about the same. At least they are working on them!

I just want to clarify the glitch as I am not seeing a whole lot of information about it. So it seems that for everybody, any submissions they had went to whatever the next step is compared to whatever they were at before this glitch correct? So received status went to scheduled for grading, scheduled went to grading, and so on. Is that correct?

To help show some light for those who submitted in bulk, my order of 130 that was received 3/26/21 is now showing SCHEDULED FOR GRADING as of earlier today! Very exciting!!

But I thought the turnaround time was based on whatever the state of their grading is in overall on each given day? For example when I submitted my Economy submission and it was received the turnaround time was less than 80 days if I am not mistaken. So if that's the case mine would be complete already. However, from what I understood the turnaround time estimates are current to where if it said today "75 days estimated turnaround" for Economy, if you have a submission currently there then it should be around 75 business days in total that your submission is with them. Again, I'm at the point that overall it is what it is when it comes to the turnaround times. I'm just confused why they didn't just leave the estimate where it was, and go with a "safe rather than sorry" approach.

I just realized that with the estimated turnaround times for Bulk and Economy being lowered...my Economy submission that was received on 2/9 and is still at "scheduled for grading" has been there about 100 business days. Why would they lower the Economy estimate then down to 75 business days? That's not even close. Yes, I know full well it is an estimate and not a guarantee. But, why lower it is my question?
