Can we spot the issue here? Inconsistency after inconsistency… how can I be home to sign for my generic 8.5 slabs/registered mail if you my submission isn’t updated to shipped? C’mon now.. this is the second submission that this happened with. If I didn’t have USPS informed delivery I would have never known. With the previous submission I had to call to have things updated (WEEKS LATER) so a buyer could look up a cert number that wasn’t showing up in the CGC system. Apologies for b!tching but I’ve yet to have a pleasant sub experience after seven or so of them here.

Be prepared for for what you don’t want, it’s going to happen 🤷🏽♀️. Bulk received 5/3 - (37 no subs/24 subs) card charged 10/1 and 10/5. GEI - since 9/30 (subs) and 10/4 (no subs) Currently approaching the end of the 5-week mark. According to an email my cards have been graded, pending encapsulation. If they arrive before December I’ll be surprised. Had 2 subs paid for in full before receiving anything back. WARNING: There will be scuffs on your cases. There might be red sharpie circles on your cases, indicating something inside of the case that they didn’t bother fixing. There will be inconsistent grades, especially for centering. 8.5 is the lowest centering I’ve heard, why the f—k is there so many inconsistent centering grades? Your cases will be dusty, have a microfiber cloth or two on hand. You may even receive your cards back while the stage indicates “grading quality control/finalized”.. Lastly, you will probably receive better grades on 25 year old mint Japanese cards than minty modern. Expect the worst, my friend.

Kubler-Ross should have added ‘confusion’ as a 6th stage 🤷🏽♀️. That’s pretty much where I’m at. I’ve heard that CGC also uses technology to assist with their grading. If computers don’t view cards subjectively, which part of the grading process is technology being used..? General curiosity here as cracking and resubbing lower value cards at a more expensive price isn’t feasible.

so can we actually get some sort of explanation from someone at CGC for this? I’ve gotten these back in the same submission about a week or so ago. The frustration with this is beyond belief. How the HELL are these both 8.5 centering? Not only does this bring the value of the cards down, but it’s honestly disheartening. and this is just the centering… we won’t even talk about how terrible the backside edges of the alakazam look..

UPDATE Delivered - 2/26 Received - 3/15 SFG - 7/9 GEI - 9/1 Grading/QC - 9/28 Shipped - 9/30: 7-card no subs “Shipped” - 10/1: 52-card w/ subs Safe to assume they’ll be shipped out next week as there’s no tracking yet (on top of previous subs being marked as shipped before they’re actually physically shipped). Anyone know why tf things always get shipped out towards the end of the week? Also, hopefully the economy orders received before my bulk get compensated for their troubles. TAT - 31 weeks (and counting)

100% agree. Sent my bulk out in February. Recieved March 15th. Hit G/E/I on September 1st.. and you’re telling me that there’s people’s bulk submissions received in April (1 month after mine..) and are already getting cards back?? Honestly, wtf? @PaulS.???????? Transparency is really not that difficult of a concept.

Bulk 59 cards (52 w/subs + 7 no subs) Recieved: 3/15 SFG: 7/9 (not sure why tf it’s so far off..) G/E/I: 9/1 Time since “Delivered”: 6 months and 23 days.. 😒 Called and paid for submission via phone in hopes of getting something back soon. Might be wishful thinking but would be great to actually get a card back in the next month. Side rant: Not quite sure how sub-grades add 5 additional days to the turnaround when overall grades are based off of centering, surface, edges, and corner scores regardless. Literally makes no sense (and the cost of them is another topic with no rationale). Does it take 5 business days to add sub grade to the label? Anyone care to shed light on this? @admin

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)
