Bulk Order - 57 Cards (Pokemon TCG and Pokemon Topps)

Status: Shipped

Order #:

Received: 5/25/22

Shipped: 6/2/22

 

Cannot believe how quick the turnaround was!

Did your Topps cards ship separate from your TCG cards?

They didn't send you a email either? A shipping acknowledgement? 

Nothing.

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.

Meanwhile.. 200-card bulk orders received after this date are already shipped. Sick af, CGC. Looking forward to cancelling this membership.

I know some people who have gotten back their 7/10 and 7/13 bulk orders shipped back...and my 6/25 order is still in g/e/i.  Anyone else have a June order still in g/e/i?

Delivered - 4/3

Received - 6/17

So my bulk sub from 5/3 was charged to my CC a few minutes ago. Should I be expecting my cards soon?  First of 4 orders in the system and I kinda do not wanna be paying for multiple subs with no cards in hand.

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.

I see you are in the 'denial' stage of grief, and as someone who is in 'acceptance' let me just tell you like it is. Centering is subjective, and there are no actual parameters listed in CGC's grading scale. Forget what you know about 60/40 etc. because it does not apply. I've cracked and resubbed cards and have lost an entire point on Centering. Your Centering is what your grader thinks it is that day, accept that for what it is. 

While this may frustrate you, this is acceptable for most of the community and for CGC as well, so rather than yell at a wall and fight the group-think, I'd work within the system and crack and resub with the hopes of a different grader eyeballing it more favorably. 

 

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. 

@PaulS.The new labels show up wavy as well kind sir. Can provide pics after work.

Let's see the back sides

Unless Stevie wonder and I have something in common.. I can’t see how they can possible justify that these two cards are visually (and physically) equal.

The Alakazam looks to have a top-bottom centering issues. 8.5 for that level of top-bottom seems about right, IMO. 

Yes, you’re absolutely right. Well deserved 8.5. My confusion lies within the 8.5 centering with Pikachu. We have an alakazam with a blatantly obvious centering issue. However, what makes the Pikachu’s centering an 8.5?

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)

 

Sub arrived today, expected it tomorrow so nice little surprise.

Another surprise was opening the box to unknowingly find that CGC had changed their labels… 

thanks so much for informing the all of us submitters about such a change…. Not too upset but some communication would be ABSOLUTELY amazing.

Yeah I was not expecting this order to process til late November or early December.

My brother's economy order was received on 05/11/21 and shipped back to him on 09/21/21.

Something weird is happening with processing.

only thing I could think of logically is the priority of the economy orders for those that got hit with the price increase. pretty much if I were CGC, "what would it look like if we INCREASED the prices and made these people wait so long (like the february march submitters)?"

I don't have any economy submissions, personally. But the fact that there are still dozens of people waiting on economy submissions from MONTHS before this one is the most baffling thing. unreal.

3/23 received 163 bulk moved to Grading/quality control today after being in grading/encapsulating for 4 weeks exactly

Annnnd another one. Happy your sub is moving along. Very unhappy that my sub is 1/3 the size of yours and recieved a week before yours, yet still stuck in GEI. Feel even worse for the economy folk. Complete unfair bullt

My 3/17 bulk submission went to shipped today. The grades are rough, but the cards are at least on the way!

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

@PaulS. with all due respect, this is not FIFO (with my measly 59 card bulk sub received 3/15..). Would it be possible to @ another employee that could potentially shed some light? If the tone of my messages comes off as anything other than a plea I apologize in advance.

I just wish the line of submissions made sense. Some people from July getting their Econ subs back already, meanwhile others from May have not - People getting BULK subs back from April, meanwhile others from Feb haven't...

I don't mind waiting- I just wish it made sense. I wish I had a ROUGH timeframe at least...Its impossible to have any type of timeframe when the orders coming in are not in the order they are being shipped out. Disappointing

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.

On 9/21/2021 at 5:10 PM, Ron Churches said:

My 3/17 bulk order has moved into grading/QC now, after spending 3-4 weeks in G/E/I. Little nervous about that status, as that's the one things seem to get weird on. Getting close!

3/15 bulk still in G/E/I.. subs or no subs?

Bulk 51 cards no subs

Received: 3/13

Scheduled for Grading: 4/1

G/E/I: 8/18

Quality Control/Finalized: 9/17

 

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

Bulk w/ subs  59 card

• Delivered: 2/26
• Received: 3/15
• Scheduled for Grading: 7/9
• Grading: pending

anyone else have bulk delivered around the end of Feb with updates??

Anyone know why the subgrades of 9-9-10-9.5 make a card a 9 as opposed to a 9.5?

Yet to move again. Any Ideas?

I would call them. when this happened to me apparently there was an "accounting issue".... no explanation whatsoever. I called and left a message after emailing customer service. nothing wrong with my card. nothing wrong with my account. my sh*t was just sitting there. not moving..

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)
