Packing cards between cardboard
SilentMonkee replied to EpicPulls's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
57 isn't that thick you can do it, but you can break it up as well. Just label one stack 1 of 2, the other stack 2 of 2 or something like that. -
Oh CGC what are you doing!!
SilentMonkee replied to TMWComics's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
I entered over 700 cards for 2 subs the weekend after PSA announced their shutdown. Sent in half of the cards, will send the rest this week. Glad I didn't have to deal with the computer problem. I did have to do a sub for CSG the last couple days, there were a few slow down but for the most part it's pretty smooth. Looks like CGC are dealing with much higher traffic. -
Does Declared Value Change After Time?
SilentMonkee replied to RhodyRetro's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
Same thing happens with video gaming grading. After this happened https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/super-mario-bros-game-breaks-auction-record-sells-660k Someone who sent in the same game for grading is now owe close $1000 insurance. Instead of using 660k, the grading company actually called dealers for their buy price of the game, dealer quotes were between 75k to 95k. So the person had to pay the price as if the game is 75k. This thread touch on upcharge not exactly what you are asking for, but you can see that the rule enforcement is not entirely straight. -
Best storage case/box for CGC slabs?
SilentMonkee replied to Joshua Kim's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
$41 AUD is $32 USD Palms Off $ is AUD. Blackcardx you suggested is cheaper if we are buying only 1 or 2. -
Best storage case/box for CGC slabs?
SilentMonkee replied to Joshua Kim's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
Shipping is cheaper, but the product is more expensive, $45 vs $32. I did some experiment with the shopping cart, if you buy 3 or more, it's cheaper to buy from Australia. It's a $6 cheaper if you are buying only 1. -

SilentMonkee replied to Joshua Kim's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
I was looking for both graded comics and graded card box. Found some here not sure the card one will fit cgc cards. https://www.bcwsupplies.com/slotted-graded-card-box https://www.bcwsupplies.com/graded-comic-book-bin -

Pokemon Tcg—- Show off your cards!!!!
SilentMonkee replied to RallyVincent's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion

Paying for submission
SilentMonkee replied to King Bodean's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
You don't need to do anything, they have your credit card info, I doubt they would do any work without getting paid. Are you referring the document with title "Statement" or the document with title "Credit Card Acknowledgement"? You receive "Credit Card Acknowledgement" when your card gets charged with the amount. And statement for the remaining balance for sub still in the system, subtracting the total on the Credit Card Acknowledgement -
Paying for submission
SilentMonkee replied to King Bodean's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
When it's scheduled for grading, pretty much when it's no longer "Received". -
Where can I print shipping label
SilentMonkee replied to Blingding's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
No, you need to ship it yourself choose your own service, USPS have PO Box address, FedEx and UPS have street address. -
It's your opinion but it's not common sense. Your comment "That seems silly that you care about 700 when your sitting on 5-6 figures worth of cards." is anything but common sense. $700 in my scenario buys speed, which I don't need. That is the same thing as throwing money away, because I gain nothing I want from it. I read that you flip cards for a living, that's not my scenario. I agree standard sub works for you and it's a good deal to pay $6 more to cut 4-5 months of waiting time. I plan to do nothing with my cards. I haven't paid for cards that aren't being graded. The wait time actually means more money in my pocket. 5-6 figures while might seem a lot to some folks, my stock portfolio moves that much when I refresh, so at the end of the day if 1200 of 1st edition base set cards are worth nothing 30 years from now and I saw it wrong, so be it.

I don't need it them back. I am not a pokemon card collector nor a seller, I found a few boxes of 1st edition base set at home while cleaning up last month. I want to get them graded and leave them for my kids as a way of off the book wealth transfer. I have to send in about 1200 cards to grade this year, so doesn't hurt to spread out the cost, close to $20k to get them graded. I have 11 more months to sub 600 more cards so I don't have to renew my membership! I don't have much of dead money in it, just the couple hundreds I spent on the cards back in 1999, the money I have to spend to buy 1200 card saver 1 to put the cards in to submit is more than double that, the grading cost is the dead money going forward. Maybe I will sell enough to offset the grading cost, then use the grading cost to write off gain from selling.

Cgc should stop receiving cards
SilentMonkee replied to Arev's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
People who are spending top dollars on PSA cards likely have a very big collection of PSA cards, if they are likely me, want all the slabs from the same company, they are not going to switch, since PSA cards might not crossover with the same grade, so they are sort of stuck. They would buy CGC cards to crossover. Long term, CGC is going to do much better, it's cheaper and better product all around. For someone who don't have huge slab collection to hang on to and free to go with the best product, of course you want the one that looks better, more consistent, and most importantly something that can standup to other grading service standard. I don't want my 10 to grade a 9 by another service. For that reason, I won't buy a PSA 10 card with top $, because I don't know what the grade would be for another service, and that's the whole point of grading to know what quality card you have, not what quality card you have with a subpar grading standard. -
PSA shut down until July. Will CGC follow?
SilentMonkee replied to MattyIcee's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
I am kind of conflicted, part of me want WhiningCollectibles' cards to be graded so the shining can stop... but the evil part of me kind of started to enjoy the whining, it kind of growing on me... and I haven't even been visiting here for that long. Sorry for the joke but I think it's little funny just want to share! Hope your cards get graded soon! -
