  1. Sorry but this is unacceptable, many sites have thousands of visitors at the same time, some many more than that and they don't just die on you. Maybe with the extra money they are going to charge they can beef up the site so it doesn't happen again. 36 hours and I have logged 34 cards, this is nuts.

    On the plus side, the shipping kit is really nice. The card holders are great and if you want to buy more the price is very good.  The penny sleeves are very cool. They have a lip to them so you can use its to extract the card from a holder without needing to dig a finger into it.  Great idea.

    As for your submission, good luck.  If you only submit cards from the past few years then it seems like most of them get graded, but if you want to go back 15-20 years or more then it's going to be a crapshoot.  Brent mentioned YouTube videos at the top of this thread so I started watching the and it's incredible.  Saw a really reputable guy get a pile of raws back on his submission including ARod rookies and Griffey rookies.  Really hard to figure why they were flagged.

    the video also mentioned they had already been graded but they cracked the case and now they got tossed out as trimmed

    I sent in 5 cards, got 2 graded, an 84-85 OPC hockey card was labelled as SU (Service Unavailable due to it not fitting in the holder) and 2 were EV (evidence of trimming/alteration).  Those two were a 96-97 Bowman's Best that I pulled back then and has been in plastic since and a 2000 Bowman Brady that I just found in a box of Bowman that I had opened all the packs, but not pulled the Brady cards.  It was just sitting in an opened pack in the original box.  I was sending it in to compare the grading to what PSA gave me on another one.  No question that their system of finding altered cards doesn't work.  I hope they fix this soon because the two cards that got graded are amazing looking.

    Wow on the trio, nice card. 

  4. I sent in a bunch of 1976 football, I am seeing videos on YT of grade reveals and a lot of people are getting card back marked trimmed or service unavailable mostly on cards 25 years or older. They claimed you had a flaw in your system that was kicking these cards out.... can you fill us in about seeing a problem with older cards being kicked back? I am a bit worried that many of my cards will not be graded. If they are not graded am I charged for them? Thank you for any info you can provide. 

  5. I wish the text (player info/set) was centered on the labels without subgrades, to fill it out better, sort of like it is on the CGC Pokemon cards. Just fills it out a bit better and make it look better to my eye.
