    Interesting information from customer service

    Customer service has a new clarification from management: 

    The turn times are supposed to be based on day received NOT the day logged. Customer service person said there was a clarification received this week. Supposedly, packages received on specific days are filed away per day. So if USPS says the got package on 3/24 (my date), the turn date should be X business days (depending on service level) from then. 

    She also said that this notion that putting one express order in same box with rest will not change the turn time on the non-express cards. The box will indeed be opened earlier, but only the ones that you paid more for will be done more quickly. 

    We'll see if any of this turns out to be true...

    Hope this is true about when the turn around time actually starts. Think people will be a lot happier knowing the clock starts sooner than the "Recieved" in the computer.... Then again people will always find something to moan about.

    Sub-grading thoughts

    You also have the option to get a "perfect" 10. If you don't apply subs, you can not get the designation, and would only get a pristine 10.

    When I posted this I actually didn't know that. Think I seen that either elsewhere on this forum or twitter, but either way that is good info to know. Especially when CSG value catches up to the other, " Perfect 10" will add another tier of value for sellers, buyers, and collectors.

    Sub-grading thoughts

    in Sports Card Grading

    Being new to the hobby and ultra new to grading (1st submission ever this week) I was hoping to get some perspective on sub-grading. I sent in 10 cards all with sub-grading in hopes to learn more on how cards will get graded. Now for the question or dilemma.

     

    On one hand getting the sub-grades on the label definitely helps fill the label out which looks better, but how much can they be a deterrent for a buyer. Example would you feel the same or pay the same amount for a card with sub-grades showing 9.5, 10, 10, 10 obviously still an overall 10, compared to a label that just has the overall 10? 

     

    I know it's really more of a mind game but being a rookie to grading I want to understand as many aspects and thoughts as possible.
