CGC has announced that they are changing their labels for graded cards. I would much prefer to keep the same labels that CGC has been using forever. Is there anyway to stop CGC from doing.
interested in hearing everyone’s opinion here on the new labels and changes.
Can we get a petition to stop the label change. I haven’t heard one person that likes the new label.
why doesn’t CGC do some type of survey to see if their customers would even support such a change.

It never stopped them before. I don't see a difference now. A lot of people are getting the new set early which is also nothing new. I'd rip them open and send in the hitters.
I just wasn't sure if they cards themselves in the packs could be considered inadvertent early release and pre release for this set has begun so a lot of people have the actual cards. But no one has these promo as they are not released even with pre released.

@CGC Mike what do you think Mike?

Hi guys stumbled across these packs and I’m curious if the cards inside these packs would qualify for inadvertent early release label at Cgc. Since this set is not released yet. Also since pre release just started how about the promos them selves? The promos are at least 2 weeks away from being released to anyone.

What did you end up getting?

Same. It appears to me also that it’s not possible anymore. Have to send those ones in separately in econ tier or do all of the bulk with subs
just figured it out. You can add multiple bulk submissions to a single order. so you can do 10 bulk with sub grades and 40 bulk no sub grades on the same order.

Your able to add subgrades to which ever cards you want in a submission. Just select which ones you want subgrades when your adding the card to the submission.
This is how I did it with my first submission. But now with the new submission form you choose sub grades before you add any cards.
-
Sending in a bulk submission and wondering if I can select certain cards to get sub grades? I don't need all the cards to have sub grades but there are certain ones within the bulk sub that I would like to have sub grades. are sub grades an all or nothing thing now with bulk subs?

how about the fact they graded perfect 10 cards and refused to honorably give them a perfect 10 because people didn't "pay" for the perfect 10. Almost like a scam.

prices I believe are based of when you submit. I believe there was only one price change that I know of.

That's a nice one!!! I predict 9, 9.5, 10, 9.5. Overall 9.5
dang giving me a 9 for centering! you might be harsher than cgc

@PaulS. Does CGC offer an option to have a grade reconsidered on a card? I know some other grading companies do but wasn't sure if CGC offers that. I know grading is speculative and surface, corners, edges would be a tough thing to argue. But after receiving a lot of feed back from other collectors I really feel something went wrong here on the centering just based of a lot of other cgc graded cards. Hoping my only option isnt trying with another grading company as I really like the cgc slabs. here a few comparisons.

This is correct. There will still be some old labels trickling out on slower tiers.

@PaulS. Seems like you guys would toss out the old labels knowing there is an issue with them...
Is this something you guys will fix if the card is sent back?

They need to get a parameter set for centering no doubt. Considering a completely miscut card that qualifies for O/C got an 8 and im not sure how they can justify 8.5's on cards that are pretty decent. I might be biased on my zard but it looks pretty damn good on the front and has a heavy top on the back. Just don't make sense that a complete miscut is an 8 and 1 border off on the back is 8.5

This was supposed to be fixed with the new labels.
EpicPulls, when did you receive this card back from CGC?

I think the centering was harsh and should have been a 9
I agree it could have been a 9 but in the end it wouldn't have changed the grade and still left it a overall 9 so I think that is why I'm not to upset. but it would have been much nicer to not have an 8.5 on the card. harsh!

I also noticed the dang grade is not centered either

I have seen a few cards like this and unfortunately I'm not sure how they determine the over all grade. But I agree with you it should be a 9. Seems like the overall grade should be the average of the sub grades. Would make way more sense.
8.5+9.5+9.5+8.5 = 36 / 4 = 9
Not sure why they don't do it like this.

I collect and grade with CGC because I like how hard it is to get a 10. I vet all my cards and try to only send the best to cgc to get those coveted 10’s. They are taking this chase away from me with the new grading system and taking away my interest in grading with them again.
I always put sub grades on the higher end cards. This is a must for me when it comes to grading a high end card. I like seeing what sub grade got the 9.5 on a pristine card. When purchasing a high end card I only buy ones with sub grades. And if there are multiple 10’s available for sale then the sub grades can help me make a decision. This is a big loss for me again.
I personally like the CGC blue label. It was different at first but it is simple and clean and also their trade mark. You could see a CGC slab from a mile away and you know it’s CGC. They are unique and scream CGC. Your taking away their identity and giving a very generic label that looks the same as all the new start up grading companies.
the reason I chose to start collecting cgc slabs and started grading with cgc was for their crystal clear slab. I’m my opinion they have the best case in terms of psa and becket. At least they aren’t taking away the cases but I don’t know that’s enough for me to continue.
all in all this whole thing is a complete loss for me and not sure if I’ll be grading with cgc anymore and possibly move out of collecting them. Which sucks because I have a lot of high ends cards with good grades by cgc. I had high hopes for their values in the future when people realized how scarce a pristine 10 is compared to a psa 10.
