migmtl76 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hi guys, So I have a least 200 books I could submit (maybe more) for grading to CGC. Have any of you ever gotten a discount when send many books ? I assume dealers get discounts but how about collectors? Please share your experience in this thread. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only get discounts by subscribing to different levels. migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo1969 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Best you can do is buy an Elite (1 year) membership and submit all your books within a one year period before the membership expires migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy who submitted 1000 books to another grading company and got a huge discount (I think it was about half price). In these hard times, that grading company contacts customers because they need books. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avi Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Only discounts are from membership levels like previously stated. Either 5, 10 or 15% and the 150$ credit. FYI discounts only apply to universal (blue label) grading. Credits are only applied to grading fees ( can be either universal fees or SS fees) https://www.cgccomics.com/grading/faq/ migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revat Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a way to contact them privately and arrange something, but I think you’re in the wrong order of magnitude to make it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migmtl76 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Just now, HighAF said: Would 200 books be considered "high volume"? I'd think you'd need to submit a large collection in the 1000s. If you submit that many you can probably get your name on the label. Was that the Magic Wu collection? Is that what it was called? A magician from Vancouver? No some guy from California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, CBCS gives a really cool discount, I think even now collectors get one book graded free every 10 books or so. But they are only doing this because they are not CGC and give incentives. CGC needs no incentives and they are getting lots of business, these are not desperate times at all for CGC or any comic book auction house. They stayed open and books are selling for all time records. The waiting times are long enough, giving you an idea of the volume they deal with. No reason to give more of a discount than what they already give if you select the higher tiers. So basically, if you want the discount others are giving, then go with others.
