J-KComics Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Hello, I was just wanting to know what is your experience with CGC when it comes to trading cards? I know the department is fairly new. Do you think their grades hold much weight in the community? I sent in 60 cards. Thanks Edited September 10, 2020 by J-KComics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the menace Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I made a video on my experience for more context. But overall, I would say I have been satisfied with them. Sent in 80+ more cards to them for grading and building up more bulk submissions to send it. I think perception is pretty good at the moment as well. Decent eBay sales, constantly seeing posts about them on social media. Give it a bit more time, and I think people will see the value in CGC soon.

It is a base set shadowless Rattata. It has two faint red dots on the right side of it. I did research on it and only a small number had the error. Do you have any info on this printing error? They just recently got scheduled for grading. It lists the other errors but not that one? confused.. here is the link confirming the error. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Error_cards#Base_Set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(No use to you now, but in the future). 2) Call CGC now and let them know. The sooner the better. Better to let them know now then to wait and have it come back without the error listed and have to resubmit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called them and I was told it will be sent down to them and fixed... but it is still reading the same on the error card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw that video, but the person also then said he would contact CGC, who most likely rectified the situation. Furthermore, there are plenty of videos of people receiving their orders just fine. No reason to cherry pick a negative video. thunsicker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if that's the worst that's out there I would think people would be pretty confident. He basically raves over the label, the grading, and the clarity. He then says (rightly) that having one card that apparently failed to get heat sealed is not acceptable. On the comic side we are constantly complaining about quality control.

There are going to be some growing pains early on. PSA, Beckett and SGC still have the occasional quality quality control problems and they have been in business for a long time.

I literally have contacted them like 6x about the error on my card and they keep saying it is still being graded... they will update it if they deem it an error.

I completely understand. Just don’t want that type of video to scare you to the point of doubting your decision. I’ve personally seen hundreds of slabs be returned with no issue if that comforts you at all. And it’s not like PSA hasn’t made mistakes in the past.
