And they doubled their office space late last year by adding 68000 more square feet of fully staffed office space and they're falling much further behind. There's no way the existing grading companies can handle the current volumes CGC taking a pause is an actual concern for me. I have things put aside that I want to send to Joe to press and then send to CGC. Last year I sent books to Joe at the end of May. He was done with them in beginning or mid July. Then he brought them to CGC for me and they stayed there until they were shipped on 11/30. I don't know what to do as I have my doubts with everyone sending everything including grandma in to be graded by CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzetta Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Actually, I checked some of the other grading services. AFA is doing something similar. https://cgagrading.com/toygrader/ Quote FEBRUARY-MARCH 2021 NOTICE! We are happy to announce that we have welcomed several new team members in various departments which will help us to immediately increase productivity. However, we have decided to temporarily close our Economy tiers effective immediately. This will allow us to focus on getting caught up with submissions already in house and make sure that our loyal customers who have patiently waited can have their submissions expedited as quickly as possible. All submissions already in house or postmarked before 02/24/2021 will still be eligible to be processed under the Economy Tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzetta Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Now back to the topic at hand: With PSA closing their doors for awhile and AFA suspending tiers, what is the root of the problem here. Bored people with nothing to do but submit and cash out their collectables? Covid has caused a lack of production in grading facilities due to the maintenance of safety protocols? Anything I could be missing? What are the implications of this though? If people are cashing out does that mean we see a market correction? Does it mean that the market becomes stronger as more pieces are brought to market? If there are significant delays, how does this impact the market? onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of stuff can't be legal. It should of been put to a halt ages ago. All of them. They should know their times for acceptance. Either make clear times or shut down.

They know what they can handle and they are being completely negligent about the situation. If they can't handle it simple as that don't accept it. Legally, a company has to honor their turnarounds by a certain amount of time. I am pretty sure in every state that law remains. Plus you can't hold possessions/funds captive. Another word for that could be classified as a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mephisto Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 11 hours ago, ShiningCollectibles said: It is sickening, and stop trying to justify comics. They take time to grade because there's tons of pages. These cards take literally 2-4 mins to grade max. You look at the card, mark a grade put it in a slab. It isn't rocket science. But again when I'm told a 20-30 day estimation, told by two agents my cards are moving forward by specific times on the phone and than they don't. And I can't get my cards / a refund than theirs an issue. *there’s ShiningCollectibles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
