I really haven't had any issues with CGC. Every single order that I've placed has been shipped back within 25 days.

how long does it take for packages arrived @ cgc to be opened and be entered into their system these days?

A couple days in my experience, but I'd give it a week.

Economy for 2 cards with subgrades. Received 5/17/22, Shipped 5/19/22. Received from post office 5/23/22

 

Edited: FYI I live in the same state as CGC, so I was able to receive it a bit quicker than most will receive theirs

CGC hitting it out of the ballpark tho! (thumbsu

Nice! Did you get them imaged too? Hoping mine is posting today or tomorrow.

EDIT - 6/1/2022 ~13:00 EST:

I just got back my results! It took a total of 3 business days (excluding Sat. + Sun. + Memorial Day) from when they opened my package to when I got my grades, can view the images online, and it is marked shipped. 1 day for receiving and logging my submission, 1 day for grading, and 1 day for QC and shipping.

 

I am extremely happy with the grades I got too! This is also the first time I have ever used CGC. It was super fast and my cards look really good in the cases in the images they took. I'm very satisfied.

Bulk Order - 57 Cards (Pokemon TCG and Pokemon Topps)

Cannot believe how quick the turnaround was!

When hardly no one is submitting with CGC anymore, it's definitely believable.

After seeing a Dark Phantasma Gengar character rare sell for $635 on Sunday, I had to jump in! Big price between perfect and pristine 10s, but that's okay...the fun will be seeing what happens! (I also turned in a Birthday Pikachu and a Golden Mew, but on a lower tier.)

So, to take a leaf out of Marceline's playbook:

Submission Type: one standard with imaging, two economy with no images
Card type: the Gengar is the SWI and the Pikachu and Mew are ENI
 

  • Shipped from USPS: 13 June - Monday
  • Arrived at CGC P.O. Box: 16 June - Thursday
  • CGC marked "Received": 17 June - Friday
  • Scheduled for Grading: same
  • Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging: possibly 20 June, because the Gengar was still marked as scheduled Sunday, 19 June
  • Grading/Quality Control: 20 June - Monday
  • Shipped to me: TBU - looks like Wednesday may be a go! (the other two will probably be a couple more weeks yet, but I can wait!)

Unless things have slowed down in the last two weeks, I expect it to take about a week. (Replace Memorial Day with Juneteenth and it's the exact same schedule, even.)

=====

(21 June)

Standard: still in grading/QC
Economy: QC/finalized

What?! It looks like the econo leapt ahead of standard since last night? Interesting...

=====

New (23 June)

Standard: still in grading/QC
Economy: shipped (pair of 9.5s)

Yeah, it has. Super weird.

Did your Topps cards ship separate from your TCG cards?

I want to get my Pokémon cards graded. I see that there are different memberships and what it costs for the year I assume ? That being said how much is to pre-card for bulk? Kind of hard to get a membership if I don’t know what I will be paying for card. Can someone help me out ?
