I have two submissions from 2/12, and both have been in Grading/Encapsulating/Imaging for 14 days now.  Seems that's way above normal.  Anybody else have cards stuck in this phase, or does this warrant a call to CGC?

My standard submission that's 60+ business days is in the same boat. I'm waiting for a response via email today hopefully. I usually get a response in 48 hours by email.....

I have a economy submission received 2/11 that is in the same boat. They just changed how they do the stages of grading so maybe this stage takes longer now. Ill give it a week and I'm gonna reach out.

Anyone know why the subgrades of 9-9-10-9.5 make a card a 9 as opposed to a 9.5?

CGC has mentioned before that if the two lowest sub grades on a card are identical, then the overall grade will be that lowest subgrade. I personally have seen this to be pretty consistent when the subgrades are all high.

Maybe someone spilled Pepsi on one of the encapsulation machines and it’s just down for a bit 

I had 2 cards get ruined because someone spilled a drink on them.  They gave me credit for what they’re estimate valued at.

I am guessing that they got slammed with submissions the week prior to the Feb 16 price increase. Waiting on my 2/12 economy as well.

Youre probably right, but damn that sucks lol. I accidentally shipped my cards without CGC Cards on the label, just CGC so it took an extra 2-3 weeks to be received. Our time will come soon!

His statement is fairly correct, because grading has nothing to do with wants. Grading has to do with subjective assessment of objective condition. CGC couldn't - and shouldn't - care less about what the aftermarket wants. It's their job as a 3rd party grading service to accurately assign a grade to a product.

Exactly, that’s the whole point to getting your cards graded. Loosening their standards would definitely ruin their brand and turn them into a sub par grading service. I like how strict they are cause 10s shouldn’t be given out unless the card is perfect. Keeps the premium high on those cards and furthermore, it’s the right thing to do for their company and their customers.
