So if they received our cards before the update, then the previous TAT stands? Which was.....I think 5 or 7 days.

According to CGC, yes. But my standard submission is at 60+ business days and TAT was at 48 days when my submission arrived on 4/15/21. So who knows the truth anymore or what's really going on at CGC...

I’m going to say no. Because if that was the case I would have 5 submissions back already.

Whether you got your cards in before or after the TAT update it does not matter. Their Turn Around Times have never stood for anything. It is just eye candy for possible submitters. If we actually saw the data and ran some simple statistics on turn around times, I am sure we would find that the outliers are actually those that got their cards back within the stated TAT or before.

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.

I also thinks this helps to make modern more collectible, since 10’s of hit cards will still be low pop. Once CGC has their pop report out I feel like the price of 10’s is gonna skyrocket lol

Agreed, it’s almost a guarantee of a 10 with PSA on modern unless centering is horrendous

Dearest Diary,

Day 17 of `Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging`.  I feel the days never end, and sleep is but a fleeting moment between refreshing the status page.  I pray that my loot hath not been lost or forgotten, and hope remains that one day it WILL return to me.  However, that hope fades more with each passing dawn, and today but a glimmer remains.  I write to you weak, but not defeated.  Pray for me.

Be thou not weak, for thy encapsultor is near, and shall bring down upon thy slab with mighty force a sealing of financial goodness upon thy cards. And the photographer will then take upon thy yoke and deliver imagery into thy submission file. Fear not fellow submitter the end is nye.

Turn around times are just ridiculously  frustrating and thats with paying for fast track . Its  out of control my box of 25 comics sat for 3 1/2 weeks before it even showed it was recieved on 5-19 and now its 7-26 and finally in quallity control and who knows how long thats going to take . So its a 4 month turn around  with fast track .   And  prices were raised  this year $4 more per book for fast track . I sure hope Blackstone or whoever bought CGC can fix this problem .Comic gods please help .

Man...this making it really sink in how long it could still be until my bulk received 3/26 starts grading. And I think the bulk TAT estimate just jumped to over 180 days. I mean....I'm guessing probably October or November :(

It seems like they are grading 1 day worth if bulk every week.  With them on February 12th right now, you are probably 30 weeks from getting your cards back, so maybe February for you...

Dearest Diary,

Today is day 18 of Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging.  Last night, I dreamt that my sweet cards' grades had been posted online for viewing.  Alas, what a pleasant dream that was.  And yet, here I am, awake once more and gazing upon those stark three words which once held such promise.  Grading, encapsulation, imaging.  The winds whisper of 2/10 submissions being returned, and there are even rumors swirling of a 2/15 bulk making safe passage.  My 2/12 can't be much further off.  My spirit hurts, Diary, but I am strong.  I will remain here until I have better news.
