This is getting maddening. People are getting their bulk orders back before I get my economy back with the same received dates. I've been in grading/encapsulation/imaging for over a month and a half now.

Heck of a breakdown, thanks!

My Standard (with subs) is on 81 working days today, went into grading/encapsulation/imaging since 07/29/2021. Hopefully I can beat the Economy numbers. Kind of wish I just sent them Economy now. 

Ok, gunna go cry now and wipe my tears with energy cards.

Dang, my cards are still sitting as received since 3/12 with no movement. Granted, it's a larger order of 130 cards w/ subgrades but still. Roughly 107 working days per my quick calculation, initial estimated time of completion was 111 working days.

Economy submission 52 Cards 

Received 2/16

status grading incapsulating since about June 9th…. 
 

is this normal for my cards to be in the grading status for over 2 months?? I had another submission go into grading the same time for standard submission. I received those weeks ago, and nothing on my other submission. I reached out they told me about a week and it’s been 3-4 weeks. I messaged asking why it is well past 1 week and no update or return number now no reply? 
 

anyone else similar situation or did they lose my cards? Making sure before I take this further
