Acorus Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Just got a message stating CGC stopped grading the metal promo cards. When did this go into effect? Is there an estimated time frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator CGC Mike Posted March 31, 2022 Administrator Share Posted March 31, 2022 Hello We are still grading these cards. However, there is a delay in the encapsulation process. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Thank you. The way the email had been worded made me assume that CGC had completely stopped grading them. Is there an estimated time frame for this? I had a standard order of just metal cards.

I am sorry but, we don't have a set time as to when the encapsulation delay will end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Porter Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I wish there was a disclaimer for submitting these on the form somewhere. I submitted 7 orders, each with a metal card and now they have been sitting there with no movement for over a month on economy. I didn't know anything about it until someone had mentioned it elsewhere and I confirmed with a google search. Very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know probably not but still wanted to keep this post near the top. I submitted a bulk order 2/24 before the announcement about metal cards and have been at "grading/encapsulation" since mid march. Will it just stay that way until the new holders are announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience dealing with CGC soon could mean anything between a day or two or a few months. ProfessorCFK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Some of the ink on the card appeared too brittle and therefore cannot be holdered safely. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac fullenkamp Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Still waiting on the metal card cases?. Is it true the end of May, it “may” be resolved for the metal card cases to come in. There has got to be some sort of news available on them. Like then the shipment is expected to arrived and when the cases may be able to be used instead of the standard generic timeframes?
