SnorlaxCollective Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Last update said the new holders would be going live end of May. Anyone seen any status updates on their paused submissions yet? I just happened to submit a bulk order with my metal cards included the week before the pause was announced (recieved 2/24). Hoping next month I might finally get my submission finished and sent back :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfelts88 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Haven't seen any updates yet, hopefully soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender322 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I didn't realize they had been paused. There is no warning when adding them to an order. I submitted 79 bulk cards including 4 metal cards on 5/17. Order changed to grading/encapsulation on Friday the 5/20 but haven't seen any updates yet and no grades have been posted on the tracking page for any of the cards.

Chall1188 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I resubmitted recently. Was in encapsulation/grading. Now changed to grading/quality control last week. Still no update.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender322 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 After speaking with customer service, I'm just going to have them send my 4 metal cards back un-graded so that I can receive my other 75 graded/encapsulated cards back. I'll send the metal cards back in once they resume grading them as it does't look like there is a concrete date/plan and these could be held up for months.

Angel Ruelas Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 So if you have a metal card in the order that is what’s causing delay.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender322 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Correct. Mine should like be changing to shipping today since I said to just send the metal cards back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your submission will stay at the "grading/encapsulation" phase until we hear more about when the metal cards will start being finished and encapsultaed in CGC's new holder made just for them. My 59 card bulk sub has been at that phase since early april. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender322 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 My cards shipped since I said to send the Metal cards back. Out of 75 cards: 10s - 5 9.5s - 28 9s - 34 I have to inspect one of my Charizard VSTARs though it had 9.5,10,10,7 not sure what the issue with the surface was.

Administrator CGC Mike Posted June 6, 2022 Administrator Share Posted June 6, 2022 Regarding metal cards: We are currently finalizing a solution and hope to provide an update soon. Once we have fully tested this solution, we will make an announcement regarding it and let everyone know their metal cards can be safely encapsulated.

Is it possible to have the partial bulk order that is already graded sent back and leave the metal cards until finished? If not, do you have a rough timeframe for when you think these will begin being able to be encapsulated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a timeframe when we will be able to encapsulate the metal cards but we are hoping it will be soon. As I mentioned, we are currently finalizing a solution.

chaoticcow Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I might have to do the same... Keep waiting out for hope but I paid extra to get my cards back sooner and now they've taken longer than bulk would've :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinality Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 My metal card express submission (not pokemon) has moved to "Grading/Quality Control" step. It arrived there on 5/20 so hopefully that means they'll be graded soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
