I got the dreaded "brittle ink" designation even though CGC has graded hundreds of these. Did i get that designation because the encapsulation is not ready yet and can i resubmit? Or does that mean the won't encapsulate no matter what. Just checking. Thanks for your help. I am sorry but, customer service is supposed to be taking over answering these types of questions. You will have to post this in the Ask CGC Cards section. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator CGC Mike Posted November 13, 2022 Administrator Share Posted November 13, 2022 We have to make another adjustment to the holder and do another ship test. It will most likely be another 3 weeks before we have any new information regarding this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These metal cards seem a bit different to me when it comes to the color/painting on them, any word that you will be testing how to grade these metal cards? And if it might be as hard or easier for them? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will cgc allow us to get other cards sent back without sending the metal cards back? I had 2 other non metal cards that I sent in and would like my metals graded when available but my other 2 non metal cards are just sitting there and I can't request them back unless you guys send back my metal cards as well? I'm sure for customers who have been waiting a year at this point there has to be something we can do right? SnorlaxCollective 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William1759 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 It is a bit frustrating. CGC can now encapsulate video games pokemon stickers etc etc. While this has seemingly been put on the back burner. I got my membership to send in my metal cards. Now I'll probably have to renew it before they're even graded. My cards have sat for 9 months. And they may come back a CGC 7/8 or worse. If they graded bad I would just want them sent back instead of being encapsulated. Although now I'm 9 months and 100's of dollars invested.

isaac fullenkamp Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 @CGC Mikeany updates? I have already lost my membership waiting to encapsulate my metal cards and customer service basically said, tough luck sign up for another year. this is getting a little ridiculous that this has not been resolved William1759 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
