No reason to think they would since they are consistently getting 1.1-1.2 million as is. I would assume that is pretty close to their capacity.

Yup...no sign of a price cut happening

I still cry every time I look at all my CSG green label 8's knowing full well they would have gotten PSA 9/10's easily.

Got a bulk sports that was received 11/14 and hit quality control/finalized yesterday! Volume must've fallen quite a bit

I am curious to see what this month's numbers look like for them. They touted the big uptick and it was all Pokemon repack stuff. They still only did 17k on the sports card side. If that repack was one time deal, their numbers will drop down considerably. I still like their cases a lot, but they don't even seem to be a thought in the sports card side. When people are discussing grading, it is still the big "3" and vintage its only PSA or SGC (no surprise there, BVG is long dead in vintage).

I'm rooting for them, really like the service and the slabs are fantastic. Going to be a while before they get the attention of the broader sports market but hopefully one day they will. In the meantime I'm sending PC stuff and am still able to sell their slabs for a profit especially if just focusing on the big names like Wembanyama and Stroud

My order finally moved to "scheduled for grading" after a month of being in "received" status.

Order popped today. 27 cards

2 - Pristine 10
15 - Gem Mint 10
4 - Mint+ 9.5
5 - 9
1 - 8.5

Unfortunately I got the baggie/sleeve thing on all of my die-cut's, but also on a couple of other cards. I just don't understand why or when they decide to use it.

This was from my last order, card looks amazing:



From my latest order:



Both of these are from my latest order :

Nice. I think Torkelson is going to have a big year next year.

I'm looking at sending in some cards to CGC for reholder and a regular grading order too. Can anyone tell me if you're able to put multiple orders like that in the same shipment like you can with PSA?

Yep, you can send in different services in the same incoming package. They will usually send them back at different times though, so you get hit with multiple return shipping charges.

About how long after an order goes into the QC/Finalized status does it take for the grades to show up?

For bulk sports my last two have it only took 2-3 days from QC to shipped and grades posted

Thanks. Mine has been in QC for about 8 days now. Hopefully grades will pop soon.

Seems like my Star Wars submission was in QC for a couple of weeks. Should have been long enough to catch this.

Whoopsie!!! That is a really nice James Earl Jones auto though, jealous of that one. .

I don't like how they don't grade the autos on non-sports. Not really big in grading autos, but the OCD in me wants sports and non-sports to be the same.

They actually did grade the autos on this order... so, now I have a mix within the sw collection.

Interesting, this might be a new thing. That is great. I may send in one on my next order to see what I get.

My grades on my order popped today. Wow, I got slaughtered. Nothing in modern sports cards did well. Of course I did the best in vintage Pokemon cards. I even got a pristine 10 in a 1999 Pokemon card. Luckily none of these were really big cards. Probably the biggest card in the bunch turned out to be one of the GM 10's. Chalk this up to a failed experiment.

32 card order.

1 - Pristine 10
3 - GM 10
5 - Mint+ 9.5
5 - grade 9
8 - grade 8.5
4 - grade 8
4 - grade 7.5
1 - grade 6.5
1 - grade 3

Hadn't really checked in on grading cards in a while. Have been grading magazines with CGC. Just realized that with the elite members discount, bulk grading for cards is under $10. Was a no brainier for about 60 cards that I had been waiting on.
Just sent them off yesterday.

[TXRunner]

My submission from CGC arrived today. I really do think that they have the clearest and best looking slabs. Wish I pulled some better grades, but at least now I know how they grade cards.

I know the old coupon expired any new coupons ?

Any examples from your order?

Here are just a couple of ones from my order. Most of the order was low value stuff.

If you sent 90's chrome stuff like that Kobe, they absolutely kill the grades on those cards! CGC is the toughest on surface if compared to PSA/SGC. They are more lenient on corners like SGC compared to PSA.

Good to know. The only 10's I pulled in the order were vintage Pokemon and one recent Pokemon.
