  1. Quick Update on this: I sent the Black Label 9.5 Scottie Pippen back to CSG to be reholdered to a 10. (It was originally a Green Label 9.5, which crosses over to a 10 with CSG's new grading scale.) CSG informed me they made a mistake and accidently put it in a Black Label 9.5 when it got reholdered the first time. So I sent the card back to CSG to get reholdered again. Today I was informed via email by CSG that they damaged the card.
  2. Sent in a Scottie Pippen graded a 9.5 Gem Mint Green Label to be reholdered as a 10 Gem Mint. (Because of CSG's new grading system and new labels.) To my surprise, when I got the card back, it was still a 9.5, and the grade lowered to a Mint+. It was also given a new cert number, which is mind boggling to me. I assume this is to create doubt from outside viewers that it "might" not be the same card. But it is the same card. Good luck to everybody else out there sending their 9.5 Gem Mint Green Labels in to get reholdered, only to get the card back NOT as a 10, and actually a lower grade based on the new CSG grading scale!
  3. Doubt I'll ever be using CSG again. Their claim that all Green Label 9.5 cards will be regraded a 10 with the new black label is false. And they gave the cards new cert numbers, which is asinine. Here is proof: I sent in a Scottie Pippen Flair Showcase 9.5 GEM MINT Green Label to be reholdered. It was returned to be today as a 9.5 MINT+ Black Label. It also had a new cert number. (Why?! To create doubt among outside viewers that maybe it isn't the same card?) I'm legitimately wondering if PSA has an insider working at CSG intentionally sabotaging their decision making. This is a terrible look. Good luck to others sending in their 9.5 Gem Mint Green Labels, just to get sent back a 9.5 Mint+ Black Label.
  4. 1966 Topps Mantle. Received it over 6 months ago, nowhere on the pop report. ..And not to beat a dead horse here, but CSG has got to get a better website dev team. Pop report released, but we can't just type in a card cert number? This is amateur hour stuff. Gives me flashbacks to the terrible submission form CSG originally had.
  5. I received an email yesterday that my bulk order has been shipped. Shows it is being shipped via FedEx and expected to be delivered in 2 days. However, when I check the tracking, it only shows that the "label has been created", so it hasn't actually shipped yet. We'll see if it arrives in 2 days or not. Glad to finally see some movement with the order, but also just ready for this fiasco to be done. 😂 Looking forward to not submitting any cards to any grading service for well over a year.
  6. Awesome man, great looking cards. I think vintage baseball look particularly nice in CSG slabs.
  7. Interesting. Thanks for posting this! So if I am reading this correctly, you subbed one bulk order on March 6th, and got it back on April 20th? 😳 That is pretty amazing, since that has not been the case for many others here waiting on bulk subbed in late February and early March. Also, have you received back your second bulk order that shipped on 6/15 yet? That is even more shocking since that was received on 4/16. Also interesting with the 78 card bulk order, since CSG marked it as "shipped" and it shows it shipped on 6/21. Which is obviously a future date, since today is 6/19.
  8. Wow. So the time it takes an order to just get marked as received is 70+ days now. ...expecting "current turnaround" times to increase again any day now. CGC's bulk turnaround is currently at 228 days. I'd have to imagine CSG's will be the same.
  9. That is awesome man, please keep us updated and share anything you can from your returned bulk order. Anything is better than nothing at this point!
  10. I'm a little confused by what you said. "I've gotten 3 bulk orders shipped so far." Does that mean, you've shipped 3 bulk orders to CSG? or you have received 3 bulk orders back from CSG? What date did you received them back? And can you post pictures of the "Received Date" and "Due Date" stickers on the returned box?
  11. SGC was smart for doing what they did. Tactically, it was an excellent move to counter CSG entering the market. CSG's inaction to the influx of subs has now left them stagnant. The only bulk subs they'll be getting now are bottom of the barrel ones that consumers submit because they are the cheapest option available. Their inaction has now made them the go-to grading company for low-end cards! 👌 ...And I actually want CSG to become a major player, and they still might. But when everything settles, and PSA and CSG have the same turn-around times, which company do they think consumers/dealers/investors are going to choose? CSG may have accidently created their niche... low-end cards.
  12. That is awesome man. Yep, I'm curious to see what they are considering "thick" cards.
  13. Congrats! Post a picture of the Received Date and Due Date stickers on the side of the bulk order box when you get it. 👍
  14. 50 card bulk order, received 3/10. I still suspect that all bulk orders from 2/26 onward are on pause. Like one of the other posts stated, CSG probably has a shortage of normal slabs due to the import fiasco, so they don't want to use the slabs they do have on any bulk orders right now. I believe the thick/bigger slabs situation is just a misdirect. None of my cards were thicker or oversized. Which is likely why customer support couldn't specify which cards of mine were causing the hold up... This video shows the latest date confirmed for a bulk order that has shipped out, received at CSG on 2/25.
