Think they dropped it to 25 when they reduced price to $12 at beginning of Oct

Their response to someone else was that it doesn't really go backwards it just does that when you send something in that they haven't graded before.

Use dikes to cut a corner off the top of the label area. Slide a thin flathead screwdriver into the recessed label area and work it across the label. Rest of the case should pop apart as you pry up gently. Reference a YouTube video if you're not certain at any point. Just make sure to keep the screwdriver well away from the card.

Looking like TAT is almost dead on for bulk. Think it's currently listed at 20 days on the site, and order is in G/E/I. Was entered into received status on 10/11 but was delivered a few days prior. Think this is business day 16 or 17 since delivery, so assuming it ships within the next few days it will be right around the 20 day mark.

What's the next grading status you should expect in this scenario? Mine did the same and I was wondering. Will it show hitting QC status or just show up as shipped. Not sure if you mean the grading phase, or grading in it's entirety in that post. Thanks.

Definitely becoming a race to the bottom. Everyone has lowered prices. PSA opened bulk then dropped the price shortly there after. Think they may still be doing the $15 for TCG if that was them I saw the email from. The margins on sales are getting hard to overlook. Hard to justify sending to CGC at the moment for selling. I hate PSA with a passion. Feels like they have a dart board in the grading room as a determining factor based off of some of the returns. At least CGC still whooping them on turnaround time though. Becoming harder to grade cards at the current prices, a 9 is pretty much break even. People probably aren't subbing that much anymore, coming off the heels of card market going wild and all the company's expanding. I foresee prices going lower still and turn around getting faster. Eventually prices have to go low enough to create volume so they can warrant these expansions and not lay off the people they hired last year.

Last bulk sub went into SFG for like two days then back to received and one that was received after it seems to have jumped it as it's now in SFG status. Just curious if anyone has noticed that happening on their subs before. Looks like it must trigger the Scheduled for grading status when you're billed, then reverts to received since other one did it as well.

Did they crack the slabs or you for regrade? Weirdest change imo is centering grade. That should be static regardless of anything else on the card.

Opened a bunch of retail and every die cut was trash. Finally got someone on the CS line and they said submit a ticket for every card and wait a few years😂 I was like what. This is like 70 cards. If it was a couple of cards here and there it would be whatever and I'd probably just let it slide, but this is this worst batch I've ever opened. Other replacements have been there over a year. They must be cutting these cards with a rusty spoon at this point.

I actually like the new labels. They look a lot better than the green imo, and they're really clear compared to others. Recently crossed two from SGC and they look sick in the CSG slabs. Couldn't be happier with the way they look.

The graders don't know who the card belongs to, but at some point the paperwork and card are reunited. Otherwise how would anything ever be sent back to us? Its an option on the submission form. Think it's pedigree or something like that.

Kind of scares me on the crossover I sent in, seeing as that makes 2 people on the forums that've gotten whacked and not many active people on here. The raw cards in same order finished up mid week and should be delivered today. The crossovers been in GEI for I think 4 or 5 days(Might just take longer though, I have no idea to be fair). Don't want an email with bad news 😂 I really liked those cards.

I wonder what their rate of damaging cards is.

Starting to get a suspicious feeling about a crossover order. It's still well within the estimated turnaround so not going to complain, but seems very strange. Sent in 10 raw cards and 2 graded. Raw cards were graded and shipped already, crossover has been in G/E/I for 4-5 days now. Figured they would've made it out faster or at the same time due to being 2 cards vs 10. Wasn't something I necessarily needed to crossover, but for PC items the Darius Garland tiger print and Kyle Pitts Genesis would look way better in CSG slab over SGC. Black insert looks great to me on the old yellow border pokemon and 60s baseball cards but doesn't with modern cards.

Have you seen a card graded a 3? That's a lot of damage. Must have dropped it, rolled over it with a chair and spilt a can of coke on it all in one go.
