BFeld Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Just checked 5/25/21, CGS is "Now opening trading card submissions delivered the week of March 22, 2021." This is a two month lag time before the grading clock starts. Hopefully, as they hire more staff the lag time of opening will cut down from two months, to a month, to a week (wouldn't that be nice). I have some cards delivered during this period for my first submission, looking forward to seeing how things progress. nickdrizzle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my slabs clear. Makes the cards the focus not the slab. This is the reason not really into HGA. I acquired a black refractor RC in SGC slab. cant even tell where the border of the card is without close inspection lol. I thin k SGC is better for vintage or white bordered cards. But pass for me, just not for me, I agree they are legit, just not my style. MountainG and nickdrizzle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people waste money they could've used acquiring more cards for their PC to grade their own PC? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikj48 Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Man, I have an express that was delivered one day after you on 5/28 and it's still in grading/Quality control. WTF? They posted the grades on my card then they removed them. This is getting out of hand. I submitted an economy test order at the end of March when turn around was 30 days. It's been 3 months and they haven't even been scheduled for grading. lol. At this point it might not have been worth the time, hassle and value.
