Grading Co Experiences as of lately

[felada]

I feel for sgc their grading has becomes very inconsistent in the last few years. I look at both them and psa as more of a holdering service than graders at this point

Thanks so far guys...this info is not reassuring!!!

Think the graders are overloaded with every dealer getting ready for the National just around the corner.

I do not understand the turn-around time with PSA. I have just resorted to buying already slabbed cards rather than raw. The cost for grading seems high to begin with but the turn-around time is absurdly long. It doesn't add up that the wait would be so long AND the cost would be high. The two -- in my mind -- should be inversely proportional. If business is so good that it takes 2-3 months to grade than the price should be lower. It is frustrating.

My SGC submissions seem to be taking a little longer than normal.

Hey Peter, I hand deliver cards to sgc all the time. Their standards have not lowered, if anything, their graders are snacking on carrots back there.

they just completed my two week order in two weeks. I would.imagine if you hand delivered and wanted to wait, they would easily accommodate with enough notice.

Dont know much about PSA.

I've had a couple SGC submissions in the past months and both were done in the promised time. Great communication too.

I have never submitted a card for grading. I prefer raw stuff, but was considering it for a few rare cards I own. More I read the less likely that is gonna happen. I sure as hell would expect 10 days to be 10 days not 30-60. Prices are ridiculous as well.
