CGC Seems to be up and running.

Looks like you have to join their pay-for-play club to submit cards anywhere except at a show.

Right. $25 bucks. Same scam as PSA, although cheaper and not "sold out."

I would think a startup looking to take business away from PSA (and maybe BGS and SGC to a lesser extent) would be able to offer better than 45-day turnaround times. Not bashing though. I definitely hope they do well and light a fire under PSA's collective behind.

Maybe they don't want to get flooded?

As mentioned before, it is my good understanding, the first show they are accepting submissions at (I will give them some) is in 2 weeks at the Allen, TX show (just north of Dallas)....It's just down the street from me and a 1/4 mile from where my daughter lives. Hope to see a lot of folks at the show. I know of quite a few friends who are going already.

Just got an email back from them and currently they are only grading pokemon and magic cards. Apparently no sports cards and did not sound like they intended to be grading them at all. Bummer.

If you actually sent the email to CGC, then you sent it to the wrong place. CGC grades game cards. CSG will be grading sports cards...https://www.csgcards.com/card-grading/cards-we-grade/

WOW!!! Subgrades are the fee + $10!!!! Holy guacamole!! That makes it expensive!!!

Correct, that being said you'd think they'd point him in the right direction since it's the same parent company!

LOL. Cannot argue with ya there. Kinda shocking...actually.

I am reading the BIOs on the graders. Does anyone know these guys?? Are they reputable?? Interesting that one of the guys talks about his Howe McCormick card. Wonder if Ed knows about it?

My mistake so I sent one to the correct location. We will find out.
