I have a 10/4 received order that hasn't moved but judging by Mike's post above I assume it will be soon.

I was figuring based on others that mine would be done the 1st week of November and they hit in that window.

I'd think yours might hit late next week! Hoping for you!

Thanks! Mike

We made it. Cards are in post-grading. Anyone know when I can expect to see the grades? Auction opens tonight so these will have to be a late addition but hopefully we have them in by the weekend!

when I got the shipped notification I could see grades. Click on your order number and you can see them there. I got a split decision. One good (what I expected), one SUCKED!

i used USPS Priority, I saw tracking on Friday and just got them today. Honestly, your cards hit exactly when I thought they would so I think depending on distance to ship, you are still about 6 to 8 days from getting your cards in hand. Hopefully a bit sooner but that is my estimate. You should see your grades in 1 to 2 days.

Mike

We imaged before we sent, so if I have a grade I can list and update the image later. They are actually listed as "graded" today, so keeping my fingers crossed I see grades today, that would be a bonus.

Scott,

When you click on your order number it should take you to your order form. That is were I could see and can see my grades against the cards listed on the order form. My grades showed up the day they shipped......yesterday.

Hope that helps.

SGC also uploads nice scanned images of your cards to their site after they slab them. You might be able to use those scans before you even get the cards in hand. If you log into your account and click on the link below, it will have a link to your scanned images folder.

The cards will be “seller ready” but unfortunately there will be no one “buyer ready “

Default Grading Decline

Is it me or anyone else receiving what we would call under graded cards back? Specifically cards from 1969 or earlier. Since this pandemic plagued grading fiasco where the grading companies were forced to hire more graders I have personally noted this decline.

Tony, SGC has been around for many years and I've been buying/selling since Day 1 with their slabs. Throughout the years, they have maintained consistency, good customer service, a fast graded product, and a knack for weeding out trimmed and doctored cards. You may have a had a batch of bad luck or timing but overall, SGC is spot on. Most of the time!

I've always thought SGC graded the toughest out of any of the TPG's, and are the most consistent as well.
They are not perfect, but I believe they are the closest to that.

I, too, have been using SGC for many years but a recent sub of only three cards left me scratching my head. I will play the game of guess the grade . I will try to upload the cards in question later today under a separate thread.

Around when the pandemic started in 2020, SGC lost the script on a lot of things - particularly centering - which may have been related to the hiring of new graders. (?) I got a couple of '72 cards in 5's and 5.5's where the grade was clearly tied only to centering - they were NM or better cards otherwise - and it's like nobody taught the graders the difference between 85/15 and 65/35. The latter does not deserve a downgrade to EX range or lower if otherwise a pack fresh card. Yes, all graders make mistakes but realistically we are talking hundreds or thousands of dollars difference in some cases with the more pricey cards. It's expected, but also extremely frustrating. I'm not sure if SGC has resolved that particular tendency around centering yet or not. I've been loathe to send them any more cards since they later returned me Mantles in slabs with plastic shards sticking into the edges of the card.

Ugh, so entered Post Grading on 11/10 and still no grades let alone my overnight shipment arriving by today. Guess they'll hold until next Pre War auction.

I've noticed this as well. Even PSA has abandoned their published centering standards since the pandemic began. Both have moved the goalposts on us.

centering has clearly gotten tougher. what baffles me about centering is that it is the only category that is scientific, and should be consistent. I doubt the graders even bother to measure - it is all done by eye.

+1 Agree and a little scary especially when talking about how it effects the grading and thus the value to some people

How fast is SGC cranking these days? I have a few orders out, all received in the last month.

Has anyone received grades recently? If so, when did SGC receive your cards?

My buddy had a sub received on 10/27 that just hit post grading today. As far as turnaround I am not sure anyone could ask for much more.

Are you serious? It’s less than two weeks? Good thing you are not in Bobby’s PSA group submission that is now going on a year!
