SGC processing times

[Snowman]

I sent in a 5-10 day service 40 card order that was delivered on 11/21 and scanned in on 11/22. It was shipped back to me on 12/4, which was 6 business days later, as it fell over the long Thanksgiving weekend.

All of my cards received grade bumps over what PSA gave them, many of which were 2 full grades higher.

Were they crossovers or crack outs?

You can't beat the turnaround times for SGC, no matter if a slight delay from the 5-10 estimated time frame.
I have been using SGC for the bulk of my grading for over 20 years now. I will admit there were some frustrating moments during Covid, but Brent was able to straighten out.

Too my point. I sent a 2 card sub to PSA in October, cards that I bought in SGC slabs but I cracked out and thought I would see how PSA would grade them.

It was a 65 day estimated turnaround time. Cards received on 10/13 and now it shows an estimated completion date of 1/29/24.

Mine was marked received on 12/4. No news yet.

37 were raw cards, 2 were reholders, 1 was a crossover.

Another reason why SGC is so much better than PSA. You can combine crossovers, reholders, and raw cards all in the same submission without having to pay seperate s/h fees for your order.

Meanwhile at PSA, submitted 10/4 -> still in grading, though they have added an ESTIMATED COMPLETION date of 1/12/24. 3 months is much faster than my last order that I put in when I was in college, and I am now a grandfather ready to retire.....

Mailed a batch to SGC in November from Canada. It took 28 days from the day I shipped them to the day I received them back at my house in Canada. Super happy with that type of turnaround time!

I mail a small order every few weeks. Happy with customer service grades and turnaround.

You won’t see 28 days to Canada with PSA!!

I don't think I tracked my previous SGC orders as closely, as they came back quickly in the stated timeline.

But I just noticed that when I click on my invoice for my 12/4 order, some things have been updated - a lot now say "2023 Do Not Grade No Charge" which is quite the bummer, and 3 now say "2023 To Be Entered" - so perhaps they just need to identify/label/slab the remaining 3?
