SGC processing times

[Harliduck]

Appreciate this post...came here to see if anyone was having more than promised wait times. Nothing critical, just a 3 card sub...but anxious to get them back as it's the last couple of a tough set. Logged received 3/19, now sitting at 20 days and no action. Again, no biggie but when they say 5/10 days, doubling that gets concerning. From reading this looks like I'll just be patient and it's now their norm...just wish they would communicate their new norm.

In addition to backlog, wait times also depend on how obscure your cards are, as certain cards take longer for them to research.

I have a submission that was marked as received on 3/21 and went into post-grading processing on 4/10, but the grades still haven't posted. So they're definitely still backed up. It's all Topps, Bowman, Leaf, and Goudey stuff though, so nothing challenging for them to research.

Well, that makes sense...these were 1953 Dormand Post Cards...not super rare but certainly not the norm. Finally marked as shipped yesterday...hoping to get them in hand in a day or so...

Service level is making a difference with 1-3 days still on track.

Was just going to ask about that, good to hear that the immediate service level is still immediate. Wonder if some are going to start utilizing that more often on the bigger cards for a quicker turnaround time, especially for resale purposes.

I dropped an order off at Chantilly on 4/6; shows shipped as of 4/30. These were all Post-War Topps cards, nothing out of the ordinary.
