Yeah, my receipt from 2/12 states "5-10 days". And now this is business day #30 since it was marked received.

I'd email....but I don't want to bog down their time responding to pointless emails instead of getting to the actual grading...

After entering "post grading" before you typically get grades?

Business day #38. I did end up emailing, and got a generic reply stating that "certain orders involve cards that require a bit more in-depth research to ensure they are accurately identified and meet the SGC Guarantee."

Granted....my orders often fall into this category. But I usually see *some* movement as items get shifted around, marked "do not grade," etc.

Mine's been all over the map. Sometimes it's 2-3 days, even though I've been told that's long/not typical. Once it was longer than that and I had to reach out. I think it's only ever been shorter than two days one time.

I have an order there now and it has been in post-grading for two days and counting. I was part of the 5-10 business-day times and on Day 22 overall since received.

I'm finally on day 2 of post-grading. Tomorrow will be Day 43 overall.
(and a few of mine they chose not to grade....part of me wonders if that was because it'd take more time to do so...)

This is the first SGC order I've had in a while where they actually graded everything. I usually have one or two that they don't.

The time I was stuck in post-grading hell, they told me it was because a few of the cards were odd shapes and required special cuts. Fingers crossed that I'm out of post-grading tomorrow.

I gave SGC 17 cards at the Chantilly Show on April 5th. The SGC rep mentioned that it might be well into May before I got my cards back. Especially as there were some "unusual" cards in my sub, I told the rep, "no problem," because accuracy is more important than speed to me.

My order is complete and shipping back to me. They must have saw my post 2 days ago haha j/k.. very pleased overall with my order, except for one shocker. My order was 30 standard cards, mostly pre war. I threw in a 1980 Topps Henderson rc and it came up as counterfeit.. why anyone would counterfeit this card or anything 1980s is beyond me. The card looked mint-ish to my eye and was hoping for a 8 or 9 ��

Hope everyone else waiting starts to see some movement

SGC took a handful of cards from me at the Strongsville show, which were
back at their offices on April 11. I paid at the $15/card for 15-20 day
turnaround rate. I won't mind if they are a day or two off when the time
comes. It would be a bad thing if it gets to the "Will I even be alive when
these cards arrive at my home?" stage- that's PSA's claim to fame.
