SGC lead times?

[Usc1]

I need to send some cards over for grading. I know that PSA lead times are months.

Have people been receiving their cards in a timely manner from SGC? They aren't taking phone calls as I called. I tried emailing but no reply. I imagine they are busy as well.

Thanks.

TL;DR - No

My August sub is expected back Mid-December.

I know people that subbed in June that are just receiving scans/grades.

Appears they are digging into the backlog, but I'd say the estimated lead times given on the website are not representative of what you're going to get.

Just sent 4 cards for grading to SGC. They received the cards. Before mailing they had on website 52-57 business days. Joe

Thanks for the insights.

Looks like it is not any better than PSA at the moment.

The graders are all getting crushed at the moment.

Isn’t’t PSA 9 months to a year ?

Submitted 8 cards to SGC on August 27 for 43 - 48 day service, so technically they are only one day overdue today!

TPGs should just charge $100 per card for 12-month service. But, for each additional $50, they'll trim one month off the wait times. I kid..........sort of

I submitted a 10 day sub with SGC in June, and today is day 130. Its in post grading status but hasn't shipped yet.

I sent them over 60 T201, 205, 206 & 207's in May for 20 day submissions.
Last month they bumped it to the 52-57 day subs, still not graded.
& SGC takes your money when they receive the cards, at least PSA takes it when they are ready to ship.

They received my cards on August 31 and marked received but no grades as of November 2. Far cry from the days of a regular being 20 days.

Why are people continuously sending any TPG’s their cards at this particular time?

What’s the rationale?

My six card order received June 9th popped today. My son included two of his Pokemon cards and is already seeing dollar signs after learning his grades.

My post you quoted at 130 days, it shipped shortly thereafter. So turn around time in November was 4.5 months.

That was my only card in the que, so I'm not sure if SGC has sped up or not.

I sent cards to SGC at the end of July and they were shipped back on Friday

Well that’s good news...hopefully I get my August sub back next month. I have nothing to complain about compared to some of the other guys. But seems like they’re working their way through the backlog. Will always go SGC

[wazoo]

Any August folks getting their cards back yet?

What is post grading status at SGC.? Cards graded, not shipped?

Yes they have graded the card and are packing it and putting the grades into the system for your viewing. Should be a day or two, then they'll ship.

[Frank A]

Just sent a load of cards to GMA. I know, they work from their basement. Who cares where they work from as long as they do the job right. I will let you know how it comes out. Frank

Mine sat there for a few weeks. Don’t be surprised.

Maybe this explains the real reason for our delays in getting back our vintage card submissions over the past year:

These Chicago Bulls schedules are actually multipage booklets that are now being slabbed by two of the big three TPG's. One even received a Gem-Mint grade and is available on e-bay for the bargain price of $10K.

If that's not inappropriate enough, check out the third one, its a season ticket promotional flyer. All I can say is WOW! I guess MJ trumps everything these days, huh?
