just curious, no card grade? Just the auto was a 9? I know those cards would be very difficult to get a 9 on. I submitted one and got a 6 (auto auth)

Sent in some base zards that were only a little off center but still within 60/40 with only the slightest bit of silvering which is common on those. Thought for sure they'd be 9s, got 8s. Cracked and subbed to CGC got 9s 🤷#@♂️. Stopped subbing Pokemon to PSA after that. Can't fathom how they said those were 8s.

if they were 9s at cgc they were probably appropriately graded.

Yea I only got the auto graded. The card has some surface "damage". Some of the finish came off on the top.. Figure the card grade would score low but the autograph was really nice. I did internally debate about which way I wanted to go but ultimately felt that having a low card grade on the label would make it look ugly and just take away from the grade of the auto

Just had the cards disappear on my 47 card TCG order from an order in QC2 that was entered on 3/20. It took them 23 days to enter the order, so almost looks like they are pushing it through.

Any big delays in QA2? I hd a bulk vintage order fly through grading - entered 3/10 and into QA2 on 3/23 - but has been stuck since. I’m expecting (hoping?) to see some upcharges, but a bit surprised it’s sat in this stage for that long

I have been 'stuck' in QA2 since 3/27. Weird since it has typically been the shortest step for me, with grades usually popping within 12 hours of moving to it

I'm pleased with this...I knew it had no shot at the 10 because of the centering, but I felt everything else was perfect. I was anticipating the 9, but feared a tough grader would give it an 8.

No specials yet...does it usually take a few days? Or too busy there and likely no special?

I say 17 dollar modern special with 10 card minimum would be nice...and 3 uses of the special max in the quarter

I don't grade much and I know it has been mentioned but what step do you usually get notified if there is going to be an upcharge?
