Glad to see their times improving. Just submitted and put 6 cards in the mail today for them to grade, including 2 14 Prizm Jordy variations that are (hopefully) better quality than the ones I had PSA grade. Well, I'm fairly certain the Red variation will improve over the PSA 7 that the one I subbed there got, so that will be worth it at the very least.

Have a 2014 Red Prizm and Blue Prizm Jordy Nelson in this sub to see if I can get the newer copies to get higher than my PSA copies (Red PSA 7, Blue PSA 9). I'm fairly certain that the Red will definitely get higher than a 7... The blue I might have as a wash, but it has the potential to be a 10.

Luckys announced SGC pulled out of the East coast national.
They said they were too busy. Lol

They uploaded my images before it was marked as shipped. Here are some highlights! Getting 8 and 8.5's on paper stock is not as easy as it once was.

How did the final grades compare to what you were expecting?

Most cards were within +/- 0.5 grade, which is all I can ask for. One card must have had a surface wrinkle and got blasted. Which happens once in awhile. If you are buying SGC slabs, you will get great cards for the grade if they were graded within the last 6 months.

Great looking cards, glad they were accurate on the grading.

@discodanman45 Love the Teddy Ballgame Wheaties card!
Nice to see the little "hack" worked with the photos uploaded before shipment.

My latest SGC order had grades pop today too.













Looks like SGC made a mistake on the flip for the 1977 Topps A's card. This is the special hand-cut rare one from a sheet, but they labelled it as the standard. Will likely have to contact support on this one.

Was hoping for an 8 on the Biletnikoff, but all grades are completely legit/fair.

Sent in another SGC order that arrived today and was already logged in same day. Nice.

Randy came in one day and talked to all of us. I was 9 years old.

I met Lyle Alzado also. I carried around their cards with me in my pocket. That's why the younger generation today doesn't understand why all cards can't be a 10 lol

I'll agree with this, although all of those old cards are looking nice! I am trying to convince my wife to let me submit the early career Johnny Bench and Pete Rose cards she has to SGC. I don't think they'll grade terribly high, but she currently has the Bench in a screw down case which makes me cringe...

Definitely glad these are moving so quick! Might have another Prizm alternate for the Jordy 2014 Rainbow (Purple) to submit, so I may have another one going to SGC in a week or two depending on when that shows up. Have some 2008 Jordy RCs I'm thinking about subbing as well at some point.

I would imagine they're close! I mean, unless you had a LOT of cards in your order... I only had 6 cards, and all of them except two had entries in their system already

It's a race to see which order of ours gets images and grades first LOL We all arrived about the same day, got to Post-Grading at almost the same time, and we've now all been waiting the same amount of time to see the grades

Did you check "Seller-Ready Images?" They posted my images with grades before they shipped the cards.
