I always am. I've subbed hundreds of cards with SGC, and this will be still be somewhat new...waiting like I've been reading recently. I don't mind waiting once the cards are on site. I'm always fearful of losing them during the transit process. And them sitting at Post Office for a week, while the USPS sends me reminders to "pick up" always has me on edge.

Oh, yeah, I completely hear you on that. I sent a number of cards to be graded in the past 12-15 months, one order having a value over 8 grand, and that whole submission was a nail biter! Good luck! Hopefully they get it today for you so you can relax for the holidays!

Thanks. I would be biting nails at that value too!

I believe they are still picking up packages every day from the post office - contrary to the rumors you might see on here.

Sometimes, your package might show as "awaiting pickup" or some other not-delivered status, but it has actually already been picked up / delivered.

The USPS uses a scan sheet for the packages that go to SGC and some packages are left off the scan sheet by mistake and won't show as "delivered". If that is the case - you'll get a confirmation that SGC has your package once they start processing it - been 5 to 10 business days after being picked up as of late.

Too much evidence against your belief. Multiple people here had orders sitting and they were picked up on the same day and time. There was also someone that heard from SGC that they weren't picking up packages every day.

Has anyone had a package marked as received recently? Think I am at 6 business days right now after they picked up my package and nothing... They did create the folder for my images for my other order, so I should have my order pop soon.

Edit: 5 minutes after posting this I got the email my order was received.

swerve · 12-22-2025, 11:24 AM

I have a 10 card order marked received on 12/8, no movement since. I do believe this one sat at the PO for a couple of days but I'd have to go back to verify.

I'm very familiar with the process there, once it arrives. I've graded hundreds of cards with them. Just hadn't seen a package sit for a week or longer (on my Informed Delivery). I heard back from SGC this morning and Tyler told me that they picked up all cards last Tuesday. Mine has been marked as sitting there since Monday (@the PO). So, now I get to sit and sweat for a few more days.

discodanman45 · 12-22-2025, 06:30 PM

My 11/3 received order popped today. Once I get some seller ready images, I will share. I have no idea how they grade the hand-cut Wheaties and I am sure they don't know as well.

Images are ready. Don't really care about the Wheaties grades, just want full blue borders!

tconte · 12-23-2025, 12:51 AM

Nice grades! Cards look very sharp!

That's a nice sub!

My latest sub was physically received at SGC on 12/16. Tyler confirmed that for me. They finally received them into their database today (12/29). I have subs in with multiple graders, just to test others versus the declining SGC. Kind of a sad slow (maybe not slow) decline for SGC.

Woah, that first part was fast! Not so much on posting grades.

Sorry should be 12/29

Stupid fat fingers

ksemmel · 12-29-2025, 05:26 PM

So basically their 15-20 day subs are taking about double the time it seems

Longer if you take into consideration they are only picking up packages a few times a week and taking forever to mark them as received.

jamcas997 · 12-29-2025, 09:10 PM

Mailed Nov 15
Arrived USPS BOCA Nov 20th
Picked up Nov 21st
Checked in on Dec 1st, ten days later totally unacceptable!

Yes all modern Cards they better pop 10s for the shenanigans!

Welcome to the level of service Collectors Universe provides. My latest PSA sub took over a month to check in. It's basically reduced my desire to grade cards to zero.

JesseJay · 12-30-2025, 07:59 PM

Grade pics a available
Super happy with the Gretzky
The 10s are wonderful, wondering why the finest only got 9.

Now they get sent to Montana and then couriered to Calgary. Will keep updating.

I had a submission delivered to SGC on 12/19 that is still not logged in as "Received".

They must be even further behind with logging in new submissions due to the holidays.
