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

Kinda sad, because no one at Collectors will care about losing us. Even though I've subbed with SGC dozens of times in the last few years.

So with mine scanned in 12-1 I believe mine will not be done and shipped until after the 1/19/26 .

Would love to mail Nat Turner a smelly gift from my dog for ruining SGC.

It sucks because I've loved the product and service for years. And it's draining from me so quickly.

On the bright side, every other grading company sucks too!

I hope CGC does well and really puts pressure on PSA (and Collector's).

But they too have their issues, namely lower demand for those slabs and resale value in sportscards. Hopefully, this will change.

All grading companies have their issues now. All of them. Thanks, Nat!

I don't hold my breath on the value in their slabs going too far. But I'm generally okay with it, as most of my grading is for my PC cards. Having said that, I would be perfectly okay with their demand and value increasing.

It's rare that I have high end cards to grade. But I guess that happens when you focus on singles of your teams/players

Mine arrived 11/20 and was not scanned in until 12/1 with no updates. I have a show on the 2/1 and hope I get them before that. I am doubting it.

I have an order that was received in on 12/8. I think based on my last order that I might see that around the 8th to 12th of February. Only way I see it getting back sooner is the submissions have plummeted to nothing at SGC and the orders gain a week due to the lack of submissions.

I have an order scanned on 11/21 that has not moved, so yeah, don't hold your breath.

What an unfortunate fate for SGC.

My order that was checked in 12/2 just went to post grading this morning. What timelines have you all been seeing between that and being able to see grades?

I'm not sure what it is now. Over the last 5-6 years it's typically been 2-4 days in between post grading and shipping (being able to see grades). My latest batch was picked up 12/16 from the PO, and checked in on 12/29. Nothing since.

I had an order in June (as an example) that was checked in on a Tuesday, post grading was the following Monday, and it shipped that Wednesday. But those days are so long gone, and it's sad.

I once had a sub that was 11 days door to door from shipping to getting them back. It was awesome.

Back in December 2024, I had sub take a little over that time.

Then Nat Turner and team take over and they decide to make the
customer experience a poor one like they have with PSA. They have shown
no desire to improve on turnaround times. Just more of the same.
