grades just popped on my 2 bulk orders of 50 cards each

Received - 12/30/2025 & 1/2/26
Shipped - 2/2/26 & 2/3/26

Let's see if I have the will power to not peek the results

Impressed with turnaround time well under the 40 day estimate

Maybe being an Elite member factors into that

Grade popped for my sports order and I do not have the willpower to wait, so I peeked.
I knew I probably wasn't going to do well, and it was confirmed...I rushed to get this order in before the increase, and some cards I did not look at super closely. I did crack two cards out and one got the same garde and unfortunately, one got a lower grade.

2003-04 Fleer Lebron James RC Lucky 13 #/500, was a BGS 9, became a CGC 8.5

Total order was:
Gem Mint 10 - 2

9 - 2
8.5 - 3
8 - 2 (puka nucua rc auto I got from Hit Parade)
7.5 - 1 (j'marr chase rc auto gu that I got from Hit Parade)

There has to be a card in my bulk order that is holding it up. I figured with TCG bulk it would have at least moved into grading after a month.

My economy received the same day, mailed together, grading/encapsulation

My economy went into quality checks today.

That's a bummer. Sometimes we just don't see some things as well as we could.

Grade breakdown…
Gem Mint 10…39
Mint+ 9.5…2
Mint 9…31
8.5…7
8…9
WTF 6.5?…1

Overall extremely pleased with the speed of a bulk order of this size and very pleased with the ratio of Gems as 85% of these were 1999-2000. Will need to look closely at the 17 cards that I must have overlooked something on.

That's a crazy good turn around on bulk! Nice grades too.
