Not weeks but I've been sitting there for one week now. They are still well ahead of their TAT for my order (11th business day for Economy order) but I am hoping it goes to the next stage by Friday anyway.

This is my 3rd week in QC from a bulk order that they put into the system on 6/5. They are still way ahead of schedule. I'm just trying to feel out the process a little better. This is my 5th submission to CSG, but I don't believe I ever saw an order sit in one spot that long with CSG before.

Look at the 9.5 pile to the 10. I definitely had the wrong grader with 10x amount of 9.5s compared to 10s. In my previous 7 submissions, I had about equal amount of each. Not complaining, just pointing out what can happen

1st time submitting with CSG how long does it typically take for your package to show up on the confirm package delivery page? I had a package delivered on the 5th and still not showing up on the CSG page as scanned in. Like I said first time so maybe this is normal?

They are likely way backed up at this point. My package picked up on 7/5 was in the system yesterday. If your package was delivered 7/5 and picked up on 7/6, it should be scanned in soon. I used USPS.

Same, Mine is not in, it was delivered the 5th also, they are probably running slow.

My reholder order was picked up on the 30th and showed up on 7/1. For comparisons

My order that was picked up on 7/5 is now "Received" under the CSG Submission Tracking. My 6/9 marked received order has not moved past "Scheduled for Grading" since 6/10.

just be glad you weren't submitting about 3-4 months ago and getting the lovely grader that gave out 8.5's like candy with green labels that are even more worthless now after the grading scale change and newer labels

Still chillin in Grading/Quality Control, between the price change and the PWCC deal the TAT seems to be moving closer to what is on their website. Tomorrow will be the 14th business day since received though so still not behind, hopefully I'll see some movement by the end of next week. Has a couple PC cards I need back to finish off my Asuka display.

Same. I don't think I've had a sub in Grading/QC for over a day before. MY current sub has been sitting there for over a full week.

The TAT is slowing down, but still not bad for the price paid, especially for bulk.

Order 1 (bulk) - Finally some movement

6/8 delivered, 6/9 Received, 6/10 Scheduled for Grading, 7/11 Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging

Order 2 (Bulk)

7/5 delivered, 7/7 Received

Definitely slowing down from May where it seemed even bulk was out the door in a week. I find it funny that all the PSA people are saying how SGC/CSG need to lower prices, but they are doing fine. It is PSA that is looking desperate for more submissions these days to keep their backlog healthy for their 1 million cards they will have to grade a month in 2023 to stay afloat.

Only downside for me, and I don't know if everyone is like this but I check it at least two times a day for an update. I can't help myself, even though I know they still have 10 more business days to meet their estimated TAT. So the sooner they are done the sooner I can stop checking it.

I was in the habit of checking mine, one 4 card standard order arrived today according to USPS. The Standard orders definitely move through the system faster. It is a 4 card Kaprizov order. I bet they will be back in my hands before the end of the month.

Lots of great deals on CSG slabs last night on PWCC. Looks like the express csg promo is working. You all should take advantage of the CSG Special PWCC is giving right now. Awesome stuff.

Keep them coming.

Awesome to see you change your tune on CSG!

Or should I report for trolling?

The thing that is great about CSG, especially prior to the price reduction for PSA, is when you miss getting a 10, usually the 9.5 will at least break even if not make a little money @$15. If you miss on PSA/SGC WITH a 9or 9.5 grade at their price of $30, you usually lose. They definitely can be a winning play IF you know what you are doing.

CSG definitely has a place in the sports card grading world. I dont mind buying CSG and CGC slabs.

Keep on supporting CSG everyone, they might have a hard time if PSA keep lowering prices, so sub to CSG in bulk to keep this company moving along.

Yeah, I know that guy. To say I was surprised by a few grades would be an understatement.
