Running CGC (old CSG) Order Tracker

It’s a stolen card that CGC intentionally graded.

I like CGC by the way. Nice slabs, labels, and good standards. Don’t get why they feel the need to grade stolen cards though.

Weird CSG update:

I recently had a bulk sub finalize the grading process and ship but I noticed that CSG sent the 10 card portion of the bulk with subgrades through FedEx. I was 100% certain I chose USPS for all CSG shipping since that's the only service that I could pay for insurance through CSG at the same time of my submission.

I pulled up my invoices and, sure enough, they had "RMS" for my shipping service - Registered Mail Service through USPS. So I called customer service to find out why it was switched and to make sure all of my remaining subs were to shipped through the USPS service I paid for up front. Customer service couldn't explain why my sub got switched to FedEx besides claiming it was an accident. The rest of this bulk sub was also switched to FedEx for some reason but we were able to get it swapped to USPS because it hadn't been shipped yet.

So, pretty weird. Since FedEx isn't insured with CSG, it could be a costly mistake. I'm not too worried, but that 10 card sub has been with FedEx for 6 days now and is "delayed". I think it will eventually make it to me but I wonder what CSG will do if it is lost since I paid for USPS RMS insured but they shipped FedEx uninsured.

Anyway - if you've got subs coming back from CSG, maybe give their customer service a call to make sure you're getting the return shipping service you paid for.

Seems simple. If it is lost they will have to reimburse. It is there mistake for sending it uninsured.

From what I understand, they don't try to determine if it was intentionally released or stolen, just if it's authentic. Seems like a company policy to stay out of anything other than grading and authenticating.

I don't agree with that approach, but I can understand why they would do that.

That tactic just enables the thieves. They’ve done this with other releases as well. Without the “inadvertent” designation, they’re just regular cards. The only thing different about them is that they are stolen property.

Anyone know where the grades are visible in their portal? Have a sub in grading/encapsulation and haven't completed one before. Are they visible in the same line once grading has been completed?

Your submission number will be highlighted and clickable and that’s how you can view grades.

You can only view them once they’ve shipped

Got my first 10 from CSG in my first bulk order of 53 cards.

10 is SWEEEEET!!!!!

[RetailHitsOnly]

Got my cards back last night. Nice feeling. Nothing great, just PC cards. Got knocked hard on a diamond cut, but very fair.

Issue resolved. Thanks CSG.

Anyone else checking out the new registry? It seems that you can navigate your way to pop reports of some cards at least, but the numbers don't seem right...??

Not POP report, that’s the amount of points you get for your set depending on the grade

Duh.. okay, that makes a whole lot more sense! Sorry, I am obviously new to the whole registry thing...

54 card bulk order. Tracking showed it was delivered on 4/1, and logged into the system on 6/4. It had been in Grading / Imaging for a few weeks, finally shipped today. Cards are scheduled to arrive on 10/1. Exactly 6 months to the day after they arrived at the facility I will finally have them back. Quite a journey.

Please shed a tear for us with PSA/BGS orders that recently cracked 1+ year...

[iloveturbos]

Checked just now and it states, they are now opening packages delivered sep. 20. Last time I checked, it was like early May for a long time. Is CSG finally starting to catch up?

[rngrdanny22]

I shipped my first order to them in early September and it's showing in the system as logged on 9/17 and is "scheduled for grading".

[thewesdub]

Thinking about another 50 card bulk…is bulk speeding up some?

[imbluestreak23]

Hate to do this for the CSG fans but this order is completely unacceptable. I will never send another dime to this company. Comics yes, cards no. If this is the quality Rubin is going to pump out with Fanatics, we are screwed.

Are those scratches or scuffs? I got some with scuffs just like the ones in your video and I literally just hit the case with an eraser and the scuffs came right off no problem. The cases look perfect now. Try it and post an update if it works.

It's scuffs. Some of the scuffs do have deep scratches into the case itself. Just feeling the scuff it goes deep into the case. I've tried wiping with just simple water/wash cloth and nothing. Others have suggested car wax. I'll give something a try. Attempting to polish 300+ cards across two orders is no bueno.

Not quite sure you mentioned it in the video, but did your cases have some scuffs on them?

Seriously man, you praise them for their grade quality and then bag the hell out of them because some cases were scuffed. I've received MANY scuffed cases from PSA and BGS. It's not a CSG-only problem.

Some? Lol, over half!? I've graded thousands with PSA and never have I received a noticably scuffed case. 2/2 CSG orders and over 50% are scuffed. That's enough data points to ditch them for good and for me and my little bubble to assume it's a CSG-only problem.
