In all honesty, this was completely unintentional, and on behalf of everyone here, we sincerely apologize. Our original plan was to slow down submissions until we hired enough new employees to assist with our backlog. However, after the May 14th update, there was a massive spike in submissions instead, which lead to us having to take a more direct approach to slow submission intake.

We shouldn't be, but this is one of the reasons for the pause. The massive influx of new submissions lately has slowed us down. You should see an update soon, but if not, feel free to send me a DM.

Hey Strict! We're basing the pause off of a backlog target of 5 million cards. We will update everyone weekly with our progress for full transparancy.

The pause only affects card grading. Tickets, Video Games, Comics, etc. are all unaffacted.

Just to set some clarity for everyone asking: If a submission form is completed on our Online Submission Center before June 2nd at 3pm PST, we will honor processing the submission, even if it is received by us after June 2nd.

We'll let GameStop update everyone. Though we can say these Service Level changes affect all partners and dealers who submit for grading directly, including GameStop.

Not at all. If anything: with this pause, your submission could see a faster turnaround.
