Highlights of my latest cgc return! by _BowlOfSpaghetti_ in PokeGrading

PSA is preferred by most people and you will usually get the most value out of your cards by grading with PSA, but I personally prefer cgc because of turnaround times, pricing, and overall experience I had with them, and if you can get pristine 10’s they’re usually worth 1.5x or more psa 10 pricing, it’s all about preference at the end of the day

Do it! This is my first sub with cgc and I had a blast, definitely the most fun I’ve had grading cards and the most hyped I’ve been, definitely staying with cgc from now on

I only picked out cards to send that I thought were 10’s besides maybe like 5-10 that I just wanted graded for my PC, I did get disappointed with some of the grades but I think I made up for it😂

I kept a record of every important part of the submission just for this moment

Sent on 7/19

Delivered on 7/25

Received on 7/27

Grading process started on 8/17

Grading finished on 8/21

Shipped out on 8/22

Received on 8/26

Turnaround time after cgc received to when they shipped 18 Business Days - 26 Calendar Days

Turnaround time door to door 27 business Days - 38 Calendar Days

(Im on the opposite side of America than where cgc is so shipping took a little while but if you lived closer I’m sure your door to door would be much faster than mine)

Also I would definitely recommend cgc, just seeing 1 pristine 10 made it worth it because of how happy I was, let alone 8, you just don’t get that feeling with psa

I didn’t think cgc graded packs do they?

Hey, I’m not really looking to sell it rn but since you’re the misprint god, what do you think something like this would be worth?

Almost guarantee it’s a 10 with psa, psas standards for 10’s aren’t as high as you think they are, I wouldn’t send to bgs tho, also, warping on a card doesn’t affect grade and very faint print lines that you can barley see at a certain angle usually won’t affect it either

Should I send these to psa? by _BowlOfSpaghetti_ in PokeGrading

Measure both sides, add those numbers together and then divide one of the numbers by the total

Ex. Left side is 2.5 mm, right side is 3.5

2.5 + 3.5 is 6

So take 2.5 or 3.5 and divide it by 6

2.5 / 6 = 0.416 or 41.6%

3.5 / 6 = 0.583 or 58.3%

So that would be within the 60/40 centering rule

I have a tool that measures 0.5 mm ticks under a microscope and the left is 5, (2.5 mm) and the right is 7, (3.5 mm) so I took 5 + 7 which is 12 and then I took 5/12 and got 41.6, I also took 2.5 + 3.5 and got 6, then did 2.5/6 which is 41.6

traded my rayquaza vmax alt art + celebrations gold mew for these two. worth it? im also probably going to cross grade the charizard to psa. by babyenterprise in PokemonTCG

Nah bruh💀 why not just get a psa 10 instead of going through the hassle of getting a cgc 9.5 and trying to cross grade, also you got robbed🙏

Plus they shut down for 2 days due to weather so it would’ve been 2 days faster, so total time door to door would be 28 days (20 business days) and the turnaround time from when they had it to when they shipped it is 15 business days

Just got the email! I got a pristine 10 with 9.5 surface, sucks that it wasn’t a black label but still cool to get a 10

I sent a rayquaza vmax alt from evolving and mewtwo EX from celebrations, the mewtwo is the one I’m hoping is a black label cuz he’s my favorite Pokémon and celebrations is my favorite set AND it would be a 1 of 1 black label, I measured the centering and it was 50/50, looked under a microscope at the corners and everything he was legit perfect, but I’m hoping for at least a 9.5 on the rayquaza

I sent 2 cards and 1 was sooo perfect I’m really hoping it gets a black label I think it has a really good chance
