SGC processing times

[Vintagedeputy]

Been a while since I’ve seen one of these threads so I thought I’d document it with a small 11 card sub that I just sent out to SGC.

Mailed: 12/14/23
Received by SGC: 12/19/23

I hear you, and also have an order of one card received by them on 12/19 as well. It is on the same 5-10 business time frame, but mine carries an $85 fee due to a $3499 valuation. Let's compare notes on this.

Dropped off 3 1924-25 Agiilitas at the Philly show on 12/1. Received notification of grades (scan) on app yesterday 12/19 Items processed for shipping by Fed ex 2-day delivered on Saturday 12/23.

I dropped one card off at the Philly show on 12/1

Got grades on 12/18

That Mackey is a great card, Jamie. I used to own one of the other four or five known graded examples. Mine was a 1.5.

[BabyRuth]

Submission done under the 5-10 business day turnaround:

11/04 - left 6 card(3 regular, 3 oversized) order with SGC at Boston show

11/17 - cards were listed as "post grading processing" on website

11/27 - contacted SGC through website inquiring about why my order was taking so long

11/28 - email received from Brent at SGC stating cards should ship soon

11/30 - I emailed back and said status has still not changed

12/01 - email received from Brent at SGC stating he'll try to move the
order along and apologized for any inconvenience

12/05 - I emailed back and basically said I want this resolved today

12/05 - email received from Brent at SGC stating a member of his team is
looking into why this is taking so long

12/05 - email received from Brent at SGC stating it took longer due to
oversize cards

12/05 - cards shipped on SGC website, email received stating order shipped

12/08 - cards arrived at my home

Just my experience, your mileage may vary!!!!!

I sent in a 5-10 day service 40 card order that was delivered on 11/21 and scanned in on 11/22. It was shipped back to me on 12/4, which was 6 business days later, as it fell over the long Thanksgiving weekend.

All of my cards received grade bumps over what PSA gave them, many of which were 2 full grades higher.

Were they crossovers or crack outs?

Nice! Tomorrow will be a month they have had my cards. I think throwing some Japanese cards into the mix might have slowed down my order....

[kimo75]

How long do cards usually sit in “post grading processing ?”

Yeah, I threw a Wheaties card into the mix and that’s probably what held me up.

Mine was also received on 12/19/23, but shipped on 1/2/24, so very similar results.

Just like PSA, took them until the next year!

SGC makes others look soooooo bad!

I know this is an updated thread for SGC current grading times, but I did see enough PSA references in here to say that I’ve been sending my cards to PSA for the last few months on the bulk, lowest value level expecting a three or four month turn around and getting them back in a month to month and a half. They were mostly modern cards, so I went psa and was pleasantly surprised.
Just sent off my first vintage lot in a while to SGC last week- will update when they return.

PSA is much slower with vintage submissions. Takes about twice at long as modern, currently.

[mantleman]

Sent a second Canadian submission (myself directly, not to a third party) and it was received by SGC on 27 December and will arrive back at my house via FedEx on Tuesday, 16 Jan.............roughly 21 days!!!!!

Incredible!!!!!

It was a mix of 60's Mantles and 2020 Mike Trout cards.

Sent through a third party. However I confirmed which ones I wanted to send out from a bulk lot on 1/4 and they received back in house and sent me graded pics on 1/26.
Pretty happy with grades and turn around.

Sounds like things are a bit slow right now. My small order was marked as received on 2/6 and has remained Received for two weeks now. Hopefully some movement soon....

[espstuff]

I saw them at the Burbank show in Ontario, CA this weekend as I was dropping off a submission. They said they were backed up (I have a few submissions that just got graded), but they are catching back up as there was a surge in January.

[JollyElm]

Submitted - 12/21
Received by SGC - 12/23 (Saturday, two days before Christmas.)
(What an idiot I am to send an order in amidst two back to back holiday weekends. Oy.)
Returned to Me - 1/12/24

That's 13 business days from landing in Boca to arriving back in my hands.

Congrats! I’m still sitting in post-grade processing.

My first SGC submission in about five years. Really surprised how easy it was to fill out my order. 32 cards submitted, 3 were cracked out of PSA slabs all 3 got the same grade from SGC. As soon as you hit submit your credit card is charged (which is fine but I don't remember that). It's $15 a card, and I already sent in another 19 cards. I live in Florida and since SGC is also in Florida your mailing times might be greater.

Mailed to SGC 1/12
Delivered to SGC 1/16
Received by SGC 1/17
Graded by SGC 2/1
Mailed by SGC 2/2
Arrived at my house 2/5 (today)

marked Received by SGC to Delivered to me: 14 business days

[jchcollins]

For anyone foolish enough to try the "Immediate" grading option, currently $40 (1-2 business days is the quote) - I did this recently on a single card order - one because I could, and two because it was an expensive card and wanted it back quickly.

I'm pleased to report that the service is as advertised. Once the card was logged in at SGC, it flipped to Post Grading Processing about 4 hours later. Did not ship until the next day, but still within the standard. I was very pleased. If only the USPS was as quick as SGC...

[Snowman]

My most recent SGC order:

Service: Standard (5-10 days)
Delivered: 1/17
Marked as Received: 1/18
Graded: 2/2
Shipped: 2/5

Business days from Received to Shipped: 12
Grades: Fair and accurate
Upcharges: Zero

[robinsonmantle]

Waiting for my grades from SGC, 30 cards, received 2/8.

My PSA order, 14 cards, is well over the 65 days.

Past the ten days. Hopefully not too many beyond.

I'm sitting on business day 13 for a 4 card order.. no bueno!

[brianp-beme]

Sounds like SGC caught a little case of senioritis when it was clear they were being bought out.

Day 12 on a 2 card order for me. They did flip to Post Grading yesterday. Was disappointed they did not ship today.

[bcookie]

Business day 13 has now come and gone on my last submission

[sonnyu2]

I submitted 1 card at the $85 level on 3/8 at the Philly Show. Still no movement on that order.

I’m on business day 29. Waiting for grades to pop. A few days ago most got very codes….

[jchcollins]

Sounds like they've slowed down. My small 2 card order was received 2/13. I kind of thought it might hit post-grading Friday, but it didn't.

[Vintagedeputy]

Update:

New submission: 23 cards, 5-10 day processing timeframe

Logged in as received by SGC: 2/20/24
Post-Grading Processing: 3/8/24 (No grades posted yet in the system)

[jchcollins]

Peter did speak to the recent "delays" in his most recent video. I know it was on Instagram, not sure where else.

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

still no movement for me

[shagrotn77]

I have a 6-card 5-10 business day order that's currently on business day 20. I understand delays, but the fact that they're still advertising turnaround times that they can't meet is troubling.

Blame PSA!!! LOL

[robinsonmantle]

It does seem likely are backed-up but then why not give Transparency? We are a little backed up, instead of 5-10 days like your website says it will likely be more like 10-20 days til your order is graded?

How big was it?

Only 31 cards. not that it should matter that much. Obviously they have multiple graders so a small order from a later date can pass a big order in the process, but still they should basically be completed in the order received regardless of size. They did a 500 card T206 order for me in the summer in 10 days.

[robinsonmantle]

They are all behind. My last 25 SGC was a week late in grades then another week to get the order back.

My current PSA 65 day order, turn around time? sent in early NOV is nearly a month late and counting . . .
