SGC processing times

jjbond · #1 07-04-2025, 04:53 PM

I'm on business day #25. But my stuff is usually tricky for them to ID....

jjbond · #2 07-19-2025, 12:06 PM

Mine show graded on 7/7, so it's been stuck in post-grading processing for almost 2 weeks. You would think that would be the easiest logistics to streamline and speed up......

Wonder if it's related to the leadership shakeup....but this order arrived at SGC exactly 2 months ago. And it's been stuck in post-grading limbo for 24 days. I emailed them...

I fear I'm sounding like a broken record. Are people still getting back their SGC orders?

Over a month in post-grade processing. Emails not returned. Sigh.
I understand that my orders might require more initial research, double-checking, etc.....but what would hold-up the order after the cards were graded?

Yes, I received both of my July subs back, one from 7-7-25 and one from 7-14-25(received dates).

I dropped off two card at the National on 8/1. Still sitting at Received, although it's only been about 6 business days into the stated 15-20 day turnaround time.

I was part of a 200ish card sub of vintage that was logged in on 8/1 and as of 8/11 was apparently in post grading.

Do not understand how Collectors was able to stop in the flow of subs to SGC like that at the same time they depleted the company of resources but it is like they just flipped a switch. Or maybe people have just stopped submitting assuming the brand is vanishing?

My small 4 card order didn't contain anything that would be remotely difficult to research. Shows graded on 8/7. This is the first time I've ever had an order spend more than a single business day in post grading :-(. Not sure entirely what's going on, but I am hopeful that they will ship soon.

A few hours after this post, my order got marked shipped. So they spent like 3 business days in Post Grading. Not terrible, but still usually doesn't take that long.

Collectors (the company) is purposely and intentionally slowing SGC down, limiting their resources, reducing their headcount, etc. Do you really want to deal with a corrupt and monopolistic company that purposely makes your grading experience as miserable as possible?

A PSA boycott would send Collectors a much-needed message, but the collecting sheeple are way too blinded and addicted to do anything other than throwing money at them.

Very sad... but thankfully (aside from Photos, Tickets and Autographs) there are still many forms of memorabilia that the sheeple don't feel the need to put in a slab.

I had about 30 cards graded fairly quickly but then stuck in post-grading for about three weeks till they got to me last week. I emailed while in post-grading and got a response right away that said I had several custom-sized cards or what have you. I did, but I usually do and I'm usually in and out of post-grading in about a week. You might have luck with a phone call.

I've found it interesting that I've also been hit with numerous emails from PSA offering a discount on first grading submission. I have plenty of PSA slabs but have never subbed with them myself. I've gotten 3-4 emails from them since submitting my last SGC order and I never got those sorts of emails before. I'm not going into speculation mode here but I've got my own ideas of what's going on.
