CGC Seems to be up and running.

Checked the site today. Say they are taking cards. $15/card for standard, which does not seem to require one to specify estimate value. Says 45 day turnaround.

Has anyone subbed? I checked for other threads on this and didn't see. Hopefully, didn't miss.

I'm not a huge fan of Slabs to begin with, I think there label is god awful. That being said seeing a new company in the game is refreshing, and how they end up doing along with the services they provide is something to watch.

From the looks of it the only service that has a minimum requirement is their Bulk Service, which is a 50 card minimum. I linked the chart below if you want to check it out.

I tried to create a submission. (Going to send in some cards and sell on EBay auction to see how the numbers compare vs. PSA/SGC)..worth giving them a shot. Looks like they aren't ready for submissions yet.

They have a website.

I've emailed them last night and got a reply. They are not ready for submissions yet. The email stated very near future.

Someone in a different thread mentioned that they would be at the Dallas show at the end of January/ beginning of February. So I wonder if that will be the time frame that they start taking submissions from the public?

That would make a ton of sense to set up at the biggest current show in America. In addition, since both Andy and Westin worked for BGS, they should have contacts here in the DFW area.

I wonder if they are going to be present at the show. if so, that makes sense.

FWIW, CGC is to comics what PSA is to sports cards. Comics have been skyrocketing this this past year too. I have been slowly selling off my Fantastic Four collection. I had several CGC graded books and they sure made it easier for me to price and sell. Restored comics is a thing too. For my ungraded comics I get lots of questions about restoration and I have to say look this is from my personal collection, I'm not a professional grader.

I've only ever paid to have a 1-2 cards slabbed, actually I think it was an autograph authenticated. I generally buy them slabbed and let someone else deal with getting them graded.

That said I've wondered about ranking some of the other grading services after PSA. From this thread it sounds like it goes:

1. PSA
2. Beckett
3. SGC

I think I have some Sandberg rookies from GMA (10) that I bought several years ago. Wishing I had PSA 10's now given the recent rise in values.
