any idea when the prices jumped to $25? i submitted an order and the prices were quoted to me at $15 (and $10 for a new case). got my cards back and they charged me $25 for every item.

the charge is on the invoice but haven't seen it on my PP/credit card yet. i have the original submission invoice that lists it as $15/$10, so we'll see how they choose to handle it. either way, done with SGC at $25 each.

how is that possible? They charge you when you submit online based on the invoice. My submission was March 2nd, and I paid the invoice they gave me based on $15 a card. They are not going to charge you higher than the invoice.

Why is the $25 price important? that is market rate for grading... at least you get your cards in 2 weeks. You should be comparing $25 to PSA/BGS express which take weeks(if not months) and charge you multiples more.

My submission was received on 3/9, and they gave me a date of 3/30. I expect it a week earlier.

hey bud, yes it may just be a glitch with the website where everything auto-lists as $25 now. my order was already paid for ($85 for 4 cards/1 reholder/shipping), but the order on my submissions says $140. i assume it's just a mistake but will keep an eye on it.

SGC is clearly the market leader in returning the cards these days, of that there is no doubt. but i've only used them for older cards that i just wanted slabbed since i like the all black look. for anything i'm considering selling off, i'm going PSA, regardless of the wait time.

I refuse to pay $25 to grade a card. I will just wait for a special and sub the way I always have done.

I can't see paying that either for most cards.

And for a company that desperately needs a decent registry, that won't help.
One of my submissions way back included some really nice 81 Topps commons, figured it was worth a try on some more modern stuff on a special. At the time, a registry was pointless for those, since they had only graded maybe 25% of the set.
At $25, that's going to become a very static statistic.

I think March 5th, I think you should be able to talk to them to honor back the price when you submit
The one i submitted on march 4th, i ask them to correct and on website it shows the new price, but i paid with paypal not credit card. will see what they say, but they should be honoring the old price since we submitted before the price hike

thanks. my order showed up on march 1st, was entered a week before that with the previous pricing. that's ballsy of them, but we'll see what the actual charge ends up being on my account.
