CGC Changed Their Grading Scale & Label

So they graded the lugia?

Yeah but since they are 9.5s, about to be gem Mint 10, the certs show nothing but the card description. They aren’t adding anymore 9.5 gem mints into the system since 9.5 is going to also be the new Mint+ grade. Once they officially add the new grades it should link up to my cert normally.

Good to know! Hope they sort it out soon. Can be quite misleading

What do you guys think the new rates will be for those with standard memberships?

I’m guessing 12$ bulk and maybe 10$ for the distributor level tier

I’m hoping but they are taking a while to release these fees which gets me scared lol

yeah, it seems like the obvious move to defuse some backlash that was predictable. You’d think they would headline with this stuff

IMO the only black label that matters. Not mine

At least 2 perfect cgc 10s died for that black label :saluting_face:

Or

300 psa 10s :melting_face:

Just sent 20 cards to CGC today to get their label swapped, a couple 9.5’s but mostly some pristine’s. Very excited to see them in person.

I’m waiting until their price announcement on the 11th because according to their social media guy they are going to start allowing multiple services to be used in one order and shipping will be combined

CGC released their info for the National Sports Convention in Chicago. Might go there and do high end reholdering. Considered doing a crossover to PSA for my Lugia but feels too soon to jump ship from a Pristine to a PSA 10.

I’m assuming I’ll have to wait for the 11th to see how much this high end reholdering fee is going to cost. When they announce their new pricing.

If I remember correctly PSA does in person grading at the national. But you have to get there early because the line is hours long. But you get the card back same day or next day I think

Yeah it works the same as CGC. But hopefully with much better lines at CGC lol.

Is it true that PSA was more lenient back in the day? Like they are a lot stricter on grades now?

10k+ reholders is $15

Yes

You’ll find “strong” or “weak” grades across every PSA cert era.
