Just saw the news on Instagram. I’m going to ship my package soon. Anyone else excited and what are your thoughts about the future of European grading ?
CGC will take a huge market there and I wonder if PSA or Beckett will follow up ?
Submitted some cards in May this year through them.
Everything went smooth and communication with them is ok, they sometimes take quite long to respond. Got my second submission out a few weeks back, everything is entered in the CGC system and I can track my order there so it seems to work really well.
No imports or very expensive return shipping so you should be good.
Curious to see what the turnaround times for reslabbing is, would not be surprised if they get overwelmed…
Edit: With them I mean NGC, the company in Munich sending the cards to CGC in the USA.
For me the experience can not be any better. Up to Date tracking, no need to ship packages directly to America, courier shipping on it`s way back to me…there is simply nothing negative I can say about it
Great news, even for those Europeans who are primarily collecting/grading using PSA. PSA is now way more likely to follow CGC in establishing market presence in Europe or risk losing their market niche entirely.
There is an important difference though. Dacardworld is only a
Submisson Center. They take your cards and then ship them
To California where they will be graded. That’s suboptimal, as you still have to deal with long waiting periods and the risks that come with international shipping. With CGC, OP says in the title that they will grade in Germany, which is much faster and safer for Europeans. So unless there is a misunderstanding and CGC also has only a submission center in Germany, PSA is behind the competition.
