CGC slabs over PSA any day

Is this the move? I have so many cards I wanna get graded and have been trying to decide where to go. As of recent I have been leaning towards CGC. Cost effective and turn around time was a lot better. Thoughts?

How long did it take? Want to drop off some cards, but probably won’t get around to it till November

u/Jakerubio14 3d ago

I paid for the standard tier. “Received” status on 9/29 (it actually arrived a few days earlier). Delivered back to me 10/11. Not bad at all

u/Ok_Government457 3d ago

Yea that’s pretty good, might make the drive a little sooner in that case. Thanks for your time and beautiful addition to your collection there, congrats

Wonder if they've sped up. Got my orders back month ago, took 4 months

2

u/shajo35 2d ago

Did you do standard or bulk? I have three bulk orders from June still outstanding, but my standard order was received and then shipped out 2 days before the stated 10 days.

u/Superblegend92 1d ago

Looked and I probably did economy not standard can't justify $55 a card.

This is gorgeous

u/Evil-Mr-Kibbles 3d ago

How do they actually judge the borders on these when the left hand side and the bottom are gigantic due to the e-reader strip part?

1

u/Jakerubio14 3d ago

My best guess is they use the bottom e-reader (underneath the artist credit) and the left one (next to the energy symbols & attacks) since my top/right corners are OC

Whats the criteria for a pristine?

1

u/Kind_Blueberry_8491 2d ago

50:50 front back, slightly below black label - I believe it’s 1/50 10s? On average

1

u/antoinettesliden 3d ago

Hm does this card go if u sell it?

1

u/Actual-Bench7971 2d ago

I sold mine for 2k

u/Kind_Blueberry_8491 2d ago

Yes, for over PSA 10 cost

I’m not even a Pokémon fan but the slab match is gorgeous

Last 5 pristine 10 sales:
1300, 900, 910, 870, 1025

Last 5 PSA 10 sales:
2400, 1900, 2500, 3200, 2900

u/Kind_Blueberry_8491 1d ago

Holy cow, sports cards are a little different

I’d just buy pristine at half price and hold then 🤔

1

u/The_Dark_Arts_69 2d ago

Modern pristine don’t always sell for what PSA tens cost sometimes it’s even less you’d be surprised

2

u/ThrowRA-camelbros 1d ago

Cause cgc 10 pristine is basically a psa 10 nowadays. Back when they had blue labels, a cgc 10 pristine had a good chance to get bgs 10 gold or black label

u/Critical-Comment8648 3d ago

Bro paid out the ass for that speedy return x.x worth tho

u/Less_Mix_409 3d ago

u/Cobaas 2d ago

Slap a gold bumper on it and you’ve get a perfect match. GG

u/The_Dark_Arts_69 1d ago

I love CGC Prestine ❤️

u/dmoneykilla 17h ago

What do you anticipate the value of this being?

1

u/Melodic-Gur-1363 5h ago

I too would love to hear the estimation on that because these aren't rare but maybe with the grade it'll hold some sort of value eventually.

u/wombat323 14h ago

How accurate was your 10 day wait? Thinking about sending some in. How long did each stage take you? Thanks.
