Turnaround times reflect the estimated number of working days to complete a submission delivered to our facility today. Turnaround times are estimates only and are NOT guaranteed. If a card is not yet in the CGC Cards database, the submission may experience a longer turnaround time because CGC Cards will need to conduct proper research to add the card to its database.

Notes:

The fees above apply only to direct submissions to CGC by Collector members. In the event that CGC, at its sole discretion, determines that the fair market value of a collectible is higher than the value stated by the submitter, CGC will move the collectible to the appropriate higher tier and the additional charge will be the responsibility of the submitter. For more information on determining fair market value, review the Declared Value Policy.

Collectibles submitted for regrading with their original label ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO RECEIVE THE SAME GRADE. CGC does not return Mylars, backing boards, card savers, sleeves or any other storage/shipping materials sent in with collectibles. Please do not send your collectible's Certificate of Authenticity (COA) as we cannot guarantee that it will be returned. Once submitted, CGC cannot make changes to any submission. Please note that national holidays and the Fridays before a major convention are not counted as business days for submission processing.

Membership grading credits CAN be used for On-Site Grading.

FAQs

When does the estimated turnaround time start?

Turnaround times reflect the estimated number of working days to complete a submission delivered at our facility today.

My submission has arrived according to the delivery service, but it’s not showing up in “Submission Tracking.” Why?

Submissions are viewable in Submission Tracking after the contents of the submission are confirmed and entered in CGC’s computer system. Until then, packages are safely and securely stored at our facility.

What’s the difference between business days and calendar days?

Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and public holidays. CGC’s estimated turnaround times are based on business days, not calendar days.
