CGC Grading Yugioh & Dragon Ball

I've heard CGC is starting to grade Video Games, which is slightly disappointing since we still could benefit from Pokemon Jumbo Cards (25th Anniversary) and Yugioh Cards -

That sounds a lot like Market Manipulation and would hurt their reputation and business. -

Whenever the turnaround times increase I just automatically consider my order grandfathered into the new turnarounds. The way I see it, would you want a grader to take the proper time to give you the most accurate grade/market value? or do you just want it rushed w/ mistakes? I am just as concerned about the turnaround times as you are and asked about the workforce increase/adding of physical space and got this response from the community "The processes involved in grading aren't easily scalable. If it were, there would be new entrants into the marketplace doing it better/faster. All the grading companies are watching mail trucks dump millions of cards in their warehouse, knowing there's just no way they can get to it quick enough." Also, keep in mind Target and Walmart can't even keep up with the demand for Pokemon Product. (empty shelves 24/7 at least for me) We're all in the same boat.

1996 Pokemon Vending Stickers, Gradeable?
Michael Ledon replied to MisterBox's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
yea CGC has had a lot of requests to grade a whole bunch of different collectibles. I think they can handle it, but they'll need time to get card registries in order, manufacture (or outsource) the different kinds of slabs, increase workforce (and build the appropriate buildings). It's an entire process but I believe they can one day pull it off. -

Also, I've heard a new CGC Building is under construction. Can anyone confirm is this a receiving/shipping department? grading department? either way that's good news in my book

Learning so one day I can work for CGC But I could use the community's help! High Res Scans/Sub Grades (especially Heavily Played) would be helpful (serial numbers will also be acceptable) This is NOT a "Grade my Raw Card" Thread (Once i'm an expert I can help via CGC Forums) Any help would be appreciated!

My submission status has disappeared?!?
Michael Ledon replied to JonCGC's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
They have a card database in preparation for missing forms. Same happened to me and it was all good =] The wait between "Received" status and "Grading" is perfectly normal too. -

Michael Ledon replied to UncSven's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
Think of it this way, CGC slabs are increasing in value so much that CGC is getting even more people into the hobby! hence more customers. I gotta say I absolutely love the consistent grading CGC has. It's very accurate, just in my opinion. And if the slightly longer turnaround time (but not too much) allows the graders enough time to give us the proper grade a card needs, then i'm all for it. btw is CGC increasing their workforce?
