drstrangelove86 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I feel like they could get away with only accepting cards from vintage sets. This would probably drastically reduce their intake without killing it altogether. It also keeps the people that are most likely going to continue submitting to CGC in the future happy - this whole "open new packs of cards and grade everything shiny" trend has to stop, it's not sustainable for anyone. bulldog1986 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toybot Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Submission Lottery would be my idea. Every X weeks or month(s), people will sign up with how many submissions they would like to do. Computer does a lottery and sends out confirmation to all people who signed up. Placement is locked when payment is made within 24-48hrs to lock in their spots. It won't be a problem to pay upfront because it'll be controlled how many can come in, thus wait times can be more predictable. Lazyboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish. Right now the people causing the biggest delay are the flippers, the people trying to catch the trend. The ones that don't give a damn about the cards themselves, they only care about the grade and what cash value it means for them. Half of the people submitting likely don't even have any personal graded cards they are keeping, all of them are going on ebay the moment they get their hot little hands on them. I would totally be OK with CGC grading only cards that are currently not printed. Arev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm here for the actual conversation though, and find an overabundance of gifs pretty distracting when reading through the posts. So to keep it less interrupted I used my superpowers and wrote a few lines of code and simply got rid of the gifs from my screen. To each his own.

Understand. There is a lot of good information here on the boards. When there isn't an overabundance of these threads crying about TAT or people thinking they know how a company should run their business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a relatively new forum, and a TAT pandemic to deal with, which is why most of us showed up in the first place. Too many threads are repetitive, I agree. In a few months I hope it settles down some, I'd like to be talking cards more as well. onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been on many different card talk forums for a long time besides just CGC. This originally was just comics. Now that it combined I had high hopes. So far they have been dashed , which is why some of the nonsensical gifs (although they are a response to the Bullmess being posted. ) LuckyMouse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you guys build a great community here, there's so much potential and clearly many passionate collectors. There are many threads on the comics area of the boards that could and should be replicated on the cards area of the boards. Threads that I like to think of as 'utility' threads, threads that help and inform and will stand up for many years. Threads like people to avoid on ebay or a thread devoted to showing off your comic/card room LuckyMouse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always interested in more knowledge and i do see some potential in several of the card threads, but it is still so full of jackwagon mess that needs to shape up or ship out. We will see and look forward to good conversation and contributions. BTW.. welcome to the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
