First time submission with PCG Experience & Grades
I submitted Express and do appreciate the pricing and quality of slab.
SLA Experience:
It took about 4 business days from delivered to go into received. I would love to have notification that it was at least in their hands however this could be standard practice.
Took about 18 business days to finish grading then go to shipped and finally 3-4 business days to be received. Keep in mind that Labor day did occur during this time and they have been more slammed as of late.
Grading Experience:
Overall pretty happy with the submission and grades were as expected/better than expectations since I have seen so many get riddled with 9.5. For the Wing Zero I was hoping for a 9.5 but can't complain with a 9 since it has rear holo bleed dots which has been common with factory defects with GD05. Pleasantly surprised/thrilled with the multiple Pristine 10s I received.
Slab:
They definitely feel like quality slabs and appreciate the sub grades to help understand the grade I am getting. I do think might have been nicer without the inner sleeve as potentially it could reduce shimmer or presentation of a card but please correct me if I am wrong.
Feedback:
Online Imaging: Looking forward to having actual scans in future submissions that would be great to reference for future buyers or collectors to have a piece of mind to know that they're getting what was actually graded.
Staging Transparency: A bit more transparency during the grading process whether it be a received status when it gets signed then actually starting/opened package and researching would be great however not too bad how it currently is.
Return Tracking: Not sure what happened with mine but I never received the return tracking email but would love for it to have been in the order along with the stage so I could pop in and check it for myself.
Overall satisfied, was it a bit longer than promised? Yes but they're also building the new campus so looking forward to the process getting even better once that's up. I would definitely grade with again in the future especially for PC. Looking forward to seeing how PCG does in the future and where potential 10 premiums are in comparison with the big players.
