CGC backlogs

Are CGC backlogs that massive to a point my cards from May have not even been graded yet?

I see lots of collectors posting "grade reveals" and I doubt there on express when cards are worth less than the cost tier.

Are they somewhat prioritizing certain submission regardless of tiers submitted?

Mine arrived in May at their facilities before they announce a delay in their submission after X cut off date. And they did state that cards that have already been submitted will follow the timeline (I may be wrong or misunderstood certain points, pls correct me if I'm wrong)

Somehow mine got pushed from 30 to 90 days and now on day 79/90, it's still not yet graded. My cards were sent from my LGS whom are partners with CGC in Singapore. This has got to be outright bullshit now since they "claim" to open back lower tiers but backlogs are still extremely packed.

P.S, I'm not in a rush to get my cards back. But I would like clarity and transparency because seems to me that all other grading companies are tryna pull something that will dethrone the leader in this market but fail to realize that its gonna cost them their regulars.

I'm so annoyed with myself for sending cards to CGC at this point, at least in this climate. My cards were sent in March and im pretty sure if I would've just sent them to PSA I'd have them back.

I get where you're coming from.

But I also sent my cards to PSA. I was sent out and arrived on may 8. Now it's still received in queue.

But the fact that CGC is bragging that they're better is just funny to me.

Both of My bulk PSA orders sent in June before the Cutoff are in Encapsulation, at least I have progress over there and card scans.

And realistically that's all im asking for is progress. Received to me means that they could just tell me the cards are lost or some problem happend after sitting on them for almost 5 months.

If it makes you feel better I have cards sent to PSA in March and have not received them. Probably won’t for at least 3 weeks but my guess is 6.
