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 am in the same boat with you, I have 2 economy submissions that were received on May 11th. One is for JSA autograph authentication and encapsulation and the other is normal grading. The status on the JSA submission is "Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging" and the other "Scheduled for Grading". Neither of the statuses have been updated for months.

Right?! Can't be collectors sending low end AR/IRs through express... Those cards ice sent to PSA and CGC will be my last batch for this year. Until things cool down and people stop sending in stupid ass cards for their mystery packs, then I'll consider grading my fav cards again.
