Times vary widely

Turnaround times vary widely. CGC’s express services can be as fast as a few days, but economy tiers may take months. CBCS standard grading often takes several months; its express tiers are quicker. PGX claims the fastest service, with standard grading around 40 days and next‑day options for a fee.
