So far, 2021 has been a particularly exciting year for Certified Guaranty Company™ (CGC®). Comic books and other collectibles certified by CGC are setting record prices, and demand for our expert and impartial services is growing rapidly.
In response, CGC has actively sought and implemented measures to increase capacity while maintaining the highest standards of quality. As part of the Certified Collectibles Group® (CCG™), we have initiated a massive hiring push that has resulted in over 70 new employees being added in the last three months, purchased a multi-million-dollar new building, brought in efficiency consultants and worked thousands of hours of overtime. We have increased incentives to motivate and reward our employees and to attract new talent.
In this fast-growing and highly competitive industry, CGC is paying the most competitive salaries to attract the best talent. We are also investing in the latest technology and equipment that help ensure the accuracy and integrity of the grading process.
To advance these and other efforts, CGC is updating its membership tiers to be consistent with the other CCG companies, effective April 28, 2021. This update will make our processes more streamlined, resulting in increased efficiencies that will benefit our submitters. CGC memberships purchased prior to April 28, 2021, will continue to have the current membership benefits until their renewal/expiration date.
