or, why I can't get my books graded...

Well - because all of you who have books being graded too, clogging up the queue.

I guess that's kind of the thing about summer. Pretty much every work week only has four business days for turn around time with convention Fridays not counting - that doesn's sound like much, but it is a 20% reduction in days per week...

Add to that all the people who wait till the local convention to submit their comics for grading to save on shipping and you have created a substantial backlog of books to be graded at every level (ok - that last poart is a guess, an educated guess - but a guess).

So now my books that were received on April 21st are in their 25th day - 20th if you remove all those Fridays - and their still sitting at verified...each day I log in and hope to see their status change, and at the end of each day I check again.

Wish me luck - it's only a couple hours till 5 eastern time, and then I'll check again.

Happy Hunting.
