Will higher prices net quicker service?

I normally go straight to the registry. It seems that the journals are the key things that I look at. Occasionally I do check out the CGC side just to see if there is any signature series worth sending some books in for. That is if I can afford them. This time I saw something else. And if you are anything like me only check that part of the site occasionally. After all it is not like they update it too often. This s what I saw.

Staring January 1st, 2012 CGC will be increasing their fees. Is it nominal or outrageous? Check for yourself. The books I would get graded myself are from the modern age so the dollar increase (before discount) isn't that much. Of course I am just a collector. I am not sending in hundreds of books at a time trying to turn a profit. I wonder what this will do for websites that sell mainly CGC graded books. Will the nominal increase to them be a large price gouge to us.

I am thinking now to send in another ten books just to finish the year. Part of me is thinking of the money I will save by sending in ten books. I mean I could save ten whole dollars....which gets me thinking, it is only ten dollars....I better send in fifty.

The other item they are including now is a $5 handling charge. I believe this is per invoice. I read this over quickly while I was playing pool so I suggest that you check it out yourself. And if you want your books back quicker the fast track went up by $2 a book. Another reason why I am glad I am patient.

Will they get another grader? I hope so. I was going to dedicate a future journal to this, and I still will but I sent CGC a message stating I would be interested. I don't know if there are any positions open but I would hope so. Of course this means I could no longer collect CGC graded comics, nor buy, nor sell. I told them I could abide by that so maybe I should start sending in MY New Mutants and Sandman series now this way I can get a full set if they say Hey why not, we'll use you.

Oh and I also told one of my friends that there is a certain New Mutants #17 on sale through eBay that I need to add to my collection. Once I have that, only four to go in a 9.8, three to go to finish the set, but maybe before CGC hires me (HINT HINT HINT...OK PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE) I will use my own graded copies to make the set 100 percent.

Thanks for Reading
