or My second invoice from NYCC 2012 is coming back

I wonder if it's just the signature series that get priority. Both invoices that are on its way back have been on time. CGC has kept to the allotted time as far as their current turnaround times...NOT the estimated times. And maybe they will get on track but I wonder if those that grade the comics will be grading the new movie lobby grading cards as part of their work load...

I am patient with CGC mainly because my thought process is "if it isn't sitting at CGC then it would only be sitting here." But back to my point about the signatures, there is a service I use with Twin City Auctions for when I want a 9.8. I let him know the title and he makes sure he finds one for me, if he can't, then I don't have to pay. It's a great service and one I was very skeptical about until I used it the first time. With money being short I have only asked for two books in a 9.8, one of them being the final issue of the New Mutants and the other the reprint of the Thanos Quest.

He told me with CGC being as slow as it is, I would have to wait. I told him I understood and I had no problem waiting. So now on eBay there is a copy of that very book sitting (as of this writing) at only fifty dollars. There is only one bid. At the moment between the purchase of the book, the signature grading fee, and the shipping/insurance fee, that is less than the cost of what it took for him to get that book so quickly, not to mention he had to fast track it.

I would bid, if it weren't for what I just bought and I already have one on order. To anyone who has voiced their opinions on CGC recently, could you please tell me where they are at now with your invoices? I am curious since I already have one back from CGC and one on its way. The last invoice is a Modern invoice. The only thing special about it is that it has more signature series books on it so I am curious will I get them back before 2013 or not. Either way...I am patient.

Thanks for Reading
