Do I dare look...

Ive been a member of the CGC Registry for a number of years, but its always been a FREE membership. I figured, why pay for a membership when I can get a discount on submitting my books by filling out the submission form using any number of websites...commicspriceguide.com, wwcomics.com, and pcei.com just to name a few.

So I bring a couple of economy books with me to the Amazing AZ Con in March that I wanted to have pressed then graded. The kind folks at the CGC booth proceded to inform me that since the CGC and CCS computers arent yet integrated, I will need to fill out separate submission forms...and I would need a PAID membership. Sigh. Looks like I have no choice, so I opt for the regular membership. I dont submit books often enough to warrant paying for a higher level membership.

Now that Im paid up and my books are submitted I do have one perk I didnt have before...being able to view my order status via the CGC registry. Thats pretty cool. Today my order status has finally changed to Shipped Safe and my grades are posted. Man...it is taking a lot of willpower, but I would rather wait for the books to arrive and open that box to find out the grades I received rather than take a peek online now. If I find out the grades now, then its just not as big of a deal when they arrive.

I will let you know the books when they get here, and how they graded. Always hoping for 9.6, but expecting 7.0...its all we can do.

Til next time...
