Or Waiting for Change

My last change for my invoices occurred Friday evening. I knew there would be NO change to any of them over the weekend, but I checked anyway. Not including any that are currently at CCS or other means, I have four invoices at CGC. Two are currently marked graded. This means they will both take the back stop and be marked "Grading/Quality Control" next in the line up. I think it might be time to update the protocols they use and maybe have it be completed as the following.

Received

Verified

Scheduled

Grading

Graded

Quality Control

Cross Reference Check

Encapsulation

Shipped

As far as safe is concerned I never consider a book safe until it is in my hands. The above is still the process they use, but worded differently not to mention shorter times in each category would make it seem like the process is quicker. Sure, it's only an illusion, but illusionists are cool.

Out of the two invoices I have marked graded, one is an "economy tier" fast tracked (through CCS as well), and the other is a "modern tier" regular service. Both were dropped off at the Baltimore Comic Con. Apparently fast track is quicker, but is it a gimmick for more money. Could you imagine fast track services in other parts of your life, the movie theatre, a restaurant, or sporting event. I am patient and will occasionally use the fast track service again, but over all not as much. Of course I day that now.

Thanks for Reading?
