  1. Standard received 1/30, shipped today 2/25. that's got to be more than 15 business days

     

    Got ya beat. Standard received 1/27/14, currently in QC.

     

    Doesn't CGC use FIFO for the same grading tiers? If so, how would this happen?

     

    Are Show Days also deducted once the books are in Graded status?

     

    No they do not use FIFO. should they, I would say yes.

     

     

  2. Two books standard received 12/26, shipped today 1/22. That seems to be more than 15 business days.

     

    I have pre screen values from 10/7 that say graded not shipped. That's over 3 months on those orders.

     

    I don't see much of any improvement in turn around times the past few months.

     

    CGC is attending three separate shows this weekend.

  3. I looked under popular search all ages, which I would think is all era's in comic books categories combined. New Mutants 98 is #3 which to me sounds accurate, yet New Mutants 98 isn't popular enough to crack the top 20 in either Modern nor Copper? ASM 300 is #20 over all, yet does not make the top 20 in a specialized category. I think Whetteon has an interesting site that has promise, I do like the idea and his support here on the Chat boards as a valuable member. However the site in my opinion still has bugs or errors in the software.

     

    Again. This is information from eBay who is watching and tracking this information. If your watch counts are wrong then either eBay is reporting it wrong or you are recording it wrong.

     

    I do not believe more people are searching on Ebay for New Mutants 87 compared to New Mutants 98. Explain to me why you have it #3 under the all ages section, yet in Copper new Mutants 98 is not ranking in the top 20.

  5. "Watch" counts are completely erroneous and irrelevant. Most of my watchers are other sellers seeing if I hit my mark . . . :baiting:

     

    Yes but Whetteons report is in error as its not accurately recording some of my watch counts, which leads me to believe that the search count is inaccurate also. The absence of New Mutants 98 and Amazing Spider-man 300 not cracking the top 20? Amazing Spider-Man 129 and 121 do not make the top 20 under bronze either, I'm not a believer.

  6. Most Popular Copper Age Search Terms:

     

    New Mutants #87 (Ha! Not #98.)

    Wolverine #10

    TMNT #1 (well duh)

    X-Factor #24 (will most likely change to #5 or #6 before to much longer)

    Web of Spiderman #1 (huh?)

     

    All 20 can be found on the website.

     

    I monitor my own listings with regards to watchers, many of my books do not make your list even though they have a higher watch count. New Mutants 98 does not make the top 20, nor does ASM 300 of favorite searches, sorry but those are the two mega Copper Keys. No X-Factor 6 either hm

  7.  

    Been one of the most overlooked BA/CA book in years. I sell NM raw copies for $50 all day long. I bet I have sold a dozen in the last 2 years they don't last long ever. Very easy sell in any grade almost.

     

    I disagree, how about decade +. I was getting $35.00 for VF back in 2001.

    Oh and many go to Australia.

  8. Do dealers get their books pushed through faster?

     

    No, I'm still waiting for my modern pre screen to get here that was invoiced on June 10th.

     

    I wouldbe calling on that one... my aug 26 is at graded

     

    It shipped last week, should get here any day. It was stuck at graded for what seemed like ever, two months or so.

     

    If you send books through walk through and express you get them done real quick, which is what some dealers do. So they pay the extra.

  9. Does anybody have any orders older than 6/10, I don't want to feel like I'm special.

     

    Modern from 6/10 ships on Oct 31st. Finally :acclaim:

     

    Over four months for a modern sub!!!!!!!! Really? Was there a mix up?

     

    I called a couple weeks ago about the order, they were not going to specifically go look for it, said they were 3-4 months on Moderns as they were backed up at encapsulation.
