My guess is that it was allocated between the two shows, and not the case that Emerald City got the sloppy leftovers from Wondercon.

current turn around rates at CGC
somewhereintexas replied to MarkDAnderson's topic in Comics General
General rule for counting days is that either the first day or the last day are counted, but not both. Plus, Memorial Day came in between, so it's been 17 business days since 5/12, assuming that CGC doesn't invoke the Friday before a major con exception. So really hard to tell how many business days it's been for CGC since 5/12 as Megacon and Wizard World Philadelphia (this one is probably a stretch) took place in the interim. -
current turn around rates at CGC
somewhereintexas replied to MarkDAnderson's topic in Comics General
My experience has been that submissions made at cons have a delay in being "received." The exception was Megacon, and perhaps it is because in that case the books were simply driven back, but for other shows the books are shipped back, and CGC doesn't necessarily process the packages as soon as they are received. -

Huge difference between not having to mix in with the regular line and causing the regular line not to move at all. Of course a VIP is entitled to a separate line that feeds in to the front of the table. But it's not slighting VIPs to have a system that gives VIPs uber priority and yet allows the line with the peons to not have to wait for every single VIP to get their items signed (some of them multiple times) before a single peon gets anything signed. Kind of like the fast pass system at theme parks. Patrons with a fast pass don't have to wait nearly as long as everyone else, but the world doesn't stop for them.

You are being a more than a little douchey. Even if you're a VIP, you still have stand in line with other VIPs. So you're always going to be standing in a line. Even if you walk up in the middle of a signing you don't go straight to whoever is signing. You have to queue up with whoever is already at the table. So would it be so bad if you had to wait a few extra minutes because they let a handful of people go through who had been in line for hours? Seriously. The sense of entitlement these days.
-
Easy to say "pay the money and get the VIP," but those things are limited and usually sell out long before the show. To me they should do like they do at airport security between "priority" and those that are not when there is only one person checking credentials--alternate between the two lines. It doesn't have to alternate evenly, but it should alternate. Hard to imagine VIP pass holders getting bent out of shape because a few people from the regular line are getting let through before them, and if they do, they need to get a life.

CGC grading after officialpix signing
somewhereintexas replied to hoffphil's topic in The Signature Room
Not trying to get a facilitator, but rather for Official Pix and CGC to work something out to allow Official Pix to send books to CGC directly from the signing. At most that would require a CAW to be present, but should not require a facilitator. Still waiting to hear back from Sam Peterson. -

I talked to Sam Peterson yesterday about it and he didn't promise anything but was trying to work something out. -
