Received: 3/1 SFG: 3/5 still waiting. I've been seeing people with Received dates similar to mine start with the Grading process recently so fingers crossed.

Good question. I'd like to reduce the amount of shipping between submitting my comics, getting them pressed, and submitting them to CGC. I've had an issue in the past in which I submitted a few comics to a presser located a few states away and it was lost in the mail when it was shipped back. Obviously not the presser's fault, but it made me cautious about the fickle nature of shipping expensive stuff. Plus I'd like to actually meet the presser face-to-face and express any concerns/comments I have regarding certain comics I'm submitting.

Just got to say that my experience w/ MCS has been amazing. I do wish they were a bit faster w/ processing slabs to be available for auction/eBay and there was a better way to look up past sales data for slabs without having to hunt them down within each auction group (if you can find them). But those are pretty minor issues, still love using them for selling and their CS is fantastic.

For the East Bay, CA, there's a few notable ones: Cape and Cowl Comics -1601 Clay St, Oakland, CA 94612 - Easily my favorite spot in the Bay Area. Fantastic back issue area, constantly revolving top-shelf selection of keys, super nice staff. Prices are extremely reasonable too. Flying Colors - 2980 Treat Blvd, Concord, CA 94518 - originator of FCBD. They'll be moving locations soon apparently. Have a nice wall of keys but the prices can sometimes be a little crazy. They are VERY anti-slab so don't bring up CGC unless you want to get lambasted by an angry nerd.

I'm in

Did you ever get an answer for this? I realize this is 2+ years old, but I was wondering how MCS handles consignment sales given we don't give him our SSN.

Very, very happy with my latest pre-screen: and a very nice POP 1:

I'm currently doing my 1099-K expenses now...I really need to set aside money for yearly taxes lol. But yes, all income you make should be reported regardless of amount. If you sold it on eBay, the IRS has that info so you most likely should report it.

nothing better than seeing a $450+ charge on your card for a 25 item 9.8 pre-screen submission of 70s-90s books. Now just F5ing until they show which ones were rejected.

Someone actually bought it, wow

Happy with this one:

so this isn't comic related, but this eBay listing made me LOL. https://www.ebay.com/itm/176283445602?itmmeta=01HRZ3DDA5F5NQYT8811N1BJV8&hash=item290b4fe962:g:TdIAAOSw1bVl8OEm&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8EdqeHYTN16dX%2FhqWRWA7AJu1sVElh8dj5C1cIhUonexRStRycST0ZuUvoxckMMhsZapvTgv%2Fq1F0wlKf71S2Gpole6crgLOOob9W1%2B9lgPCiWq9pcU4VxvQ0wqduQH9MX762IHto6rXoH8SwZ54MqQBv2zjxMZLQEI%2FH5lz0B6W0AMx5%2FAV13riCQjyOayHvoXBRIVWx7doF4QQPuIQ94WA8hYwoCh1P90LkM2spf35E61VgIuXkXzTV3hzKbkPj8bMcuXR9isvxSiO0abHvPghEoZLhXDQEsBvf3O%2B0QsDRXaydQ04WaTvLr0WBnXAmw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMqNW148dj I love that they upcharged something that goes for ~$40 because the dot looks like a heart

Yesterday I had a G/QC pre-screen submission show the Status of each comic after being billed, but now the status screen is blank for all the comics. Hmm...

Well that conversation made my day

I've been loving the TRTs lately. The past few months I've had modern slow pre-screens be received-to-shipped in 8-14 business days.
