    They didn't take in 100s of boxes either :eyeroll:

     

    I know that you're firmly rooting for the other company to succeed, but if they managed to pull in 1/10th of the submissions CGC did at NYCC, it would be a miracle - and I very much doubt they did even that.

     

    1. I figured boxes meant they could be any number of different sizes. If it's long boxes people are referring to...ok, they didn't take in a hundred boxes. :)

     

    2. I'm not rooting or pulling for one over the other at all. Do you see my registry? Go look. Those are all CGC comics that i've spent my hard earned money on. I am pulling for CGC to succeed as well as the other company. Two can live in this market and survive and I can like/use both companies. It's not a crime.

     

    Back to the OP, if you want fast turnaround at a con, wait until onsite grading. Pay the premium and you get your books back that weekend. Other than that....pick your poison and wait the time it takes to get the books done.

     

     

     

  2. The other guys are still sorting as well. Patience my lad... patience.

     

    :gossip: the other guys emailed me on monday that my submission was received, in the system and in que. Granted I paid for the higher end tier but still.

     

    Same with me. Back on Monday and in safe for grading. If they can do it....why... ah forget it. :sumo:

     

    Yeah but did the other guys take in 100 boxes of submissions?

     

    I don't know or have facts to back it up.... But from what I saw and heard, they had 5-6 people deep on Thursday morning subbing...and it didn't let up on Thursday. I subbed 12 books and I was told they took in record submissions. So I would think yes.

     

     

    If you think the other company took in 12k books during NYCC, you're smoking crack. Come on.

     

    How would I know it was 12,000 books subbed? That info was posted after my post so I didn't say they did equal it.

     

    I would guess the volume isn't the same only because the awareness and trust isn't close yet due to such a short time in business. What they are getting is impressive to say the least.

     

    The question Beachbum asked me is if they took in hundreds of boxes, I still think they did but don't think it's equal to what CGC gets. Make sense?

     

    And i'm sure if you were at the show Beachbum, you saw plenty of the other guy slabs on many dealer walls. I think acceptance is pretty good considering and since it is your business...i'd imagine you have your eyes open about how they are selling too. 2c
