I think the last batch was delayed a little as they had to order more "9.9" labels.

Did Omega Red show up in the Book of Boba Fett finale? Really need him to show up in something!

Likely not the right thread for this, but I thought I'd share a bit more detail on this batch.

The following books were pressed:

- 3 x Uncanny X-Men 164

- Spider-Woman 1

- 3 x X-Men 4 (my presser initially told me I shouldn't get these pressed as he likely couldn't get them to 9.6 or 9.8)

Nothing else was pressed... I don't think you really need to press books that are extremely new.

The Sensation She-Hulk 39 was a big gamble, not really worth grading if it doesn't come back a 9.8. It was a dollar bin find from a few years ago.

A further update:

Grades seem OK. I was aiming for 9.4 on average on these two batches and likely got that on average, so all good.

The two batches shipped aren't mine (dad and brother's). Pleasantly surprised by the 10 unlimited punisher 1s we sent. Back in 2019 we sent 10 of the 20 that we thought were the 9.8 candidates. The 10 graded now, were not pressed (didn't really appear to have pressable defects). Getting some 9.8s out these is a surprise considering. 

Had another book come back as 9.4 with a small internal page tear... can't say I checked for that... and generally I would assume that would be from manufacturing? Oh well.

An update!

I haven’t submitted my grades yet. I’ll be sure to provide a further update tomorrow.

Maybe my books will get graded by next week based on Greggy's  dates.

My 9/14 received moderns are still at gei. 

So, those that didn’t submit at all got 73 points?

Failure…

$50 penalty fee if you don’t submit your grades.

I submitted my grades if anyone was wondering.

Good to know I guess, no need for me to refresh the submissions page every five minutes to see if the status of my 9/14s have changed.

Ugh… your 9/7 is still at gei

Honest question,  I turned off the auto renew for CGC membership.  If membership lapses and books still at CGC will they actually send them back?

Yes. You just have to get your membership in order if you want to submit more books.

No movement since 1 or 2 weeks ago.

Nice books, especially the cad variant. 

According to PGX, Stan Lee is still signing comics.

I also preordered 10 copies as I thought the cover looked great. I have 9 of these at CGC now 🙏

They seem to be holding their value fairly well.

It’s a picture of the encapsulation process with tons of customer books stacked. This is your bottle neck.

Uf4 is getting pretty hot again. Buy it nows picked off the last few days. Glad my two 9.6s didn’t sell at the last vcc.

Looks like I'm about 1 month away from by 4 submissions going into G/E/I

Then probably 1 more month to get to the next stage after that.
