This is the first post regarding movement on a Value submission I have seen in some time. I have a sub that has been SFG since mid-July.  Maybe I will actually see those books again!  But probably not. 

Well, if you are like me, it is like getting new books, two of them were Newsstands I forgot I owned. I did get a 9.0 where I count exactly one tiny spine tick, no graders notes.

I don't understand why a person would decide that being on TV is worth losing $1000s of dollars when they sell a book on Pawn Stars.

I believe since all of it is staged there is some compensation, I know of a toy collector who did an episode and he stated the filming was done at a different location.

Hi PKJ, how many books were in your Value submissions and when were they received by CGC? I'm thinking these were all put into storage somewhere in a deep dark cavern.

One is 8 books the other is only 3. I don't remember when they were received as I tried not to watch them at all for months.

Are you fudging kidding me?  220 days for economy? CGC really needs to figure their  out.

If you can guess what the hot spec book for Jan 2023 you will be set, money in the bank.

I had two Value Submissions move to GEI today, been sitting at SFG since 9/30.

Joey has 3 other submissions of mine that he dropped off at the same time that got put under his account so can't see progress but when all these get back I will be done submitting.

Yeah I already knew that was not going to happen. Surprised we have not had a "Is Hulk Annual #1 a top 5 SA key?"

My 9-30 Modern Submissions just hit shipped , Seemed a little tight on grading but all of this batch (except the Spidey 194) were books I bought off the rack. My Value submissions still haven't moved.

Ironically the only two with graders notes had the exact same notes

Comic Description:
Amazing Spider-Man 194 7/79 Marvel Comics

Grader Notes:
light bends to cover
light creasing to cover
light spine stress lines to cover

Comic Description:

light spine stress lines to cover

I get that they need the payment to be finished before they ship. But that can easily be done when the books go into G/E/I.

I was kidding. The joke was with the backlog of books, the accounting department must be working a week then they actually grade books.

Nothing they are doing right now seems to have the customer's best interest in mind. 

On 2/22/2022 at 7:31 PM, Wheresmymarvelvaluestamp said:

Yep. They are charging early. My last submission was charged about 4 months before it shipped.

The accounting department has to get ahead so they can do their time grading books.

For slow modern grading I know that SFG and G/E/I doesn't mean much these days. However, I was wondering on average, how long does it take to ship the books after they go into Grading/QC?

 

For Greggy or the rest of us?

I have one sitting at G/QC right now so can update when it ships.

So they are quick at somethings then? 🤔 

Perhaps

Got three emails last night stating my payment was declined for 3 submissions, looked and the card I used nearly a year ago expired in August of last year. I guess going forward we will have to make sure the expiration on our card is not ending in the next two years. What is pretty comical is the last line of the email "Your submission may be put on hold if payment is not received soon." 

Oddly enough, only one of those submissions is at GEI, the other two are at SFG still (since September).

Well, this time they are $405 under what my invoices should have been so I really don't care. 

I swear the phone to accounting should just go straight to voicemail, as no one is going to answer that phone so why make you wait 5 minutes. 

When we didn't pick up, we  let the phone go to voicemail, which we didn't have to do.

Not just the first Abomination but a letter pages missive from Bill Mantlo (according to CGC labels for this iss).

Did not know about the letter, I have a couple copies just didn't want to see it linger.
