Some recent Western acquisitions

Not CCS. Yesterday morning TAT's were hovering between 82 to 85 days. This morning it's 126 days

I've had a somewhat similar experience (but different field) happen recently. In late 2019, my veterinarian (of 24 years) told me her practice would be under "new management" come 2020. When I asked her what that meant, she said she decided to sell the business to a company which would allow her more time to deal with pet care and not have to worry about the business side of things. Flash forward to January 2021. After bringing one of my dogs in for treatment, said vet told me she hated the place, selling the practice was a huge mistake, and that she was going to retire in May (which she did). The practice has since been renamed and where there three vets at one time, there is now only one. And she is not full-time. One of my dogs has been vomiting off and on. I called them today and asked if could get someone to check out my pooch. The receptionist told me there were no vets on duty today and that she would have to call me back tomorrow regarding availability. Either that, or take my dog to the local pet ER clinic. Oh and the vet that stayed, she's not back until 7/13 and she's already booked up. Time to find a new vet clinic. Then I see the e-mail today about CCG being bought out. A coincidence? Most certainly. I certainly hope history doesn't repeat itself here.

I tried to start a submission just now and received this message ...

I bet the folks at CGC who open packages have some horror stories to tell!

Great - thank you, Dena!

Hi, I would just like to confirm the 2021 CGC Awards deadline date? In the initial announcement ... https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/8901/2021-CGC-registry-awards/ The copy says June 14th (a Monday). However the accompanying picture shows June 12th (a Saturday). In addition, one of the Registry Administrators also says June 12th in this post ... https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/480792-2021-this-score-needs-fixin-requests/?do=findComment&comment=11648237 Thank you.

Este Bagato the Consignment Director at MCS?

I purchased the Variant Edition to Thor #13. It says Variant Edition on the front and back labels. But check out the label on the top edge ...

Let's not forget one of my fave pedigree's - Suscha News

No offense but for security purposes, I would not put my credit card info into an e-mail. Calling accounting directly is your safest bet.

A mod's response from earlier today in the Ask CGC forum ...

Thank you very much, Jennifer, I appreciate the quick response.

Hi, The above mentioned doesn't seem to be working. I had two orders (CGC3567537398 and CGC5290124517) delivered by USPS under one package on 4/6/21. However the new Confirm Package Receipt tool tells me otherwise (please see attached screen shots). Please advise - thank you.

I can empathize. I have a Reholder submission (3 slabs) which was delivered to CGC (USPS) on 2/11/21. It wasn't marked Received until 3/4/21. As of this writing (4/12/21), it's sitting in G/C.

Thank you, Barton!

Reholdered. Took almost two months but worth the wait (for me)

Hi Jennifer, The census did not update today. It still shows last update as 3/30/2021. Thank you.

Congrats, Ray!!

On 3/12, CGC released an 'update' on TAT's and that steps were being taken to reduce TAT's. It's now 3/28 and things are still as bad as they were around 3/12. Talk about Fake News.

Any Modern I've sent in to be graded with even a microscopic print rub has always come back 9.6. The worst for print rubs are books with a black background on the back cover.

Three Modern Fast Track - Pressing & Grading Delivered - 2/26/21 Received - 3/19/21 Three weeks to receive? Very discouraging.

Hi. You'll find a slot for your book in the Amazing Spider-Man One-Shots set
