Anyone seeing movement today?  I wonder if outbound shipping will be slowed by the storms.

Received a package this past Saturday.  I happened to notice on the shipping label there was a different name other than Danny Nunez as the Shipping Manager.  Can't remember the name of the new person.  Maybe there's some kind of shipping transition taking place?

Right, I have. The original cert number page has yet to show any updates to it, while there is a NEW cert number, which leads to a page with some of the book's info, but no grade and no pics.

That's odd. I just had a reholder done and when I put the original cert # in the Cert Lookup Tool after it was marked shipped, it came right up with the grade and pics of the newly reholdered book (the book in question was in an old slab and I upgraded it to the current slab).  I would try again in a day or two.  If it still doesn't show up, you might have to loop @MattM CS back in again.

Hmm...well it looks like we may have an issue then....sent in my ME last month. Finally received the Grading/etc. update this week, 1 month later. It has now been marked as "Shipped" (albeit, this could just be the shipping label creation as FedEx does not indicate pickup).

In the Submission Tracking, the Line Item number hyperlink goes to a completely different certification number than the original certification number.


 

When you submitted your ME, you had to put down the Cert # of the slab.  Go back to that original Cert # and plug it into the Cert Lookup Tool and you should see pics of your updated slab as well as the grade.  This practice should be followed not only on ME's but Reholders as well.  Good luck!

Folks,

Is there a website out there with a good summary of the release and status of Marvel Masterworks?  I used to follow Collected Editions and ordered many from Tales of Wonder over the years.  Both seem to have lapsed...  Any good sites out there?

Thank you much.

V/R, Mike

The one on Wikipedia seems to be well maintained ...

I have a submission sitting as received since Sept 4.

My previous submission also took a long while before It was ready to list

I recently checked in with a submission I've been waiting to list (and still waiting).  The response I received from Andrea was there were quite a number of staff out sick and thus the reason for the delay.

Hi,

Would anyone happen to know if these are listed on the registry and if they are where I would find them along with the Mosaics they did. I appreciate any help.

Thank You

They are definitely listed in the census but it appears no one has requested for them to be added to a particular Batman set.  So I guess you just need to decide which Batman set you want them added to (maybe Batman (Complete with Variants)).  Once you figure this out, list the books along with the cert #'s and add your request to this thread:

https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/516902-2023-this-set-doesnt-exist-please-build-requests/

Please be sure to read the first post thoroughly.  Good luck!

@MattM CS

Hi Matt!

While you're checking on the status of the OP's reholder submission, could you please check on the status of one of mine?  It too was a Reholder Submission, 4296231.  It hit Submission Tracking on 7/28 and has been sitting in SFG ever since.  The slab needed to be reholdered because the slab itself was one of those from early 2016 which had no inner well.  I sent an e-mail to submissions@cgccomics.com this past Sunday, (9/10) but have yet to receive a response. 

Thanks!

@MattM CS

Never mind, Matt.  It just moved to G/E/I this afternoon.  Thanks anyway!

Hello @pb79,

Thank you for contacting us. I have just reached out to our operations team to see what the hold-up of this submission is. Once I have more information for you I will let you know. Thank you for your patience.

The vibe at the Con on Friday felt very tame compared to previous years but I did see quite a few big purchases being made with most of them being dealer to dealer.  If you had the goods they were selling and guys like Burns who keeps his prices low seemed to do very well but I did hear some grumblings from guys who didn’t have the goods.  Lots of discount signs came out Friday and I wonder how far the discounts will go today.  

Thanks for all the wonderful pics!

New issue being released this week! 

Batman vol. 3 #137

Description: 

Batman descends on Gotham City, full of rage and force, more driven than ever to save his home. But the new landscape has turned friends into foes.

Can anyone stop his reign of terror? Should they?

The Gotham War continues in this second chapter!

 

Looking forward to picking up this book today especially after a two month deficit.

IMHO, I don't see any kind of productivity or anything eventful coming out of the CGC offices this week.

I suspect insurance is the only way, but that doesn't replace the books I have the memories of gathering 50 years ago.

+1

Yeah, Collectibles Insurance will cover your collection(s) but MattTheDuck is right, it won't get you back the all the years of treasures and momento's if you've been a long time collector.  I read where some members have their collection under their homeowner's insurance policy.  But I recently read in the Chicago Tribune that insurer's are either dropping clients or substantially raising their annual premiums in states like Florida or California.  The latter especially because God just seems to take his wrath out on that state.

I guess we no longer have to start our search with Marvel Comics or D.C. Comics?

Nope!

Having the same issue. Tried to add Marvel Comics Wolverine #1 04/2020 Dell'Otto Variant Cover B, D.C. Comics DCeased: Unkillables #1 04/2020 Unknown Comic Books Exclusive Jay Anacleto Virgin, and an easy Marvel Comics X-Men #5 2/92 which have all come up in the search window, but when clicking on it the add comic button is greyed out.

Try changing the contents of the Add Comic field to the following for your three books:

Wolverine #1 4/20 Dell'Otto Variant Cover B

DCeased: Unkillables #1 4/20 Unknown Comics Convention Edition

X-Men #5 2/92

They should all appear in the Drop Down List.  Once selected, put in a Declared Value figure and the Add Comic button should become active.  Please see attached screen shot.

Thank you! I have 2 in G/QC and was wondering if that would trigger the link.  

I have one outstanding submission in Submission Tracking. It's sitting at SFG but I just checked and I'm now able to click on the Sub Number.  It's no longer greyed out. 

On 8/18/2023 at 2:08 PM, X_Phile said:

Has anyone had a submission moved to a "shipped" status while the link to the submission details has been broken? Wondering if you can see grades on any newly shipped submissions.

Yes, I had one.  The submission number had a broken link when it was G/QC.  As soon as it was marked Shipped, I could click on the sub number and see my grades.

I was just updated on the status of submission tracking. 

The CGC submission tracking pages will be fixed by the end of the day Tuesday. Once fixed, these submitters will be able to see their collectible descriptions once a submission reaches the "Scheduled for Grading" status shown below.

Thank you, Mike!

I'll see what I can find out.

Thank you, sir!

Also noticed last night the usually 'clickable' Submission Number on my CGC Submission Tracking page for that particular submission isn't clickable anymore. Has anyone dealt with this issue before?

Same thing happened to me late yesterday afternoon when I was checking my submissions.

@CGC Mike  Mike?

What do you think of the upcoming story arc, Batman/Catwoman: Gotham War? I feel like there have been plenty of "Wars" in Gotham recently (War of Jokes in Riddles, City of Bane, Joker War, etc.).

Personally I would enjoy a story arc where Batman solves a crime that occurred.

I wouldn't mind a few standalone done-in-one issues.
