@LuxLuthor You may want to place your post in the Statue Collections thread under Comics General ... https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/304405-statue-collections/ There seems to be more life in that thread than statue forum.com. The latter is pretty much a ghost town these days. Good luck!

I took a friend of mine to a comic convention in Chicago. I think it was still called Wizard World at that time. While my friend wasn't really into comics, he did love himself some Transformers. And I told him he might find something. Well, we get there and he finds this uber cool Optimus Prime statue. No price tag. So I told him to ask the dealer about it. He did and this dealer couldn't have been more rude to him. Totally condescending and patronizing. My friend got pretty upset and yelled at him, "If you don't want to sell it then why did you even put it out?" and walked away. My friend then came back to me and said, "NEVER bring me to one of these things again."

Yes, auction winners have at least three weeks to pay (which I personally find super annoying). This is allowed because if someone wants to bid and win auctions in the following week, they can pay for two or three weeks worth of auctions and get combined shipping. However, if you wind up with a deadbeat bidder who hasn't paid after three weeks, contact Este or Andrea and they'll allow you to relist the book for auction and ban the deadbeat bidder.

I too wanted to go in and remove any old CC info I had and still see if I had a Want List in place. But when I went there I got this:

I wondered why his departure from his Thor run was so abrupt without any explanation from Marvel or anyone. Now I do. A speedy recovery to Mr. Cates. https://bleedingcool.com/comics/donny-cates-missing-six-months-of-his-life-after-car-accident/

@COMICLINK

@wytshus Hi Brian, the link in the attached screen shot will need to be updated as well. Thank you!

Maybe Conan has some insight? @mycomicshop

One Reholder: Shipped - 7/6 Delivered to CGC - 7/11 Scanned In - 7/15 Submission Tracking (SFG) - 7/28

1 Book ME (Mislabeled Variant) Scheduled For Grading: 5/12 G/E/I: 7/25 Maybe I'll get it back once it hits the three month mark?

Funny you should mention that. That's the same as the CGC opening package process

I know Brian doesn't control the census but it didn't get updated overnight. Wonder if this is somehow intertwined with what's going on here ...

Sure would like to know what the heck is going on here. Two FTM's. 4279827 Shipped on 7/17 and is scheduled for delivery today. 4279824 still in the G/E/I void since 7/17. Maybe I should take other board member's advice and stop using FT because Modern alone seems to process faster.

I can certainly empathize. I remember receiving an e-mail that my CGC package had been delivered. Thing is, if the Fed Ex person was here, my dogs would have started barking and I would have a package by the front door. Neither of those things happened. So I called the local delivery unit and asked what gives? About an hour later I had my package. The Fed Ex driver originally delivered it to an Auto Body shop just down the street. Thankfully it was still unopened.

Hi. Try changing what you put in the Comic Lookup field. Then you should see the Add Button become active. Please see screenshot below ...

I did. Thank you, Mike!

Yes, it's the new number I'm having the problem with. Or did. I finally got through to someone. And the CSA admitted they were having intermittent phone problems this morning.

@CGC Mike Hi Mike,.. Is there something wrong with the phone system? I've been attempting to call customer service this morning. After I push the button to speak to a CSA, I'm put on hold and get the CGC anthem until an agent is available. But after about 10 seconds, it stops. Then there's silence for about another 5 seconds and then you hear a message that says, "An application error has occurred. Goodbye" and then I'm disconnected. What is going on? Thank you!

Whatever the status, things are moving at a glacial pace (at least from my perspective). That's why I'm trying to make every effort to get what I can sent in prior to SDCC 2023. Intakes at cons pretty much mess up the time it takes to process submissions. But SDCC 2023, you probably won't see your submissions until leaves starting falling from the trees.

I can empathize. I've had 1 book ME SFG since 5/12 with no movement. Just a simple label correction. I sent a note to submissions@cgccomics.com last week and as of this writing, no response.

All threads for adding slots to sets and creating new sets are currently closed while the 2023 CGC Registry Awards are being conducted. You can read all about it and when they'll reopen from the Registry Administrator here:

Well said, well spoken

Oh, so someone is working there. Nothing is moving on my end and I just figured CGC employees extended their vacations beyond the 4th and there's only a skeleton crew still working the remainder of the week.

I think that ship has already sailed. I've had submissions delivered to CGC within the last two weeks and none of them have been opened by Receiving. Receiving must have off on 'business day' Fridays.

I hadn't seen anything published yet and was just wondering. Thanks!
