    Does CGC really give priority by tiers? Doesn't look that way to me.

    Economy tier books might play a role in the training of graders advancing past Modern, thus the longer wait times. I consider them to be the same entry tier, modern is just discounted so they can offer cost effective grading on newly released books. Economy really helps people who don't know the value of the golden/silver age books they might have just inherited or come across. Even if they get bumped up to a higher tier they may well have never been submitted in the first place if the submitters had been scared off by the higher costs of the faster tiers. Much nicer knowing those higher grading costs are justified than having to roll the dice, right?

    Is Mile High a reference to their prices?

    Back in early '00s when they were buying up all the imploded LCS stock it had enough excellent deals to offset some of the inconsistent grading. Who else would sell you 10 copies of G.I. Joe #2 for 25% of FMV with the right codeword sale(even if 4 of them were 2nd Prints it was still an great deal)?. Alot of this stuff was a outstanding deal if it happened to be restocked just in time one of their 80% sales. Unread white page VF- copies of random silver age like Nick Fury 16 for $5? Not exactly an investment play but a very nice find for an excellently inked Kirby book.
