I always seem to overgrade the lower grades and undergrade the higher grades. I’m happy with 6 points!

So I'm fairly new to MCS and I've been consigning/auctioning my slabs with MCS for only around 4 months now and can say I'll never ever again sell my slabs on eBay–I sincerely wish I'd hopped on board earlier. I highly recommend giving it a go if you've been on the fence thinking about it. There was a bit of a learning curve to understand the layout and function of the different sections of MCS.com but once you figure it out the process has been so easy. Honestly the most challenging part of the experience for me is packing up slabs safely enough and getting shipped out. I've found that using pirateship.com for shipping has saved me a little bit on the shipping cost to MCS. I LOVE the fact that once your slabs are in their system (after a week or so after they've received your package), you can look at recent sales data from MCS and GPA to help you decide how to price your books. I just started to utilize Auctions to move slabs I don't want to hold on to anymore and I've had good results so far with prices I'm happy with. I've got one auction that ended June 27th that hasn't been paid for yet but I'm hoping that will get resolved once the current Prime auction is finished up. I do wish MCS and their auctions (at least their Prime auctions) were promoted/hyped a little better. I don't think I've seen a promo through CGC official emails yet, whereas I see Goldin, Heritage, ComicLink and Shortboxed constantly promoted. Even a more visible nod on social media would be a good idea. I hope that with addition of Steve Borock to the team, there will be some crazier auctions in the future that will attract more attention. On the buying/purchasing side of things, I primarily use MCS to purchase all my preorders/subscriptions. Hands down the best prices (including shipping price, packaging, and bags/boards) I've seen so far. I do wish you could preorder incentives/ratios, but that's not a dealbreaker for me. I won/purchased my first auctions just this past week and thought I picked up some steals.

I think it's a combination of different reasons for different people: - not super motivated, if they get their high price great but they're not in any rush to sell soon - over-committed and not willing to cut their losses: paid too much originally, now they're anchored to their overpayment and not willing to sell for less - speculation in action: their prices are unreasonable today, but they are guessing the book could jump in the future And then beyond that for some people it's some combination of lack of knowledge, lack of time, and lack of effort. These 2 points describe perfectly a few consignments I have posted right now. I've purposely overpriced them (but not insanely out of reach) because they are books that are guaranteed to pick up in interest since they are books that have a movie or tv show that'll be released within the next year. I'm not desperate to get rid of them immediately, so I'm willing to hold onto them until the related movie/tv show is about to be released or happy to sell them right now to a person that's willing to buy it at the price I've posted.

I'd love to participate

Interesting news about Steve Borock joining MCS! I’m curious what this means in terms of growth and visibility for MCS Consignment? https://www.mycomicshop.com/news

Gah, my palms got all sweaty while attempting to grade these. Didn't think it'd be this nerve wrecking!

Wow. That’s a crazy list of prizes! All very cool!

I got the “deluxe” cover (the one with the double gatefold with all the variant art). I babied that thing when I was kid thinking it was something ultra special and ultra rare. Little did I know how many millions and millions of copies it actually sold 😂.

Hooray! Mine finally shipped as well! Says it was signed on 11/1. It was a single book with just Jim’s signature. X-Men from the early 90’s and Jim Lee are what really got me into comics as a kid, so getting my X-Men #1 is a childhood dream come true for me. It’s one of those nostalgia pieces in my personal collection that might not be worth a ton of money, but it’s one I’ll probably never let go of. Side note: If you haven’t had the opportunity yet, pick up Jim Lee’s X-Men Artist’s Edition published by IDW. It’s insane.

I’m in

Mine has been stuck in GEI since end of November. I had mine go through CCS as well. Patiently waiting…

I submitted one book that was signed and pressed by CCS which has been in G/E/I since 12/1/21. Hopefully yours is around the corner too 🤞.

Some recent info about my books if it helps or consoles anyone out there: 20 books submitted for Value Fast Track Work Order Date: 07/24/2016 Invoice Date: 8/02/2016 Shipped Date (to CGC): 10/10/2016 Roughly 10 weeks for Value Fast Track. Normal estimate for fast track is 4-6 weeks. Business must be booming right now.
