  1. SDCC is coming up fast! I'll have a SDCC 2022 exclusives thread once the show starts. If anyone has items they want picked up message me and we can arrange something. This doesnt include funko, hasbro etc. those are still lottery. If I win a spot i'll take requests.
  2. If the artist doesnt have a regular dealer, Ive reached out to dealers who seem to work with the artist consistently. Worse they say it no, or ignore you.
  3. The paper over the blank sketch cover is not part of the comic, its there to keep blank from getting dirty. Most comic shops will remove it before its put on the shelf. You can remove it yourself or let CGC do it as I did back in 2018.
  4. Is CGC making labels out of gold now? Might explain the turn around times.
  5. Thats a bit of a bummer. Id check the eBay posting pictures to see if the chip was visible there. It might have happened during shipping. Cant say Ive noticed many issue like this with shipping. Might be easier to just return it (if possible), especially if youre not happy with it.
  6. Your opinion about "sharp corners and an awesome book" doesnt make it a 9.8
  7. This is spot on! The amount of derk getting graded is astounding. Anyone expecting a company to forgo profit just cause is out of their damn minds!
  8. Add all your books in the online form and you will get a price for grading and an estimate of shipping.
  9. A big part of this is to question why you want to get those books graded in the first place. If its to sell then you would need to do the cost analysis of one grade over the other and its worth to you to not get the desired grade and price you want. If its for you own personal reasons then the cut off point doesnt really matter, unless you are one of those people that only want 9.8s or some other specific grade. As for sending them in...if you have waited a while without grading, maybe wait a little longer and take the books to a local con that CGC is attending when the time comes. Alternatively you can mail them and pay for all the extra insurance and hope the hassle of a claim wont be needed. Another option is to fly/drive/boat to Florida and take the books in yourself, which I believe is an option again. Hope this helps.
  10. It is true. Why do you think they added an, "opening packages from the week of ____" statement to the website...? What is the 2 month mark past when you think your TAT 'should' have been completed? Afraid this is all true. The volume of books is just insane these days, and they cant keep up. Im still waiting for books submitted and received in July =( Im turned off my auto renew and probably wont submit anything new until they get the process more streamlined.
  11. oh shoot! I thought social media posts were excluded from that. I'll remove those for a few more days.
