My 6/14 CCS orders just went into process 2/10/2022 so yours should begin in theory within a week or two….. in theory of course.

So those other miserable sobs like me don’t feel so alone lol. Maybe May or June the waves of ccs will start making it back to me? I have about 200 more in normal/fast track from Impressive Comics pressing obviously using outside pressers is about 6 months faster then CCS at this point, however anyone else notice that CCS pressed books seem to get weird grade bumps? I had a Ms. Marvel 18 come back 9.8 and I would have sworn 9.4, but a bunch of modern stuff is coming back 9.4-9.6 with no noticeable issue and no notes if using outside pressers….. Really wish we had a more reliable grading rubric at CGC and some competitive competition for service…. anyways back to my bridge to troll for a few more months…

I’m in

If I were to guess the moderns are being screened by the new hires so random line jumps would be maybe easy books to grade? the eco+ tiers are likely going to the more experienced graders in “hopes” that less errors or super incorrect grading takes place. When the vast majority of modern is 9.0 or better before being looked at gives the newbs time to get familiar with the process. Again just a guess.

I gave up holding my breath long ago…. wont ever use ccs again not when better pressers are available and are free inside of 4 months for a stack ….. at most often half the cost to boot. on plus one day waves of books should make it back to me lol.

Then you also are an amazing person Once u own a bully your hooked for life.

My experience is that they do not stack. my past orders through pressing took forever to be pressed. Once charged for pressing seems they are actually pressed within 4 weeks. Then sent for grading which again happens to be within 4 weeks to get books back. The going from received to pressing and charge seems to be at over 4 months atm figuring they will get to June orders sometime late November so those might make it home January. That’s unless something changes on their side.

Second this post as it is the same boat I am in only at 300 books to be mailed back in waves sometime in November CGC gods willing. Once that starts unload all that marvel goodness that has just gone way up since even being submitted and keep buying silver/gold DC keys…. if all goes per plan tax return season will be a healthy one for me and sounds like you as well lol.

Been selling on hipcomics as well as eBay and the staff over there are super friendly. A lot lower fees as well.

My daughter got her first rat catcher app from ya all. We were the Batgirl and Flash in steampunk on Saturday

I personally, unless it’s a glaring defect like a post broke or a large scratch/scuff on the shell center cover area won’t mention small scuff stuff to a case. Reason being is 80% the books shipped back from CGC have small scuffs anymore so outside of making it hard to display with a scuff what’s the point? If in shipping a post breaks due to mishandling or something like that I wouldn’t have a problem refunding the buyer the reshell price for CGC. But if they want to return it for a scuff obviously eBay favors the sellers. I just contact eBay about the return being identical to purchase and the buyer had buyers remorse (eBay rule term must be said)and eBay flags them refunds me shipping in the form of eBay credit and I block the buyer. It’s a hassle but it’s the work around to where buyers can’t hose us on shipping of cold feet purchases. Also if you don’t offer returns then any negative left about a return can be removed from your feedback under eBay rules since it’s not something you do but are forced to under buyer protections. Let’s be honest as a Topseller with a dumb medal next to my name I don’t think many people even care about returns on comics unless they plan on doing a return for bogus reasons anyways. So why even offer it?

In order to return the item eBay won’t refund it until you receive it in like condition. If it’s in any condition different contact their support I have had this as well. You have 2 options one being you keep the item and say well it’s now worth this per comparable sand I also want my shipping fees back and they deduct all that from the money before issuing their return. Or it’s ruined as silly as this sounds you submit a fraud with a local sherif and get a case number etc. Doesn’t matter it’s out of country. eBay will want their copy then issue you all the money ban the buyer and the next time the buyer tries to visit the US they get arrested for the fraud case. Trust me it’s a lot of work but the thought of some clown trying to go on holiday after trying to rip you off spending a day in a cell and extradited home is kinda funny.

Ccs you have to send it in they will look it over and tell you if they can remove it and all that and a price. Once done it’s sent to grading and gets blue label. My experience and that of others is that almost all comics with slight color are viable candidates for removal. it’s a listed option when filling out a submission.

If this is an eBay sale do not refund them take the small ding by having eBay force a refund from you. I had a Canadian buyer do similar to me and cost me 2k as they scammed a “damaged package” Canadian post takes 90 days to get back obviously eBay gives 30 days I called multiple times and they told me do this and that…. When it came time and Canadian post said yeah buyer is lying eBay was like ops you refunded them sorry our support was wrong you needed us to force the refund then your protected. lesson I learned on eBay is never ship international outside of eBay international program. As when they broke off PayPal they killed a lot of seller protections for sellers using any post not eBay.. go figure right. If this is a private selling and PayPal was used force PayPal to take the money do not refund willingly give it. Once it ships and is delivered to back to visa/PayPal etc with the proof it’s delivered no issues and force a payment which they will do. Hope that helps if you didn’t already know it.

Ruins the value compared to blue label. The restoration is small color touch I would send it back into get the color removed a 6.0 Blue label will be worth at a min double and be faarrrrrr more easier to sell.
