My Rules:

I once submitted an ASM9 9.0 in an old case and it came back an 8.0. I cracked it out... sent it back and it came back and 8.5. At that point I just washed the comic and called it a loss. Still in disbelief this came back and 8.0... and a 8.5 when it looked like this after cracking it out of the 8.0 case.

I recently emailed CGC about a similar issue.  Shipped a couple of boxes of books out on 8/3/19, they were delivered on 8/8/19 and still haven't shown as received on the tracker.  Their response to my question about the long lead time in receiving books was "we get a lot of books"...Not sure how the factors in to their turnaround times advertised on their site.  14 business days and the clock hasn't even started yet.

This is the issue I am expressing. I just feel like they utilize receiving time to sand bag turn times when they know they cannot commit to their expressed current windows. I would rather them be transparent with turn times than basically us throwing a hail mary to get our books back on the time window we paid. 

TLDR, sounds like CGC should hire more receiving associates to help process books in a timely manner. It shouldn't rely on the customer reaching out to them saying "Hey... did you get my $x,xxx book? It shows delivered a week ago and I just wanted to make sure everything is good....".

Do you write "Walk through" on the box? 

I don't... if this is all it takes... I will buy a specialized stamp and punch the box a hundred times.

TAT's are a shoot during con season.  ONLY way to guarantee the fastest TAT is submitting to CGC for onsite grading on the Thursday or Friday of the con.  I've seen where late onsite submission grading has to be taken back to Sarasota and then shipped back out to you if the onsite grading max is reached.  And yes the TAT's for normal submissions start once it's actually received and checked into their system which is the only way they are able to track it.  Until then it could still be sitting in the shipping box and may as well still be enroute by the carrier. 

Did you pay for pressing or restoration checks?  If so, the status is a bit confusing depending on who the book is with: CCS vs CGC and will take longer.

I will only pay CCS for pressing if it's a sig book looking for a bump. All others are pre-pressed and ready for grading. No specialized requests associated with them. 

I pay for walk through or an enhanced grading service in preparation to get a book back by a certain date, these services are not cheap...especially on an expensive book. It is very common where my books will deliver say on a Monday, but then not get received until 4-8 business days later. What this does is cause a massive delay where the turn time is essentially sand bagged until the book is received which is a little unfair. There are times where it is received same day, so it almost feels like CGC doesn't receive books on purpose, so they can pad their turn times. 

Anyone else experience this? I have multiple friends who send in books who deal with the same thing. I've seen it go as long as 10 business days where a book sits, finally is received and then the "window" starts... which by the way changes all the time even after you submit based on current turnaround times quoted.

Hello all, been lurking/posting/buying/selling for awhile on the boards. I have purchased quite a few books from established boardies so if you need any references just let me know and or check out my kudos thread here:

http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9184022#Post9184022

Some rules and general information:

1) trumps any PMs or ongoing negotiations.

2) Shipping - I am located in Canada and everything will ship from here (no import fees for US customers as I understand it). I package very well and these books will be boxed and packed with extreme care. Shipping will only be to Canada or the continental U.S. Shipping will cost $10.00 (it will be more than this but I will cover it) unless stated otherwise

3) Acceptable forms of payment: Paypal only here.

4) No HOSers or problem children. Your $$ is no good here. I also reserve the right not to sell to someone on my personal do not sell to list. It would help if the buyer is a member with solid feedback on the boards (PM me to discuss if you have little or no feedback please).

5) All prices in $USD.

6) All slabs are in great shape unless noted otherwise (I will make specific notes where needed).

7) No returns on CGC graded books.

8) If you need more photos I am happy to accommodate - just let me know (sorry for the glare - I don't have a scanner )

9) There is NO writing, NO tape and NO Rust on any of the books.

10) Feel free to PM me offers or questions.

For the record I would not be selling these books - but seems a grail book of mine is within reach - so sacrifices need to be made

Tales of Suspense 52 CGC 4.5 - C/OW Pages - 1st Black Widow - Asking Price = $1,026.00 $990.00  $930.00 which is $210 less than last GPA of $1,140.00 (and a 5.0 just sold for $1,425.00).  Really nice presenting copy of a very hot book.
