Looks like they may be able to pull the book and correct the problem before it ships.

Awesome, thanks

Hey guys I have a question about a TMNT #1 So I checked the status of my book and they have it described as a 3rd print. I bought this book brand new off the shelf and am 95% sure it's a 2nd printing. Not sure what happened but the packing slip says nothing about what print. I called CGC and she said they would try and pull it but since it's in QC she it not sure. My question is the cover any different for 1st, 2nd and 3rd prints? I know it says on the inside cover but since its slabbed that does me no good.

If they have to retool their machine for magazine size that would make sense. I imagine their magazine subs are low comparatively. But still an 8 month wait they maybe should think about a separate machine for mags.

Yeah I really dont understand the delay with magazines. Why not grade them just like a regular modern book.

My modern magazine finally had some movement. sent in 3/15 grading / QC 11/23

Good news. I am about 2-3 weeks behind you so hopefully I will see movement soon. I am at 163 business days

No comic related but I had a client order some light bulbs for a project I was doing for him. I just told him what style to get and he ordered them. Well UPS delivered his light bulbs to my house 45min away. They were addressed to him but still showed up at my door.

I am at 127 business days for a magazine. At this point I am hoping to get it by Christmas.

Thay would suck. But if they are out of cases I wonder why they would move any out of SFG.

Oh really...its the first magazine I have ever submitted.

No, she could not tell me anything.

I dont understand why the huge backlog with magazines. I called and asked if they were graded in a different department or something and she said no. I have been waiting since March and I saw someone else received in January.

Damn, here I thought things may be moving along.

Modern slowtrack magazine received 3/15 Just went to grading /encapsulation a couple days ago.

Their TATs dont mean much. It showed 55 days when I submitted back in March. I have been waiting about 115 days now.

My modern slow magazine received 3/15 has finally moved to grading /encapsulation.

Anyone else waiting on books from March? It's at 104 business days now when the TAT then was 55. They are holding on to a TMNT #1 so I am getting a bit concerned. I called but she could not really tell me anything than its SFG which of course I knew.

Yeah after getting a price for restoration / press and re-grade not really worth it to me right now. Maybe if it goes up in value I will reconsider. But not worth it for a 6.5 and the book being gone for a year.

Thanks, I will probably look into that when their TATs come down.

I did not realize they would even do that. Is that sent off to a 3rd party or does cgc do it?

I had another sub ready to go but its coming up on 5 months for one of my books to come back. When I sent it in the TAT was 55 days. Once CGC gets their $h[t together I may be a customer again.

Do modern magazines generally take longer? Sent 10 books in all modern slow on 3/15. Got all of them back 2 weeks ago except my TMNT #1. It still shows SFG.

Bought this out of the dollar bin in the early 90s. Got it graded to preserve it. I knew it was not a great copy but came back as restored. Is there a rule of thumb on how purple labels affect value?

2 of them had notes of "pebbeling". Which is assume are tiny dimples? The 3rd had no notes on it. Two 9.0 and one 9.2. I looked those books over hard with an LED light and pressed them several times. Covers were flat and clean.
