I am always happy to have pleasant and unexpected surprises

Shifted to Quality Control/Finalized a few minutes ago, 28 March 2022. Things are lightening fast at the moment.

I am about to send in a modern FT in a couple of days from now. Based on what people here are saying it is exceptionally fast once it hits SFG, but the slow part right now is it is taking a month or more to even get the boxes open and into the system. Once this backlog clears out though it should be pretty smooth sailing.

Things are absolutely flying now. 25 slow track pre-screen: SFG - 16 Dec 2021 G/E/I - 28 Mar 2022

Modern slow track 25 books SFG 11 Nov 2021 GEI 24 Mach 2022 Grading/Quality Control 25 March Shipped 28 March Really happy with this!

I realize the topic of Newton Rings has come up before, but I am wondering whether there is any new info on what can be done about them. In a comic I just got back they are making Wolverine look like he is frothing at the mouth, which isn't necessarily a bad thing except that it was not a part of the original drawing. Please note that I am in Canada so sending it back to CGC for re-holdering is not a great option due to shipping costs.

Modern slow track pre-screen just shifted to Grading/Quality Control - 25 March 2022.

Wow, things are really picking up now and moving quickly. Modern slow track group of 25 pre-screen books received 11 Nov 2021, shifted to G/E/I 24 March 2022.

I just had a package with 25 slow track moderns that arrived at CGC on March 10th enter into SFG. This was a very pleasant surprise - go team!

This is awesome, my next modern pre-screen was received on 11 Nov so it is getting close!

Sometimes it is picked up and entered into a system at a later point. I had that happen with my box that shipped out on the 17th and there were no updates until over a day later when it hit a connection point.

My shipment of books that got to CGC on Feb 22nd hit SFG today.

I guess I am old fashioned, I still have my tried and true Facebook comic group and I am not even on Instagram. I do know people who have done very well with selling comics on IG, and it is a fantastic option for people, but I really dont want more social media in my life.

If FedEx is the same in your area as mine you can get them to hold at a location for pickup. Assuming your trip is not super long that should do the trick.

Mine are 11/11 so we are pretty much back to back.

It is now, was 15 when I submitted.

Does anyone know where things are at with modern pre-screens? I have a shipment of moderns heading back starting today, and my pre-screen moderns got to CGC about 4 days ahead of the other group. The web page said 15 working days at the time for pre-screens, but some people have said that the pre-screens have been taking much longer.

I was pleasantly surprised twice as many times as I was negatively surprised, so I am calling that a big win. The only downer is the biggest book that I thought was flawless ended up at 9.6 instead of 9.8. C'est la vie.

Grades are in and it is marked as shipped for tomorrow. This is a special one for me. Up to now I have always submitted through a presser. This time I pressed and submitted my own books.

Awesome! Some modern books are really good. When I returned to collecting comics after many years I went straight back to collecting Star Wars, and I found a lot of the modern Star Wars (especially Darth Vader) books were amazing to read. There is definitely some good stuff out there.

Shifted to Grading/ Quality Control 16 Mar 2022. That was fast.

Thank you so much, this is very helpful!

Just to be clear there was no sarcasm in my reply.

This particular Ebay scam has been going on for weeks. The person or people behind it use the same big books as bait, same photos, new accounts with zero feedback, and usually try to direct people to sites off ebay for direct sales at a discount. You see it a lot with EoSV 2 Land Variant and books like that. I started off reporting them when they popped up, but Ebay only took some of the bad ads down and eventually I gave up since it was turning in to work for me. Besides, Ebay should find a way to be more vigilant to prevent stuff like this to begin with. Sorry you got roped in to it, and I am happy to hear you are getting your cash back. I am sure insurance companies backing paypal and credit cards are the ones losing cash on this in the long run.
