Order is complete and shipped. Thanks for staying with me guys.

Looks like my order is now back in the CGC Submission Tracking without having to manually search the number. Interesting. 

Wow! After almost exactly one year the status has changed! 

Happy 1 year anniversary of CGC getting my comics!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooOOoo 

Yeah the 237 working days is almost false advertising at this stage, I think i would of checked my status page about 1000 times in the last month. Do you guys really have that many public holidays in America? haha

 

Devo haha. I thought maybe it was because the status was changing. 

Got this message now. 

 

Just keeping my fans updated :P

223 Working days is roughly 23rd of August. Maybe add 10 days for Holidays?

So if its a rough ETA, the status should change anyday

My Vintage Economy submission from September 9, 2021 has just now shipped.  TAT 11.5 months real time, a little over the current posted estimate.

Oh wow. A year is insane. I was hoping to see it at the end of this month. I guess not

At the 10 month mark now!! Woooo Hopefully I see that status changed soon.

Had this today! I hit the 8 month wait mark, and a daily ritual of mine is to check the status of my order, now each time I will have to enter the submission! Makes me feel even more forgotten! 

Hopefully it's soon!

Lalalalalala 8 months so far

Thought I would share the link to a more American audience. 

Only 4 on the CGC Census of NM #99 and 9 of the NM #100. 

Selling both as a set for $400 AUS and $35 Postage. They don't sell as well in Australia where I am from but they sell for big prices in the US!

Turnaround times for comics is sooo painful, I submitted a group of comics in Nov. and Dec.  Its painful waiting this long.  I never thought that it would eve take this long.  I thought maybe 3 to 4 months but OMG over half a year or more to get grading accomplished.  I could be dead by then.  If I die before my comics get delivered what are my options?

Its absolutely devastating the wait. 

If you have a constant flow of books coming back then that's fine, but if you have 1 batch of books then 7 months is shattering.

Recieved 10/14/21
Current turn around time 194 days

194 days from October 14 is April 26!

Does this mean i should be checking every day and seeing Grading / Encapsulation / Imaging  as my new status?
 

Hey!

Not the best photo since it's currently with CGC getting graded. But just curious on a rough grade with these photos. 

Cover firmly attached. The creases you can see in two of the pictures were pressed out.

Good morning,

Thank you for your message. The value listed for the book should represent the current fair market value.  If the book's value has gone up substantially and the value is significantly greater than you listed on your form, it is possible our graders may bump the book up to a higher grading tier and you would be responsible for the difference in grading fees.  You can find out more regarding our Declared Value Policy here: Declared Value Policy | CGC (cgccomics.com)

If you have any other questions, please let us know.  Thank you!

Hey thanks for your reply. 

If one of the books needs to be bumped to another tier will this delay the order?

Hey,

If I submitted a comic and the value was under 400$ at the time of submitting, and while CGC has had this comic for the last 5 months, it has gone up in price over that $400 potentially,  will cgc charge me more now that it may be in a higher tier?

Good morning,

Thanks for your message. The date listed on the website is the current mail delivery date we are opening in our receiving room.  This is not the date we are grading.  If you have an order that was delivered in October that is not showing up in our system at all, then please contact our customer service department with the order number and the package tracking number and we will investigate further for you.  You can reach us at 877-662-6642 or by email at submissions@cgccomics.com.

Thank you!

So the 197 days turn around is 197 days from the received  date of 10/14/21.

Cheers

Hello!

Just wondering, 

My CGC submission has it down as received on 10/14/21 and the currently turn around time says its opening packages delivered the week of November 15, 2021.

Does this mean there is an issue with my submission? or am i miss understanding the current turn around time. 

Thank you legends. 

Hey!

First time CGC submitter for many years. Just got notified that my package is currently being store in the CGC facility. 

Just wondering how long it normally takes for them to charge my bank account after this roughly. 

Thanks!

Hey!

I am getting ready to send my books to CGC and noticed this, 

 

If shipping via FedEx or UPS, send to:

CGC
5501 Communications Parkway
Sarasota, FL 34240

Is this saying that I cannot use Australia Post International and MUST use FedEx or UPS in my country to send?

Thanks!

Hey!

I have packed and submitted the forms to CGC etc etc. 

Now it's time to ship and i see this message,
 

If shipping via FedEx or UPS, send to:

CGC
5501 Communications Parkway
Sarasota, FL 34240

However I am from Australia and we use AUS Post, I am assuming it won't get turned away just because its not FedEx or UPS? 

So should i just send it Australia Post International?

Thanks!

<sup>Hello!

I am sure this question gets asked a lot but I couldn't find any threads on it with searching.</sup> 
I have 2 comics i am interested in sending off to get graded that both have tape along the spine. Does this count as a restoration and will this give me a purple lable?

2nd question. If a comic is missing a page but it doesn't effect story, does it automatically get a 0.5 grade? or does it automatically get a green label or do i specify which one i want on the book?

3rd question while I've got you legends,  is when submitting, it's cost effect to submit a group of books for 1975 and after and a group of books for 1975 and before? Or do I send them in bronze silver etc?

thank you greatly!

I am a little confused with Journey into Mystery #85. Cameo appearance of Odin. Then Journey Into Mystery #86. 2nd appearance of Odin. 

I have never seen this before except with this that there is no 1st Appearance of Odin label. We go from Cameo to 2nd appearance. 

I want to submit a Journey Into Mystery #86.
