  1. So here is a thought @CGC Comics You have the whole "Opening comics delivered on ##,##,####". Now you need to add a "Grading books of Tier $$$$$ marked received ##,##,####" This would fix 95% of the complaints on the forums. And since your site claims to be first in first out this should be a 4 hour job for your Web Developer to add in. All you're doing is a select statement that pulls the oldest in a tier that has not been shipped or encapsulated, then feeding it to a page. If they tell you that it will take a week they are lying and its time for a new programmer.

  2. A little odd that they opened the box and received the first two packages. But have yet to receive the bigger lot of 50 grouped together. Hopefully will be updating again tomorrow.

    i just got killed on a recent prescreen submission

    3/23 9.8 on a set of books that I've been averaging 75% 9.8

    I averaged around 70% last year on 500+ submitted prescreens. I think my worst batch was around 50% rejected. I definitely screen my books a LOT harder now.  

  4. Its been 5 and a half months since my last shipment to CGC. Hoping to start sending 50 to 100 books a month for the next couple months.

  5. I purchased a book on ebay a week ago and it showed up with defects that the seller states were not there prior to shipping. The big one being what looks like someone stuck tape to the back and then quickly ripped it off. You can see from the pictures attached the back top left side is a total loss of color and gloss for a 1/4" strip. I had already gotten a decent deal, and the seller has offered to do a partial refund of 1/3rd the selling price. But I bought the book expecting a 6.5 to 7.0 grade, and not sure how badly that color loss is going to drop it. Every time I have looked at books I have avoided books with this kind of damage so my experience with its impacts on the grade are none. I have gone through the "Overstreet Guide to Grading Comics" and can find no examples. And my internet searches are not turning up examples either. Hoping the CGC community here can help me in getting a baseline for grade? 

    Interior Pages: Off-White. Interior looks solid, no missing coupons and no tears on interior pages.

    Exterior has some color rub on the front cover edges and spine. Light to moderate spine stress. Back page has gloss and color loss on an approximate 1/4" by 4" strip. Small amount of color rub middle right on back. 2" corner cover fold on back that breaks color.

    Thank you everyone!

    I still have 5 Modern Fast Track books that were received on 6/17/20 and are still Scheduled for Grading. Two other Signature Modern FT books were received on the same day (one invoice number difference) and they were already graded and returned to me 10 days ago.......strange. 

    Yeah it seems like the Signature series group got close to 100% of the channel for Modern graders. I guess time to send your silver age books for grading if you got them...Everything else is going to be a while...

    Still very confused how the 9 regular moderns I submitted are in Scheduled for Grading 3 weeks later and the Pre-screens have beat them to Grading and Quality Control.. ??? ..I have emailed and messaged CGC over the last week. Keep getting told they are in the slabbing room. :pullhair: No one has visually checked to make sure they are actually there. This is testing the limits of my anxiety. :ohnoez: And as a glutton for punishment, I have another 68 books headed to them on Thursday... :insane:
