Waiting is so hard...
It's been almost two long months since I sent my first batch of comics to the CGC, and I've been keeping up with the submission tracking waiting for the status of my books to change from received to scheduled for grading to graded to shipped.
I sent in 15 books for my initial batch. They weren't all stunners, but they were books in good condition that I wouldn't be too broken up about if they were damaged. I sent each book in a Mylites2 mylar bag with half-back slabbed between pieces of cardboard. I separated the comics into two piles and rolled each pile with a long sheet of bubble wrap before putting them securely into a larger cardboard box.
I sent in four of the New 52 Batman #1s -- two of which were variant covers by Ethan Van Sciver -- four Cassandra Cain Batgirl #1s, three Dark Knight #23.4s, and four George Lucas Original Screenplay Star Wars #1s.
When the grades were posted, I was ecstatic. They were 9.8s across the board. I was on a conference call with corporate when I checked my grades, and I raised my hands in a victory pose in plain sight of my boss and coworker.
Later that day, I received my tracking number through email. Checking the status on USPS.com, it said it was shipped out of Florida.
Today, I checked again.
Priority mail. Two-day. Out for delivery in Poughkeepsie, NY.
But I'm in California! FedEX lost my PS4 in the mail and now this?!
Say it ain't so, CGC, say it ain't so.
