one thing they should reconsider to maybe make up for all these delays, don't charge it until it's graded. 

charging up front and then waiting 5 months is bs

100% this. I'm not sure about others but they've also been charging me asap for prescreens. So far I'm prepaid on 150 prescreen books so not sure what they're going to do with the credit for any rejects when I don't renew my sub on 6/23.

Progress. SFG today. Happy for any movement!

FINALLY, they admit it! 😁 So 112 days for modern prescreen now. 🤦‍♂️

Finally called about this guy, which I assumed and continue to assume is just lost 🤣, and was told it would be another "few weeks" and that prescreens are adding 15-20 additional business days now. So sounds like this one may go a full 100 business days....

Meanwhile, I'm feeling must less optimistic about my prescreens from 2/11 and 3/5 still sitting at received. 

In these crazy postal times I frequently get deliveries from USPS that tracking shows were delivered the day before. Pretty much happens every time there is a sub on my route. More trying to find a potential silver lining, but could possibly show up tomorrow. 

In either case, as a seller, you followed the protocols with tracking and delivery so ebay should cover. I worry more about CC charge backs six months later when tracking is purged and you can't prove delivery (fortunately this has only happened twice in tens of thousands of transactions).

I just called, and customer service said that they are currently shipping prescreens from the week of 1/11. I was told that any subs later than that that ship should just be chalked up to good luck for moving more quickly.

Seeing as my 1/12 has been SFG for over a month with no movement, and definitely not close to shipping, sounds like they made that up. 😥

Tat went up a couple of days

Modern slow 55 ft 23

Value slow 75 ft 29

Prescreen still shows Tier +10 which is a bold faced lie. 🤣

All there, staples firmly attached, nothing hidden from the pics. Going to send it in Tuesday and thinking of adding a press 🤔

This happens to me frequently, and actually twice within the past few weeks with the same image. Lots of people seem intent on preselling items nowadays for stuff that "will be coming back from CGC" or whomever and like to poach images (or so this is the rationale given). The last time it happened was on FB and the post with the "borrowed" image was removed and the seller banned. The time before on eBay I sent an email but nothing happened and the item went unsold (their starting bid was $1000 with my image) while my copy sold for around $500.

My prescreens seem to be running about 6-8 weeks behind straight submissions which is insane. Why oh why didn't I just take the 9.6s 🤦‍♂️

68 days and counting if my numbers are right. Still have prescreens received 2/11 and 3/5 as well but am sending all my more recent submissions sans prescreen as they are seemingly taking forever on those subs.

I wouldn't personally spend the money on those two books, from a value or JT4 fan perspective. For value, the SIKTC books that seem to realize the greatest price increase from being signed by him are already crazy expensive to begin with (and everyone and their mom, dog and uncle are getting SIKTC books signed). 

I'm a fan of his books as well, and was thinking about sending some books in for this, and was considering Wynd since that's his self proclaimed favorite book.

Not to keep harping on my 1/12 prescreen but my value subs received the same day have officially won the race (did not expect that when I mailed the box)

Fast track moving like grease lightning. Meanwhile my 1/12 prescreen sits at 62 business days ....

Bought three books from Thomas in a four figure deal, ASM 129, Batman 181 and Batman 189. Smooth from start to finish, everything double boxed and pretty sure I could have backed over the package without chipping the slabs!

I got one on Friday that stating I owed $1,029 for a 50 book modern prescreen that they received on 3/5. Don't they charge prescreens at time of grading? 🤷‍♂️

Was just happy there were no extra shipping charges on there.....

Also, was a bit of a shock seeing everything from this year all in one place, let alone the previous years 🤣

I haven't heard of anyone requesting a refreshed invoice on a pre-sale CGC before, which I believe are generally understood to take a LONG time (I don't buy them for this very reason). Certainly not saying your request was out of line, but would you have done the same if you had paid with a Visa through Shop Pay or something similar before the Visa dispute window closed?

Just playing devils advocate but if I were a retailer who hadn't received a request like this before it may come across as a red flag to me. 

I've been trying to gobble up as many mid-level keys that were on my want list as I can using proceeds from Something is Killing the Children and Department of Truth books that I pigged out on this past summer and fall. I'm comfortable taking profits on those books and buying others that I want to keep for my collection long term, even during the run up.
