Has anyone ever had a submission go to G/QC and then back to SFG? 

Feels like a bit of a tease. 

SFG today. Thinking it will beat my 11/13 prescreen.

when did your prescreeen 11/13 move to scheduled for grading

i have a prescreen modern 11/14 sitting at received as of today

That one moved to SFG almost immediately, within 1 or 2 days of being marked received. All my later submissions are still marked received. 

Starting to check these obsessively, will be interested to see which one completes first.

Definitely, especially if grading notes show non color breaking creases.

I was wrong, they called me back already! Confirmed they skipped pressing and are pulling them out of grading to go back in line at CCS.

Crisis averted, thanks everyone for listening to my adventures today.

I would call and ask again. For instance, my modern slow track pressed books took 74 business days to press (received 7/28) and  have been sitting at SFG since 11/12. I also have another quick press submittal that was received 11/16 (they haven't charged me yet, which is typical). I hate to say it, but it does seem like your books went to grading right away.

Yeah, my last quickpress before this one was 8/12, updated to received at CGC 11/30 and is now sitting in SFG. Last full press was received 7/13 and F/I/S today actually.

Talked to a new CSR and she agreed there was no way. Said she would reach out to CCS and call me back. My money is on these things ship out graded and unpressed before I hear back but we shall see. These were all post-2018 books with very minor issues so the grades should reflect whether they were pressed or not relatively easily I'd think. 

This will either be the fastest CCS Quickpress/CGC submission in history or someone is messing with me. Updated to Grading/Quality Control now....

Edit: I feel weird griping my submission is moving to fast.

My last 2 press jobs went from CCS to SFG as well. Unfortunately, it took 74 and 78 business days, respectively. Are they moderns, and did they charge you $8 per book? 20 business seems super quick.

That makes me feel a tad better that you didn't get new received days. Yep, moderns, they charged $200 for CCS ($8/per) as soon as they were received.

Should I be concerned this submission went to Scheduled for Grading? It had CCS Quickpress service, which was billed appropriately shortly after receipt. 11/13 was the original received date so is it possible it skipped CCS completely even though I was charged?

So follow up, called CGC to confirm and I smell disaster brewing. Told me these had already been pressed. I'm VERY skeptical that these were pressed in 30 calendar days. I've also done enough of these to know there is always a new received date when they pass from CCS to CGC which never happened. Guess I'll wait and see what happens next

Thank you!

Slot added per a previous request. Thank you. 1/6/21 

I just feel happy for my packages taking the trips that I can't right now. Like this one, I live in Kansas City but as soon as my package got here she decided she didn't want to be here either and left. What an adventure it must be....

CCS Quickpress received 8/12 finally moved over to CGC. 

Quick press. Gonna be awhile on that 11/13....

Almost there

My 50 book Modern Prescreen

Received 15 Sep

SfG 15 Oct

Grading/Quality Control 5 Nov

Gives me hope! My 25 book Modern Prescreen was Received/SFG on the exact same days 🤞

I believe Scott's Collectibles is coordinating the signing. Probably cheapest and most reliable to go directly to the source.

CCS quick press. CC just charged today. 

Thinking this might sit SFG for awhile.

Bisbee, Arizona? The picturesque town in the bowl? That's an amazing little town! Had no idea it existed until I was on a road trip and had the best two days ever exploring it, assuming that's the Bisbee we're talking about....

I just had the same book in a batch that F/I/S on Friday and it has regular old boring white pages. 

Got this OA piece of hers for the Commanders in Crisis book coming out in a few weeks. Her work is really spectacular in hand. 

My last Heritage Auctions purchase (Batman 4 in a magazine slab) showed up with the bottom of the case total mangled where I could probably pull the book out if I wanted to. There was no plastic in the box so I know it was shipped that way. I was highly annoyed for a moment. Coincidentally.......
