  1. that's harsh...were you the one that talked to them already and they pretty much blew you off?
  2. It could be on its way...Ive had this happen to me only to see it on my pouch the next day...I think this has to do with it being registered mail.
  3. 3 weeks now in GEI for Express....one month since received
  4. I was pleasantly surprised...it's a light hearted fun show..we will see if it gets dark and complicated for Kamela or if they keep it simple
  5. Ive had an Express in GEI for over two weeks now..coming up on a month since received..about ten days longer than stated TAT
  6. A little off topic...I am thinking about trying pre screen..are they charging for the entire submission when received then they refund later those that didnt make the cut..or do they wait to charge you after the screening?
  7. Aside from the screenwriting, which in itself seems kitchy (but this can be changed during production/post)...So far, the series just seems to miss ..as if the director or editing team is not able to stitch scenes together to not have continuity problems ..the opening scenes of him drudging thru daily life are inadequately developed ...yeah we get it..his life is boring and severely mundane..but the sense of foreboding that we are supposed to see is lacking in the scene to scene development...at least in the first two episodes. I really don't understand the obsession that the inquisitors have with looking for Jedi...yes, it's their job and it's expected but the writing seems complacent and the acting , not so much overdone but just silly...I will keep watching because I am a star wars fan but after the awe of Mandalorian and even to a lesser extent, The Book of Bobba Fett, you would think that the execution of Obi Wan would be even better...but maybe the gap that needs filling is too much of a job to fulfill...at least on the screen
  8. I got similar notes after being pressed..I think they just eyeball a grade and copy/paste some random notes from a template of notes or they didn't actually send to CCS
  9. The express (FF 49) has been sitting in GEI for two weeks. I suspect they are waiting for a very experienced grader to grade it. The FTM shipped today is interesting..you can tell it was graded by a newbie ..all the grader notes are standard boiler plate notes ..the fine condition ones have four of these notes and the near mint grades have two of these notes. But the grades were better than I predicted for all but one of them (ASM 299, I was way off it seems)...but I can live with it...all are going to MCS for auction. I really wish they would get that Express out of GEI ...paid a lot for it. The signature shipped today is Claremont signing X-men 101 ...the only X-men cover I like ...finally getting it back...that had to be one of the longest wait times on a SS. It was graded a 7.0 which is what I expected
  10. My MFT received on 5/11 went to QC today but Express sitting in GEI for almost two weeks (same received as MFT)...I have one book in Express, 12 in MFT ...I don't get it..but happy something is moving fast
  11. Express sitting in GEI for over a week now Chris Claremont signing, GEI for two days FTM just went GEI received 5/11
  12. It's not necessarily 23 days...my economy FT have been sitting in SFG for 35 business days
  13. Both Express and FTM received on May 13… today FTM went to GEI.. no change on Express. And no Movement on FTE received five weeks ago
  14. Last week I sent several tiers in the same box...one Express, five FTM and two for Gerry Conway signing..last friday the Express and FTM were put into SFG mode...but no 'sign' of the signings...I hope the unthinkable is not about to happen (The Infinity Turnaround Time) ..emailed CGC two days ago but no response yet..I am telling myself that they went to CCS and just havent been inputted yet.
  15. yeah..I have two economy ST from September...ugh...but the worst is a CCS pressing/grading economy ST that is still at CCS...that was received last June...I dont send anything economy ST anymore
  16. I happen to know they are opening boxes delivered in May and have been for at least a week. I wonder about the TATs on fast track though..I have two submissions. I also had a express opened and submitted today so we will see how long that takes.
  17. the pics were before the sprinkler system went off
  18. oh man...that is annoying...I send them a lot of stuff for consignment too..food for thought
  19. did they damage the slab?..curious why they are sending a slab to reholder for you
  20. they opened my MFT box yesterday..delivered on May 4th..so they are a week behind..unless they are not opening in chronological order
  21. well, that figures..hopefully movement before we all die
