27x Modern Prescreen Non-FT Received 4/1/21 GEI 8/27/2021 Grading/QC 9/3/2021

I also remember this.... occurring around January/February 2020. havent seen it since.

This summed up CGC's 5 Realms of Suffering perfectly.

Yeah that whole GEI step is a black hole.... Hopefully yours are quicker since it was FT. Best of luck!

Most I've seen it take was 3 days (was a large submission), but it is usually a full business day. Good luck!

I had a 25x Modern Prescreen that was entered as Received on 3/26/2021 that was finally shipped on 7/28/2021. It is baffling to me that they are just now (about a month) getting to submissions in that same tier/service that were entered as Received on 3/31/2021 (based on your submissions above). I have one more 27x Modern Prescreen that was entered as Received on 4/1/2021, so I'll be watching for your updates to give me an idea of mine

My Value/Economy books were received back in April, and have been sitting in Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging for 3 weeks now.. 6x Book Economy Submission (No Press, No FT) Received - 4/1/21 SFG - 4/2/21 Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging - 7/16/21 12x Book Value Submission (No Press, No FT) Received - 4/1/21 SFG - 4/2/21 Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging - 7/19/21

Still in Grading/Quality Control , but my credit card was charged early this morning (7/28/21). Based on the amount, 21-22 of these books passed the prescreen. Not bad at all.

These Economy and Value submissions are still sitting in GEI. However, my 25x Modern Pre-Screen submission has moved interestingly enough... 25x Book Pre-Screen Modern Submission (No Press, No FT) Received - 3/26/21 SFG - 7/8/21 Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging - 7/26/21 Grading/Quality Control - 7/27/21 Did we ever get a clear answer as to what the hell the difference is between GEI vs GQC ?

Still waiting on two Modern Slow with Prescreen myself.... x25 Book received on 3/25/2021 (still in SFG) x27 Book received on 4/1/2021 (still in SFG)

ebay... always ebay (at least in my experience). Very amazed as to what sells and what it sells for. For the record, I personally wouldn't pay a CGC 9.8 price minus less grading fees for any raw book claiming to be 9.8. As far as I'm concerned, not even CGC can consistently determine a 9.8 (based on resubmission on 9.6s that came back a 9.8, unpressed). Though again, ebay buys everything, so you might be in luck.

This is what I've been doing since April, and my extra books have been moving quick. I may be losing out on bigger profits that come with a slabbed book that pops due to speculation, but these raw books have been moving much quicker than slabs.

Update on the 6x Book Economy Submission (No Press, No FT) Received - 4/1/21 SFG - 4/2/21 Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging - 7/16/21

25 Modern Pre-Screen (No Fast-Track) Received 3/25/2021 Scheduled for Grading 7/8/2021 So 72 business days to move one step along the way... not counting the 14 business days it took to unbox/enter my books into the system after delivery.

6x Book Economy Submission (No Press, No FT) Received - 4/1/21 SFG - 4/2/21 Been in SFG ever since.... 12x Book Economy Submission (No Press, No FT) Received - 4/1/21 SFG - 4/2/21 Been in SFG ever since....

seriously, don't throw any money towards CCS. @Jkelly happy to recommend you a few here in California if needed

Exactly. There is a much greater demand across the board (more so for CGC as it has historically pulled a higher return), and not just for comics. Majority of folks are trying to cash in while they can, CGC included (hence the disregard for trying to improve TAT or general customer service). There's no need to do anything extra beyond what's been done if the money keeps coming in

Glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for the feedback!

Anyone have a regular Modern Pre-Screen submission (no Fast Track) entered as "Received" on/before 3/25/2021 that they are still waiting on? Seems like most people did Fast Track based on all the updates I've seen. Hoping to see if they are working their way towards mine, or if it might have been skipped (because we all know FIFO is a lie...)

Brent/Karen over at CSCS are good people! Very quick turnarounds for books, and is always honest/upfront about whether the press will really help or not. Also like being able to meet-up with them and hand the books off vs mailing them if you're in southern California.

Seems to be a common occurrence lately, which is causing a lot of us to questions this whole "First In, First Out" policy that CGC advertises. Same thing happened to me:
