And risk cutting into all their profits from this booming demand? I could only hope so! They are sitting on a HUGE load of money there, especially with everyone and their mother submitting a few weeks ago to beat the price increases. And as CGC has made abundantly clear, once CGC has our books, there's no getting them back until CGC says they're done. To be fair, we should all know what we signed up for when we submitted, as we hear again and again that turnaround times are "estimates". Confident in saying I won't be submitting any more books for my personal collection once I get these pending ones returned to me. CGC has made it clear they value profit over service. Thankfully my membership is expiring in September (which is probably a month or two after I'll be getting my books back). Doesn't feel right whatsoever supporting a company that's freely holding our property hostage because of "estimates"

Have the same type of submission that was entered as Received on 3/26..... so almost 2 months out

WHAT THE???!

YIKES. You do realize that these imaginary large sums of money can only realistically be obtained via CGC right now? Think you about: that money doesn't exist until someone pays you what THEY think they're worth, and the market has always paid for more for CGC-graded items. You have no other viable option of getting these returns, because lets be honest, you aren't going to submit anywhere else and risk getting a smaller piece of the pie. So why do you all keep insisting on biting the hand that has yet to feed you? By all means, please let your fellow card submitters know how it goes with those other two companies you posted (you won't)

"every sin" is pretty spot on for these. YEEESH, stuff that I've never seen documented on any prior grading notes I've ever been provided with

Update (finally): - Delivered 3/26/2021 - "Received" 4/22/2021 (package sat for almost 4 weeks exactly) - Scheduled for Grading 4/22/2021 - Grading/Quality Control 4/29/2021 - Finalized/Imaged/Shipped: 5/4/2021 Received almost a paragraph of Graders Notes for each of my books, which is why I'm thinking it took almost 4 days to grade these 4 books. Nice to see some attention to detail (as compared to my modern submissions that come back with the same grades, but just one or two lines of notes).

No results yet, though don't anticipate any until later today/tomorrow morning based on past experiences. I wouldn't freak out too much. My current (Modern) and previous (Value) Fast Track submissions sat in SFG for quite some time. It's been that way since December of 2020 that they almost immediately go to SFG and sit the entire duration of the turnaround time in there.

I think it depends on what you are hoping to do with these 4 books.... staying in the personal collection, or are you trying to cash in on the hot market? If trying to cash in, I'd only really bother if its a hot/key book that will grade high. If it's to keep in your collection, I'd say wait it out until this surge dies down.... Just my opinion. The 4 books I finally got around to submitting are for my personal collection.... if I had known it was going to be this crazy, I would have waited honestly.

Thanks! 4 old-label books that I resent for grading (had not been pressed/cleaned). Hoping for the best, and not necessarily prepared for the worst :\

I believe this function was to meant to appease everyone that is overly-concerned about their packages showing "Delivered" by their respective carrier, but still not showing as "Received" in their account. So it's more of an attempt to say "Calm down, anxious collector. Your package is sitting here, it was not destroyed, delivered to the wrong address, stolen, or any other paranoid situation that is running through your head right (as you check your account every hour)". Now only if they could get it to work....

Had a great time at this event. Can’t thank @shortboxed and @TerrysComics enough for the opportunity. Didn’t move as much as I thought, but enough to fund my signatures/CGC grading the next day. It was great meeting everyone, and I hope it all goes down again next year!

Cheers! really just trying to gauge whether I'll be visiting one of the wonderful breweries in the area before/after the event

Just finished packing up two short-boxes of raw books: one Marvel and one DC (all Silver/Bronze books). Still sorting through mags to bring, with previously-mentioned slabs. Not to be THAT guy, but are the "refreshments" still happening?

Regular non-FT Modern? I had submitted 10x Modern that were marked as received on December 5th. This gives me hope that I'll get them before Cal Comic-Con

I'm planning on it, just trying to gauge my schedule at the moment; was hoping to get some books signed myself. I'll be in touch!
