    The turnaround times didn’t drastically increase until after I submitted my books last year, yet those books are still with CGC 11 months in. So while that advice may hold for future submissions, it doesn’t apply for many items currently with them.

    I’m in the frustrated boat as well since I receive seemingly endless quick-turn signing promotions but have been waiting since April of 2021 for my pressing/grading to be completed. I would be far more understanding if it wasn’t for all of the signing emails I get that seem to indicate I should only be submitting to signings if I want my books back within the year.

    It was to me too, but taking it as a learning experience. Still have another of these unslabbed in my collection.

    Got my shipment and figured I would post an image since the "Mall" tag is fairly new.

    Yeah, you're absolutely right on the math part (and I wish money wasn't an issue). I think I was just kind of surprised/frustrated by some of the grades when I started this thread. I'm still not amazing at grading my own books/knowing when to press and when not to no matter how much I read up on it all.

    Went ahead and had my Deerbrook copy graded, so that should be showing up in the census. Came in at an 8.0, which I'm pleased enough with given that I got it for free from a folding table at the mall as a kid.

    So, I'm curious as to what folks generally think about resubmitting grading disappointments to add pressing services and go for a regrade. I've had a few that I had hoped would receive higher grades (I'm sure this is a common problem) and was considering doing this. Here are the grader notes for a few. Just wanted to see if anyone had any advice as to the extent to which a press/regrade would change the condition given these problems. I realize visible spine lines aren't going away, but am unsure of the level of the grading when coupled with other things a press might take care of. I know it's impossible to say with any surety how a grade might change, but any general advice is appreciated. Grade: 9.2 White Notes: light bends to cover Grade: 6.5 White Notes: moderate bends to covermoderate spine stress lines to cover Grade: 8.0 White Notes: light bends to coverlight creasing to coverlight finger bends on coverlight spine stress lines to coverlight staining to cover
