While it would def be helpful, he’s claimed books on Instagram (ASM300 9.6 newsstand via Grailz on 10/23 for example) and who knows what other avenues….conventions, Facebook marketplace, Craigslist. None of those would have a paper trail (or GPA) and really makes this all more difficult. 

Very true. I had forgotten about the ASM 300 talk.

Thus if I was CGC I'd be trying to identify all the books submitted for reholder under this scammer's account or accounts and then trying recover as many of those as possible. Even consider publishing a list of suspected tampered books at some point in the future. But that would probably just make the books infamous and thus even more collectible. 

One interesting piece of info eBay could provide is this scammer's buying history. I'm curious if he was too lazy to use a 2nd account for buying his lower grade books used for swapping. Guess if this Hulk 181 is the book then that ebay ID's history would be helpful if any official investigation is undertook.

I'm beginning to worry mine have moved to the backburner, as well. They have been in GEI for over two weeks.

Two weeks? I'm going on 4 weeks in GEI for my 10/24 submission where the other half shipped back 27 days ago. So this First In, First Out is malarkey.

Mike, will this have any effect on the FIFO issues we have been having? If you check the invoices I posted our last three group submissions (10/26, 11/2, and 11/9) have each had one modern invoice ship while another is still in GEI. I understand that FIFO can't be expected to be perfect, but waiting on our 10/26 modern to get out of GEI after having received the slabs from another group shipped to CGC in the same box is a bit frustrating.

Just to commiserate.... I'm right there with you on my 10/24 submission of 25 books. 10 modern books shipped back 11/02 and the other 15 modern with custom labels have been stuck in GEI after both sets were progressing on identical tracks. Pretty ridiculous really. The 20 Day turnaround time that CGC so proudly brags about has come and gone...no matter how they want to count it.

Block this thief. Purchased a Edge of Spider-Verse #2 CGC 9.4 on October 10th. Delivered UPS on October 13th with note MET CUSTOMER.

End of December I get a message that he hadn't received the book. Ignored. December 31st he disputes it with his credit card. 

Today February 24th, eBay advises that his card company sided with him but of course I'm all good because I followed eBay's rules and they'll eat the cost.

But he's still a thief. Lesson learned, don't ship to the projects.

To clarify, they've always claimed that turnaround times start at received.

Always? Different person, different answer. Hence the confusion. Honestly, “it’ll get done when it gets done” seems to be the only real answer of consequence.

Those grades are such a slap in the face to all of the collectors and dealers that have submitted for years and know how rare 9.9 and 10s are (supposed to be). 

Like the 274 Stray Dogs Acetates on the census with none cracking above 9.8?

Can anyone provide guidance or an opinion on why a 24 x book modern order would be stalled at G/E/I since 6/20/22? It was marked received on 4/7/22 with no other added services.

I have been watching this thread for weeks and it seems that other people with modern orders received well after mine are getting Q/C and shipped.

I emailed customer service about it last week and they told me there was no issue with my order and books received on 3/16/22 are currently entering quality control which is ridiculous. Greggy has been posting updates all day with modern orders received 5 weeks after mine that have already shipped.

Anyone have any insight? @CGC Mike?

Well your books must be stacked on top of my books. I came by just to vent more than anything. I've got one Modern submission of 22 books that was marked received back on 3/2 and has been stuck in G/E/I since MAY. 90+ working days and counting. I've had multiple subsequent Modern and even Prescreen Modern submissions get completed and shipped back weeks ago. But this one order seems to be stuck in the CGC black hole. I broke down and called last week and got the expected canned response. "Everything looks fine. No red flags."
