Just got back a 44 pre-screen with 16 rejects. Never have I had so many not pass. I can't even see why they were rejected, they look perfect and I usually only get 1 or 2, and then it's pretty obvious why. I also noticed the return of the Newton Rings, which I thought they had taken care of but almost every single book had one.

Get ready for more price hikes, BlackRock just lost $17 Billlion in Russia. Not surprising, since it's the same people that brought you the crash of '08.

They were bought out by a billion dollar company. They're going to want to optimize their investment.

I think CGC is doing a marketing test to see where people will draw the line at sending it fast track vs non-fast track. With every tweak they are finding out where people break down and not submit, change the regular submissions to fast track, or stay with the long TAT's.

And more good news, looks like TATs have been extended again.

Anyone else get charged by CCS for George Perez submission after they cancelled his signing? I still haven't even gotten the email about my options.

Mine got delivered 1/26 and I put his initials all over the box and it still hasn't been entered into the system.

Well got my answer on this one real quick. Looks like unfortunately the George Perez signing has been cancelled. They will be returning all submission. I'm sending my thoughts to George, he is a legend.

Still haven't had my George Perez books uploaded in their system. I know the signing has been delayed but makes me nervous that I had sent them in over 3 weeks ago and put his initials all over the box and it wasn't separated to be entered in. This was the first time I sent to their PO Box, not sure if that was a mistake.

Yep. This was the first time I mailed it to the PO Box and now I'm wondering if that was a mistake.

How is it that CGC can have my prescreen books in Quality Control for over a week? They can figure out how to charge me but they can't figure out how to ship them.

My July Modern Prescreens are in Quality Control.

Anyone know about what the average time frame a Modern Prescreen is staying in G/E/I status before moving to Grading Quality Status? Mine has been in there since 1/11. I know a few months ago they were staying in there for about 2 months.

July Modern in shipping.

I hate it when they change their TAT's and you have submissions that are past that date. It's like you know that TAT is just a lie at that point. 12 Modern (Currently ~ 134 business days, TAT 118) Delivered 7/14/21 SFG 9/2/21 G/E/I 1/13/22 G/QC 1/18/22 25 Modern Prescreen (Currently ~ 134 business days, TAT 133) Delivered 7/14/21 SFG 9/2/21 G/E/I 1/11/22 25 Modern Prescreen (Currently ~ 104 business days, TAT 133) Delivered 8/25/21 SFG 9/30/21 12 Modern (Currently ~ 40 business days, TAT 118) Delivered 11/22/21 SFG 11/29/21 25 Modern Prescreen (Currently ~ 28 business days, TAT 133) Delivered 12/9/21 SFG 12/14/21 19 Modern Prescreen (Currently ~ 28 business days, TAT 133) Delivered 12/9/21 SFG 12/14/21

Anyone know how long the Mechanical Error's TAT? I've had to send one back on 11/22 and haven't seen it move. I would hope they would've fast tracked it since I had originally waited over 6 months for it the first time.

Is anyone still getting that experimental lightning service? I was hoping with my most recent submission that I might luck-in and get my books back quick.

Looks like they may hit that 132 TAT right on the nose.

Unfortunately, that's their standard answer. Really doesn't tell you when it will be done.
