  1. I have been collecting, buying, looking up GI JOE for almost 30 years and have never seen that. I am weary of it as well. Maybe reach out to FHE??
  2. I had a magazine order arrive a few days ago and another one ship today. It was in Grading/QC for an abnormally long time after being charged (pre-screen), I kind of figured this might have something to do with it.
  3. Yeah, I don't really get this stance. Cards have been and will be more heavily traded than comics for as long as I can ever remember. Besides the fact that cards are based on sports, just think of availability and logistics. Cards are much smaller and easier to send in the mail, house, collect, vault, etc. Cards are also sold just about everywhere that retail exists where comics do not have that. Anyways, I am involved in both hobbies and have been for over 30+ years each. I do agree that cards have had way more scandals and most people don't seem to care at all. Cards are altered every single day and still graded by the grading companies and outed all the time. Nothing ever changes and more and more money just keeps changing hands. I would suggest cards are at a too big to fail crossroads as so much money is involved and invested.
  4. Last year was horrible. This year??? I can't believe how good the guest list was compared to the traffic in the room. Many of the tables are sold out, so someone has to be set up. Could be all sword and siding guys a la Wizard. I really don't know what to expect or if I can even go based on last year.
  5. Anyone have any tips on removing mailing labels from Magazines before sending in? I have done a fair amount of googling, but nothing seems definitive. Any advice? Thanks!
  6. Yes, it was delivered a few days earlier. Second time in a week I have gotten 1 or 2 day service on Slow Boat Modern Pre-Screens. I still have many orders sitting from as far back as April (ccs) and July (just grading). These are new orders under the new pricing. All my other orders are pre price increase.
  7. Another slow boat Pre-screen order for me: Received: 10/13/21 Shipped: 10/15/21
  8. Just had a 25 book modern pre-screen get checked in today and go straight to g/e/i. I ran errands all day and just checked and it was marked as shipped for 10/11. I still have 4/7 stuff sitting at CCS in process and many other prescreens sitting in g/e/i from as old as late july. Weirdest thing I have ever seen. I was also charged today as well, so it is going out the door. 10/8/21 25 1,270 PRESCREEN - MODERN Shipped 10/11/21
  9. All mine says Grading/QC before shipped. It goes GEI/GQC and then shipped. it has been that way since they flipped it over a few months ago or whatever. I don't get QCF.
  10. They did not really ENFORCE this until recently and it was only on certain cards. They started hiring staff a few years ago to solely concentrate on upcharging people. Before it was on egregious examples like Jordan rcs and things of that ilk. I didn't get upcharges for years and years and now get them in almost every order. I am sure the new CGC investors are all over this as they have some familiarity with PSA and card grading.
  11. This is what PSA (card grading) has been doing for years. I figured this was finally coming here. I hope it isn't widespread.
