  3. fwiw, received a submission acknowledgement email today. My submission has now officially been received by CGC and is scheduled for grading.
  4. Just wondering. Does a multi-tiered submission, say a couple of Express requests mixed in with a bunch of Modern/Economy in a single box marked on all sides with EX, speed up the process at all for the Modern/Economy TATs at all? Anyone 'in the know' here?
  5. For anyone interested, I was billed by CCS on 1/6/22. That's a 10 month turnaround for pressing. Submission Modern Grading tier, fwiw. Ideally actual grading follows soon-ish.
  6. Same boat here. My 4/3/21 submission just dropped off the face of the earth yesterday due to a seemingly arbitrary (and too short) 8 month shelf life on submission lookups. Silliness. Modern technology aught not subject us to such limitations, especially considering the average length of TATs.
  7. Thanks for the uplifting messages, all! I'm doing the "That's what I'm talking about" dance right now.
  8. I've been wondering that as well. Sent my first submission (and quite possibly last) of 20 books on 3/5/21. It landed in Sarasota on the 8th, was finally confirmed as delivered by USPS tracking on 4/1, and the order status has it marked as received by CCS on 4/3. At that time the estimated TATs were ~108 (working) days for a "quickpress", and another ~51 days for Modern grading turnaround. That's roughly 32 weeks, or 7 to 8-ish months. I thought they might arrive as a nice X-mas surprise. After nearly 7 months the submission is still with CCS, and might be for another fifty-ish days (given the currently estimated CCS TAT of 200 days). Add to that the current CGC Modern TAT estimate of 126 days, and I'm potentially looking at not seeing these books slabbed for another ~35 weeks, or 8+ months. I have to wonder if after another 7 months of waiting I'll have another 8 months to wait. Maybe next Christmas!? I've since purchased my own press, and will never make the mistake of sending to CCS again. After seeing advertisements for, say, six in-house signings per month (which may be a modest estimate), it's not a wonder that grading TATs at the lower tiers keep getting longer. Originally planned on sending a second submission before membership runs dry, but now that seems doubtful. In some industries slow service / delayed contract completion == associated pricing adjustments. This is frustrating.
  9. Received that order on Friday. Yep, it took just a little over 10 weeks.
