Hello All, I sent my first Modern Mag submission: Received 10/27/2021 Status: Scheduled for grading Does anyone know the current T.A.T. for Modern Mags. Should I check back in a year or two?

@CGC Mike When did they revert back to pay up front policy? With the increased turnaround times they put that on hold so that people wouldn't have funds tied up for a year. I remember Paul S. confirmed that awhile ago.

Bro, Your card grader must have been a female named phoebe. LOL. this is a 100% biased grade. All jokes aside, congrats on the 10.

At Harbor Freight I get the Pelican Style Hard Plastic Cases with Foam inside. They usually have them on sale and they are indestructible. If you get the large case you can store a bunch of slabs safe and secure. They are the best. Good luck to you buddy

Thank you for the clarification. This is my first sub with comics / mags. I am excited to see how it goes.

@Jennifer F. I was also charged in December with no notice of what I was being charged for. No e-mail or heads up as to what the charge was for. It turns out it was for a submission that I sent in October. I don't even have a order number for it yet and they charged me already. I still have to wait a year or so to get my submission back. Is it normal for them to charge before it gets processed. I know with cards they charge the card when they are all done grading and getting ready to ship your submission back. Can you fill me in please? Is it different with Comics and Mags?

Hey Mac, Just saw your post. I have this. It would be a cool christmas present. $75 shipped and I can get it out tomorrow priority. It should get there by christmas no problem. Let me know if you are interested.

Sent 54 cards I inspected to be 10's, going by PSA standards. This was a test sub. I didn't care what cards they were (just ultra rare or better) I was trying to go for 10's. Received 6/14 shipped 12/14 __________________________ Pristine 10: 0 Gem Mint 9.5: 18 Mint 9: 30 NM/Mint+ 8.5: 5 NM/Mint- 8: 1 ________________________ Test 2 sub will be strictly Dragon Ball Super, which grades fantastic.

Hi Carnage, Here are some of the Star Wars cards that I pulled out of storage. I know it is impossible to tell what I have in there but let me know if this is what you are looking for. Message me if this looks like something you want to dive into. Thanks.

New issue; different day..

My 6/14 bulk w/ subs order shipped to me over a month ago. I have another 6/14 Bulk no subs that has been in GEI for 2½ months and hasn't moved. They are all over the place in turnaround times. So don't hold your breath.

Hey Carnage, I have quite a few of them. When I get a chance I will take some photos and send your way. I am crazy busy but I should get around to it in the next few days.

Not FIFO, my 6/14 sub came back to me last week. My 5/4 sub hasn't moved for two months and is still in G/E/I. They're all over the place. No reason my 6/14 should've come back before my 5/4 if FIFO was in full working mode.

My submission was only bulk. It didn't have any Standard or Express sub in with it. No rhyme or reason why it went so fast.

Yeah my 6/14 shipped today. I checked my account looking to see if my 5/4 entered quality control yet and I was surprised to see the 6/14 sub shipped. I never saw it go into Quality Control. I still have two bulk subs from Early May in G/E/I. They went into g/e/i a month before my june sub, which, were only in g/e/i for not quite 2 weeks. I don't understand their process anymore. Definitely not first in first out.

Bulk received 6/14 shipped today. That's cool. BUT WHAT ABOUT MY BULK RECEIVED 5/4? Sitting in G/E/I FOREVER!! F.I.F.O. or L.I.F.O.

I've been down this road. I had to present a third option; cards, comics, or wife. I still have all three and my collectibles were never spoken of again.

Mine was shipped back FedEx so I did get the link activated. So it seems correct that they don't activate it for USPS.

Where it says "shipped" under the status column, that should activate as an active link that you can click on to track your package. As mentioned in the previous post, you will also get an e-mail.

Oh I see. Thanks for clarification. Last I saw CGC bulk from April was getting a lot of attention and finalization. Was worried mine got passed up, but I think we are good. Thanks again.

When did your bulk enter GEI? I am happy to see bulk moving along. I have two bulk subs that were received almost one month ahead of yours that are still in scheduling. Did yours just move?

I have no doubts they will correct it. I am going to call them. I do not understand the lack of technology in their billing. The system is rigged to change past invoices to the current more expensive price. To me that is not ethical. They have to know that a good percentage of their customers are not going to notice it. In my business, I can pull up a customers past invoices and see what they paid 2, 10 or even 20 years ago. It does not automatically update their past bills to the current market rates. So, why does CGC's billing system do that? I am uber confused on this one. Change a price, change the invoices to the new price, manually correct the higher price to the lower price on each invoice, hope we see and fix every overcharged invoice, if we don't who cares most wont notice. That's what I'm getting here.

Was looking at my receipt from CGC to see what the shipping cost was so that I can open a claim against FedEx and noticed that CGC charged me $10 per sub-graded card. When I submitted the price was $4.50 per card as stated on my invoices from 7 months ago. I was wondering why my bill seemed higher than expected. I guarantee CGC is overcharging a lot of customers this way. People pay close attention to your bill. I would have never figured it out if I didn't go to look at my shipping cost. I can't imagine how much additional revenue they are making from this. They are probably laughing at us with each passing day.
