If I may ask, what did you have these graded at? Looks like they were all easily well over the $100 threshold for the value tier.
BTW sweet books!!
I didn't worry too much about whether the books at my assigned grades were valued at close to $100 or a bit over. I also didn't worry too much about whether I thought a book was a 9.2 or a 9.4, or another was a 9.0 or a 9.2 - my grade matches the one from CGC only a fraction of the time anyway. Indeed, an old CGC grade matches a new CGC grade only a fraction of the time (although usually at a higher rate than with this sub). It's easier to let the grades fall where they may, and let CGC charge me accordingly. Looks like McMiles did the same with his recent value tier sub as well, which had a slew of books valued at way over $100.
The one that was bumped all the way from Value to Standard tier is the TOS64. I cracked this years ago out of an old blue label 9.2 ow. The rest of the bumps were up to Economy.
I don't really concern myself with the grades or value either. For me, the time isn't usually a big deal, so I don't mind waiting and paying more after the fact if a book gets bumped to the next teir rather than paying to submit books in standard or economy and end up paying more than I needed to. If a book does come back with better grade an consequently should have been submitted in a higher teir based on the value, CGC will call and tell you that you owe them more money. So I don't think they care tha much either, since they are still getting right amount of money and actually have more time to get the book completed.
Now, If you sent in 30 ASM #14s in VF, I would expect you will get a call before they actually graded them.
Great idea. I will be submitting 30 books via value tier next week and will do the same.
