I didn't mean that it did, I understand your frustration, indeed I posted here because messages sent through their contact us form are usually ignored. I just wanted to be sure you had seen his reponse.

Thanks Mike. That's great to hear and thank you for taking the time to respond here.

Indeed. It's also broken. If you use an order number to look up items that are still outstanding but part of the order has shipped you won't see the outstanding items... just the ones that shipped first not others that shipped later or those still in the queue. So not only are they not in the list there's no way to see them.

This is what we know, I'm asking why since turnaround times can be longer than 8 months.

Why is the submissions list limited to only 8 months when turnaround time is longer than that? I have submissions now which I can't see anymore since they are older than 8 months... I did download a list so I have the order numbers but why not keep all unshipped and incomplete orders visible until at lease a month has passed after they ship??

Take it per PM :-)

Take it!

Is that an "a" written on the front cover?

Take (can't see if it's still available or not tbh so guess it is)

Take it

And at the same time they are getting less consistent with their grading. I would think that's one thing they can't afford to screw up and yet it seems that they are.

No, first thing I looked at.

Like everyone else I have books that have been in the queue for months but a few books that arrived this week are aleady being graded so it's left me stratching my head. How does CGC queue? It's not first in, first out?

Thanks. I'll probably go for it at that price.

I didn't send in 80 books for private signings. I sent in less than 20, most were regular grading and those were packaged in mailers inside another box with padding etc. so I'm sure they'll be fine, fingers crossed. And I only sent in raw books so the process to maintain a yellow label wasn't relevant. If it's just a grading fee + pressing fee then it could be worth doing since it might raise the 9.2 and 9.4 to 9.8s

Thanks. If I have to pay the full signature fee again it's probably not worth doing tbh but good to know. I'll look out for those approved pressers.

I'm betting the answer is no... even if the press is by CCS. Two of three books I sent to CGC were severly damaged in transit resulting in those two getting 9.2 and 9.4 grades instead of all 9.8 (luckily the most expensive got the 9.8). Is it possible to have them resubmitted to be pressed by CCS and still get a signature series label? (I'm also in a bit of a panic that something similar might have happened to the other 80 or so of my books sitting with CGC even though I pack extremely carefully it does seem that the post office is on a mission to destroy anything regardless of it being labelled 'fragile' or not)

You're right, archival tape gets a conversation label: https://www.cgccomics.com/grading/grading-scale/?scale=restoration So I'll just connect it with scotch tape and submit. They'll grade it like the piece is not there but should look better and get a blue label. Thanks

Thanks, that's very helpful. CGC would grade the comic as if that piece is missing which means I can either leave it out (doesn't present as well) or reattach with archival tape (probably mentioned on the label - can't find a clear answer if the type of tape affects this)

From other posts I've seen it get's a blue label with a mention of the tape.

Thanks everyone. I did ask CGC but haven't heard back yet. I'm probably just going to attach it with archival tape and submit. I'm only hoping for 1.8 or 2.0 at best anyway.
