Should I expect CGC to be way behind in Submission turnarounds this summer?

[sl4ppy]

The wait started long ago.

 

My 10 books submitted on 4/8 are still in the "verified" stage.

Hopefully Chuck grades them all. I used to make a decent return flipping books that they slabbed when they had their 50% off sales in the past. (thumbs u

If Chuck is anticipating that he'll be spending about $100K on slabbing books, why wouldn't CGC send graders and equipment to Mile High and do some on-site grading there? Chuck saves a bit of coin and CGC avoids a backlog.

If the $100,000 grading fee plus the $80,000 cost of the collection is too difficult to absorb then maybe MH needs to apply for more credit cards?

They'll always be behind....., you with a firm grip on your shoulders......, whispering in your ear about submission..., when it comes to payment time

Wow, the grading fees are going to cost Chuck more than the entire collection he bought. I'm wondering if Chuck had a reputation as an accurate grader, he could have just sold them raw for a quick return to pay for his warehouse.

Do we know what books he bought?

First part of the email.

 

"My mind is reeling this morning, as I try to plan out just what to do after a stroke of completely unexpected good fortune came my way yesterday. In a nutshell, I purchased one of the ten best private collections of comics that I have seen in my 41 years in the comics business. It consists of a complete Marvel Comics collection from FANTASTIC FOUR #1-up! The owner of these comics began collecting them in used condition starting with SPIDER-MAN (1963) #28, and filled in his runs backwards by purchasing from comics shows and stores. Those earlier comics average in about Very Good condition, which is pretty typical for a Marvel Comics collection from that time period.

While having mid-grade and lower-grade complete runs of all the early Marvel Comics is nice, it is also a fairly common occurrence. I am offered (mostly) complete Marvel collections on a fairly regular basis, so only cost determines whether, or not, to purchase them. What sets this one collection apart from all the others that I have seen in the past decade, however, is that beginning in 1966, the owner began buying them and placing many of them into plastic bags without ever reading them. As a result, a goodly percentage of the 25,000+ comics in this one amazing collection will grade out above 9.0, with perhaps as many as several hundred grading out in the ultra-rare 9.4-9.6 range. Some of the mid-range issues of key titles like X-MEN, DAREDEVIL, AVENGERS, THOR, CONAN, HULK, SPIDER-MAN, IRON MAN, and FANTASTIC FOUR are in the best condition that I can ever recall seeing. Suffice it to say, this fantastic new collection has me very, very, excited!"
