I have 600 at @joeypostwaiting to be pressed and submitted and over 1000 books at home waiting to be prepped and submitted eventually.  And that doesn't include the books that I continually buy every week. 

.....wow

Mind me asking, are you a dealer, speculator/flipper side hustle, or just working through umpteen long boxes to get a personal collection accrued over decades all graded?   

I mean...that's huge $ outlay for CFP + CGC each month.

Do not question the master.  Greggy eats first and we all gleefully enjoy sucking on the teet of his leftovers.

Anyone else having fun with Walk Through?

My previous WT submission that wasn't opened for three weeks was finally graded and shipped. 

It's been two weeks now and my final WT sub hasn't been opened. (Yes, I marked the box on all sides).

That walkthrough tier feels so outdated in today's market. Books bought for a few hundred 10 years ago now need walkthrough tier to get graded. That 3000$ treshold is so easy to achieve that those delays make sense (in an oxymoron kind of way). CGC has to reconfigure that tier, they simply can't keep up.

Yes

I just use my expertise and contacts and buy and sell.  

It was great working from home during Covid and from what I hear, this may be a permanent situation until I retire in a few years so I'm going to milk it.

Yes, when 12 subs get billed at once and $7K gets added to my cc bill, it does looks scary but I the current market has made my books so much more valuable so I'm OK with it.

I think they have barely just started opening May boxes. I have a box that was delivered May 12th that hasn't even been checked in yet. If its any indication of where they are at I have a Modern/Slow from April 1st that was finalized and mailed Friday.

Thanks:)

Currently have six subs awaiting charges myself so CC will get punched in face soon. And while never maxing submissions, just my meager 5-10 books subs I've been splitting half keep/half flip to pay for the whole order. 1% cash back is nice on CC too! So I understand that cost benefit analysis.

Some of my books have been shipped that I submitted mid March modern slow track.  So a 4 month wait.  Pretty ridiculous but whatever. 

Grades looked fair except for 3 of the books, which is most upsetting.

This was Modern Slow? That's something like 68 days. Considering what the Services and Fees page says, that's very fast. (it's sad that 68 days is considered fast)

My pre-screen moderns received 3/24 just went to SFG.  Anything not pre-screen went to grading without scheduling.  Weird.

Care to elaborate? Just curious as ai have seen people unhappy with grades recently and assuming there are grader notes that help understand why a harsh grade right?

Your phone battery level is giving me anxiety. Ironically the TAT’s give me none, am numb to those at this point, but there’s still hope for your phone battery.

still better than a year at PSA 

Well like I said we have the power on the 1st level to slow CGC down.  Everyone stop submitting for 2 months.  Problem solved.

Once other submitters lay down their submissions I will do the same.

"Hey! @NewWorldOrder has a box behind his back! I see it!...and he's sidestepping to that PO Box!

2 of them had notes of "pebbeling".  Which is assume are tiny dimples?  The 3rd had no notes on it.  Two 9.0 and one 9.2.  I looked those books over hard with an LED light and pressed them several times.  Covers were flat and clean.
