Economy submission from 5/13/21 just went into Grading/QC, after being in GEI for weeks.    
FINALLY.  

Shipped today.  

Grades were near my estimates, except one that was a whole point below what I thought   Good news is that my Cap #100 graded higher than anticipated.

Did they set an end date? "If we don't find them by THIS DATE, we'll compensate you."

No

But I couldn't log on for 2 days

Had to go through a 3rd party link - "bad gateway connection"  

 

Coincidence?

Yikes!  I hope you are a dealer because you are going to need a second house to store all of those books.

Nah, we've all been going thru that the last few days.

I was thinking the same thing with my submissions. I have 37 submissions (between 20 and 25 books each) currently sitting at either CGC or CFP. My comic book storage closet will barely fit a quarter of these books (taking into consideration all the CGC graded and raw books I have stored in there already). No idea where I'm putting the rest.

One of my Bill Sienkiewicz in house signings moved to CGC from CCS today.

I inquired about when my (Silvestri remarque, no pressing) stuck in G/E/I order would ship, below is the response:

" Thank you for your email, this private signing took place on 9/14/21 and this is when the 6-week turnaround time begins, the submission is currently in the Grading room being graded. It should be completed approximately by the end of the month. "

Nice to find this, thanks. My Silvestri Remarque hit G/E/I Sept. 30th, never saw any info on the actual signing date, so I’ve been counting the weeks since then. Will be nice if it actually ships next week!

For what it's worth I'm still waiting on my Roy Thomas and Walt Simonson books signed in August. Also Arthur Adams signing in September.

I had Louise Simonson books shipped back on 9/9 so I'm not sure why the extra wait.

That's one pricey Sienkiewicz book. 

The ten I submitted were all magazines, so I know they're gonna take longer. But it's nice to see that Sienkiewicz books are moving.

 Only that pricey if it gets a 9.9/10 or damage occurs.  (I always insure towards max value as if you only declare $100 then if the unfortunate should occur that is all they will cut the check for. )

I definitely agree it is good to see movement.

How's Express doing these days?

Woah. Did they get your package processed quickly with EX written on the sides? 

[awakeintheashes]

Yeah, I think it was delivered that day or the day before. I wrote EX multiple times all over the box.

Ugh, just when you thought things were getting better the TATs for Modern and Economy take a sizeable jump.  Just jumped from:

To:

It looks like there has been no slowdown in submissions.  They should either close down the lower tiers or just raise the prices again (this time with no warning).  Something has to give here.  Too much demand and too little supply.  And honestly, they need NOT worry about people moving over to CBCS.  Looking at their TAT discussions they seem even more swamped than CGC.  And the fact that their president is actually spending time grading books wouldn't give me the sense that they are going about expanding their capacity in the right way.  Come on Blackstone people, you've been there for nearly 4 months now, get this ship righted!
