My book finally shipped today. (Day after my birthday.  Nice birthday gift!!)

With the exception of few lottery winners who got their slow modern graded super fast, it seems like it is first in first out (FIFO). I submitted my books in July and was marked received 8/29 and a few weeks after people who posted they got their books shipped and their books were received 8/14ish, I got mine shipped.

And they were all graded 9.8 so I'm pretty stoked!!!

So if your books were marked received around 8/29ish.. you should be getting your books soon..

*sigh* I'm at the 6 month mark for a four book economy submission and TaTs keep moving in the wrong direction. I think today is 127 business days and still SFG as of this past Saturday. My hope for a Christmas miracle now seems to be a pot of gold at the end of the St. Patrick's Day rainbow. :sorry: 

My earliest pre-screen Economy is 7/20/21 and another in 8/27/21.  My logic is its better sitting in their closet than mine. lol

Still waiting on my 8/3 submissions, including a Modern one that has been in GEI since 12/3. None of them were pre-screen submissions. I have been told the one in GEI is "Getting Close" to being done as of this week. 

At this rate, my September 2021 submissions will be back before the August ones.......

I only care to get these back with enough lead time to unload a hopefully high grade copy of ASM Annual #16. Starting to wonder if that will happen before the next movie comes out...

My Modern PS Delivered May 26 haven't moved off SFG.  :pullhair: yet ppl from June and July have theirs back.  I asked CGC and they said it's still a few weeks out.  We'll be pushing 180 working days at that point.

Its just seems insane to me that they continue to have some submissions hit the lottery when older submissions just sit. I wonder if they even have the ability to figure out where the older submissions actually are and they have no way of even figuring it out.

The way I imagined this working is that modern submissions are assigned to each grader (scheduled for grading). When new submissions come in, perhaps a grader that usually does standard submissions agrees to do a modern submission quickly (perhaps because they want to get modern tats down). That grader can’t take a submission that is already assigned to a modern grader so they have to take one of the new submissions that has just come in.

Well, if their plan is to 'follow the money', they are doing well with their Walkthru service.  The website said 9 days wait time when I sent my book, it arrived 1/10, and today (1/13) I got the image of the graded book.   So...huzzah? (:

If I were to guess the moderns are being screened by the new hires so random line jumps would be maybe easy books to grade?
the eco+ tiers are likely going to the more experienced graders in “hopes” that less errors or super incorrect grading takes place.

When the vast majority of modern is 9.0 or better before being looked at gives the newbs time to get familiar with the process.

Again just a guess.
