Presumably quicker. I'm not familiar 

Thank you! Just trying to gauge how long it usually takes them to open up a walkthrough package, since they have had mine since Tuesday morning. I even marked the entire box with "WK" like we are supposed to. My last submission was opened and logged within 24 hours of receipt.

....do what I started doing and create a spreadsheet to log everything in to keep track of.

I do this. Like to note dates at which each status change updated. You quickly compile a historical chart that quickly lets you see trends developing. Like right now, my MODERNS w/no additional services have gone from even 5 months to about 3m3w TAT. Now to see if signings and Wondercon drive that up.

I think its the best way to really keep track of these. I have also added what grades I think the books will get after I have cleaned and pressed them, then add a column next to that with the actual CGC grade. There is a column for grader notes and one with my notes to mark any issues that I saw with the book before sending it in. I do the same thing with any books that I buy from Facebook shows or else you end up losing track of what you bought.

I do what you have been, add the day the package was mailed out, when it was received at their dock/front office, when it was checked in, and so forth to just keep track.

It is so baffling on how inconsistent that they are with opening these packages though. If I paid for walkthrough, that darn thing should be opened within 24 hours not days or a week later.

My modern pre-screen that went into SFG on 29 Jan 2022 just hit G/E/I on 13 Apr 2022. I have been very impressed on the turnaround times for my pre-screens so far. 

Interestingly, my slow track modern that also went into SFG on 29 Jan, same day as the pre-screen, is still in SFG. This is the second time in a row that my pre-screens were done faster than regular slow track submissions.

Worth noting that everything I have sent in so far has been significantly faster than the promised TATs on the web site. Kudos to the graders, they are really motoring right now.  

The modern pre-screen just flipped to Grading/QC, 14 Apr 2022.

At least if they come back with the same grade you won't have to forever wonder if they swapped the labels. 

For real.  I learned my lesson.  I've had 2 submissions that had 2 copies of the same book, where the lower graded copy looked better than the one that graded higher.  I won't ever make that mistake again.  Multiple copies of the same book are going in separate submissions from now on, unless there's a clear separation in grade (e.g. two copies of FF #52 where one is clearly in the 4.0 range, and the other in the 6.0 range).    
I pity those that submit 25 copies of the same book, never knowing now many had swapped labels.  

[djzombi]

Any word from anybody on where they are at with Economy Slow Track?  Has anybody that submitted in Sept. 2021 gotten their books back?  A few weeks ago some folks stated they got their Economy Slows from August.  I'm hoping they've at least moved into the September submissions, even though mine have a received date of 9/28/21

I had something similar happen with my first submission, but with 2 Batman books that they were off by 20 issues between each other. They both received the same grade and grader notes, while the one I thought was going to get graded very low. I made the same mistake you just made with this latest submission that CGC has received and now I am kicking myself. I sent 2 of Moon Knight #1's from the 1980 run. The one has an apparent issue where it looks like someone tried to clean the book and took a little bit of the yellow off of one of the letters in the MK title. While the other book is in NM+ condition, which conservatively I'd give it a 9.4-9.6 range. Now I fear after doing that both end up getting the lower grade because the grader could end up having an off day or lazy.

8/12 still SFG and now fallen off the log in page so I am no longer checking as it is too many extra steps (and they are not moving anyway)

I will say that most of the submissions I send in these days include 2 or 3 copies of the same book. Although I feel like the grading is super tough these days, I haven't had any of the experiences noted above. With that being said, I have several submissions that are currently being pressed that will have 8 plus copies of a single issue. Will see how that goes.

If you can remember, please keep us updated on how you fair with multiple copies of a single issue. Good luck!
