1 Book Unlimited Value

Dropped at UPS 1/30

Delivered/Scanned at CGC - 1/31

SFG -2/1

GEI - 2/2

G/QC - 2/5

On day 5 of an estimated 3 day turnaround.  Starting to wonder what's going on.  $700+ to grade a book and it's just sitting there.

My submission is still not opened since friday 26. Already contacted customer care few times . A few days ago they replied me to contact them today (wednesday) if it wasn´t opened i just contacted them and they are telling me to wait until monday :( . They say they have a big volume because of the Megacon but i been checking this thread since my submission was delivered and i see that the estimated time to open a package was around 2 days... I told them this and they are telling me now that vintage tier is the slowest , anyway i will contact them monday and see what happens

It's always possible they could upcharge you if they determine your book is worth more than you declared it.  But I only paid so much because I declared it's value at $20,000.  It's a TMNT #1 first print that is in pretty decent shape.

Ah, it all makes sense now. I have been checking a submission that has not been opened even though it was delivered a couple of days ago and it seemed to be taking a while compared to other recent ones to get into the system. I was started to get a little worried because it is a high value submission, but now I know why things are slower which makes me feel a lot better. 

Vintage and Magazine submissions are typically the slowest.

They always have some kind of excuse ready to go when things like this happens ...

A.  Delay due to NYCC intake

B.  Delay due to in house move

C.  It's the Holidays

D.  Now it's going to be Delay due to MegaCon intake

Advising someone on their submission and pressing options, even with everything going on…

What is the current real-world TAT for ccs pressing (regular track modern)? I went back some pages, but only found TATs associated with signings. Also, how competent are they on modern books (90s)? I use other pressers, but this person is looking for a quicker turnaround.

I can't speak for the timeline, but my experience using CCS a few years back was they were every bit as good as other pressers out there.

Well, apparently, the Delay due to MegaCon intake excuse doesn't apply to some.  MegaCon was just this past weekend, right?  Check this out:

I had three MFT books graded on 1/24.  When did they ship?  Yesterday, 2/6.

I just texted customer service.  I opted to pay $5 for hi-res imaging with my Unlimited Value submission.  That adds 10 days to the turn around time.  So the "delay" is my own fault.  It's not really a delay.  I didn't notice the +10 days when I submitted.  Doh!  :facepalm:

Please don't beat yourself up.  When the Imaging Department sends you the link to download your slab images, look at the date/timestamp on the .jpg files.  And then tell me if the image was taken ten days after the grading date or if it was just a day or two.  :whistle:

My girlfriend and I bought and submitted our book to CGC here at Megacon in Orlando this weekend. It was a bigger book so I did the Unlimited Value tier. It was actually already received and now it is in G/E/I. I’m just wondering what I can expect from here on out as I never really submit at this tier so I’m just curious.

Bump/update. Still listed as Grading/Quality Control. Expecting to see shipped tomorrow but idk we’ll see. IMG_0538.thumb.png.eeb1b0797b9731250bdce3eefdd23d18.png
