Don't get excited, Garglesmell, you'll pee your robe.

 

I didn't realize you were into that.

Finally got my modern books subbed at HeroesCon back yesterday.

Found this in an old article (interview with Steve Borock).

 

Murph0 asks:

 

1. Do you think CGC ever get caught up to the advertised 40 business day turnaround for Economy?

 

SB: At times we have been on time. The Economy tier is the hardest tier to make money with. We get a 1.8 copy of Famous Funnies #62 with restoration and a page missing that does not affect the story. We know it is missing because we know the page count. We still need to stop what we are doing, check our database, check comics.org, or call a few dealers or collectors who might have an unrestored copy that we can check the other one against. That takes time. That is also the difference between certification and just grading, you need to know page counts, back covers, pin-up pages and other things about each individual comic. Just knowing how to grade is not going to help you open a certification service. You need experts in restoration and the knowledge about each and every era and genre. I have met so many hobbyists that have no clue about page counts and have been burned because some of their comics are not complete.

At that rate, it may no longer be a Modern by the time you get it back.

A book I had signed on 5/19 on an Economy invoice dated 5/29 just arrived at my house via UPS. So just shy of 6 full months if you go by the invoice date.

Worst part was when I subbed them, estimated turnaround time was 40 days. Would never had subbed knowing it would be 100 days
