I really don't know.  I called maybe 3 weeks ago and they told me it would be 2 to 3 more months.   

I didn't complain,  I was very polite and I told them it was disappointing, but I've waited this long already.... then yesterday, boom. It showed up. 

Maybe I was rewarded for being polite? Or maybe it's all just random at this point? 

 

I was very polite and patient.

yeah, this is weird..... mine are 8/11/21 and still not shipped (they are at GEI though)

I believe those invoices are randomized.

One issue Standard sub with custom label, rec’d 6/2, shipped 6/24. So by the time it’s in my hands again, about 30-ish days total out and back. 

About 1/3 longer than my previous two standard subs, but still pretty fast, all things considered.

My 8/11/21 Slow-Economy sub showed up as "Shipped" this morning.

I sent this submission in to CGC 390 days ago for grading.  Wow, that's a loooooong time to wait.

Unless they improve the Econ TAT I will never submit for Econ again.

That’s crazy.  
 

Have the books gone up in value over the past year? (Looking for a silver lining:wishluck:)

I have not submitted in economy tier in approximately four years, and based on what you and many others have noted as the wait times the next economy tier I submit in 2022 will be for comic books to be published in 2024, which I will promptly provide to CGC upon their release.

Hopefully, by "submitting" ahead of release, the comic books will be "promptly" graded and returned to me. :blush:

Boom!

Modern pre-screen arrived and went into SFG on May 19th, and hit G/E/I at the end of the day today.

I've been super impressed with how fast the pre-screens have moved through over the past few months. 

25 modern pre screen slow track:

SFG May 19th

G/E/I June 22

QC this morning, June 25

Super fast! Dont have the grades listed yet, but based on the bill total it looks like I did very well with this pre screen.

Economy (Pre - 1975)

$35
Fast Track: +$15

 227 days
Fast Track: 20 days
 
 
This seemingly going-out-of-business deal or sale is working for new submissions--but its pushing mine (and others) back more and more from 9 months ago--even 3 months ago. Apparently this is an intended consequence.  I should note I could have been a father....I could have conceived after the submission and had the baby in the crib (and started another) before one grade is given.

CGC option giver - "We could make the FT turnaround times 1/10th of ST, but that'd be screwing over a lot of our customers."

CGC decision maker - "To heck with those losers. If they don't pay for FT, they mean nothing to us."

Just got back from my LCS, owner said he was talking to someone who works at CGC and they said if you've got books to submit, to get them in before the 4th cause prices are increasing again.  Don't know how true it is but that's what I was told :whatev:

 The price increase for CSG and CGC TC goes into effect on the 5th. Nothing for comics that I have heard.

I'm got back a box that is still showing up in G/E/I in the software, and I have other boxes that have been in G/E/I for two weeks. Then there were some boxes that came out of scheduled for grading and went all the way through in a day. All May submissions. There really is no cadence. I can't complain though, my last submission came back in 20 days and the grades were at 90% of what I expected, and my last 4 pre-screen submissions only had two rejections total, so it seems to be back on track somewhat in the modern tier to pre-pandemic levels in fast track/pre-screen.

If they're still at GEI in "cgc's system", I wonder if they were finalized, and or, still added to the census or registry? @CGC Mike

ARE YOU SAYING they're at home with you, but still show GEI under tracking?

This happened to me as well. Books were marked as shipped and then switched back to G/E/I a few hours later. After receiving the books, I contacted CGC and they were able to update the notification and add the books to the census/registry.

At home, with me, for two weeks now. I don't open my boxes straight away. Actually, I don't open my boxes at all, my daughter does. She caught it. It threw her for a loop. I get a few boxes at a time, 3-4.

25/25 hit the 9.6 pre-screen with about 80% or so at 9.8, so very happy with the results.

Everything is done and marked for shipping on June 28th.
