5 Books Value Tier:

-Received 3/14/19

-6/18/2019 still sitting at "Scheduled for Grading"

Moved to Shipped/Safe today. 

Also had a Modern submission from 6/13/19 (9 books total) go to Grading/Quality Control on Friday.

Edit: I got the grades on both today and the Value Tier were higher than what I expected including one that was a 9.0 that I would have graded 7.5/8.0. The Moderns were what I expected but a couple sure 9.8s from what I saw were 9.6s for some reason. Also, one book I had down as a 9.2 with obvious color breaks on the back came back a 9.6.

Happy to see movement again.

 My modern subs have been overly tight, and my Value I was either on point or low by .2/.5

With this being maybe the busiest con week of the year, I wonder if there will be any movement on invoices.

The few times I had issues with walk-thru books taking more times than usual, it meant they were really looking over the book because they felt it was conserved or restored. Don’t think that’s the case here as the book is still sitting as received. I would call (if it were me, I would have already called).

Did you write “walkthrough” on the outside of the box? Last time I subbed an express I read (after I’d shipped the box) that I was supposed to write “express” on the outside of the box so it would be opened first. Not that that excuses how slow they’ve been opening boxes lately...

Maybe a push to get things out the door before some of the staff leaves for SDCC?

You might think they would allocate more people to just getting the darn boxes opened and the contents logged in. Seems like a real stress point that it wouldn't be that hard to relieve.

I did not do that. Guess I will in the future. Will call tomorrow and see. I assume it has been opened because they processed my CC.

Funny how they get right on that.

Sent in one book in the express tier. No notation on the box, but it arrived at the p.o. this afternoon and it's logged into the site this evening as SFG. Strangely efficient processing!

Five book slow boat value submission:

received/SFG 3/18...

 

Grading/Quality Control 7/16. Literally 4 calendar months.

Value Fast Track:

SFG - 6/3

 Looks like 6 weeks may have been a little optimistic?

[Ryan.]

I've determined that my books are actually never coming back. CGC owns them now. It's their brand new service, just starting today. I pay them to receive my books and toss them into a bottomless pit known by the native peoples only as The SFG.
