Fun ways to pass the time waiting for slabs?

[drotto]

Any suggestions? I submitted like 20 issues at NYCC, and did not have an account with CGC, so I have been informed there is no way to track them other than calling customer service. Give me fun things to do for the next 3 months!!!

practice Zen meditation because your 3 months will likely be 6.

So aggravate the snot out of them so they do my submissions faster? Hmm that may have merit!!

Well, here is what I do while waiting for my first sub to return

 

1) Second guess every grade I thought I would receive on EVERY single submitted comic,

 

2) Realize that I soon will have to come to terms with the fact that I can't grade for $#@&,

 

3) Watch videos of unboxings of graded books on youtube,

 

4) realize my favorite part of said youtube videos is hearing the excitement turn to severe disappointment when an expected 9.8 comes back as an 8.0,

 

5) realizing that this may happen to me as a tear runs down my cheek,

 

6) spend time on this board,

 

7) buy too many comics on the "forum only selling area" of said board,

 

8) realize that I totally misunderstood the turn around times and have to tell wife the books I wanted to give out as gifts this Christmas may arrive in January,

 

9) have wife think I am a fool (nothing new here).

 

 

Hope that helps.

 

 

--oh and I almost forgot, prepare my next batch of books for submission to CGC.

(1) send ebay sellers explicit instructions on how to pack and ship

 

(2) debate print runs of variants

 

(3) start some birthday threads

 

 

[comicdonna]

There was a buyer of 9.8 slabs on ebay that would include an entire page of instructions, how to ship his books.
