Getting books graded 0

[Joey178]

I have 5 books I want to get graded.  I’m guessing the total value will be in the 7K range.  I’ll probably get more graded later.  I’ve never done it.  Am I better off going through a dealer or getting my own membership and doing it?

Pay for the basic membership and do it yourself. Nothing to it. Even a caveman could do it!

I just mailed in 3 today.  I mailed in a detective comics 69.  A Batman 30 and Spider-Man 129.  Probably SHOULD NOT have sent the Spider-Man 129.  I’ll do 3 or 4 more.  Then I’ll sell the bulk of my stuff. I got the mid level membership. It includes 150 credit.

And I’m not a cave man?

Good luck!

My comics just showed up as delivered.  How long does it take from delivery?   A week?   2 weeks?

probably less than two weeks at this time of year.  I would guess between 3 and 8 business days.  It varies based on the amount of books they need to process.  For example, after a big convention it might take longer because they've just received a bunch of submissions.  This is probably a fairly busy time but not ultra busy yet (like say SDCC).  But if you're really concerned you can try calling and appealing to their humanity, it might give you a bump forward in the queue (thought they'd probably wouldn't admit it for obvious reasons).

Standard will go through the process in a few weeks. Express and Walkthru 1 to 1 1/2 weeks from getting to CGC to getting back to you. EC or VT or even Modern will take a lot longer at this time.

It depends on what tier you submitted in. A standard tier is 15 business days.
