NYC peeps: Midtown Comics Times Square now has CGC services ? 0

Will there be extra fees associated for dropping off at midtown? 

How many other shops/locations in nyc provide cgc services? I’ve not submitted any books yet but my stack is growing and it’d be nice to get help onsite with filling out forms.

I usually drop mine off at my LCS in Queens (Royal Collectibles), and have gone through them for a few years. I just drop them off, I think they charge like $5-7 for filling out the forms (something like that) on top of the grading and shipping cost, they send out shipments once a month at least, smooth process for me.

I wonder if it’s like they quote you CGC undiscounted fees but they get a discount... otherwise why would they do it... kind of like how interior designers get a discount on furniture and sell it to you at full price

If thats the case, I'm obviously not going to use them. I hadn't planned on using them to begin with, but its an option.  If I don't get my discount, though? noap

Getting a membership and using it enough to make it worthwhile is perhaps something not everyone would like to do.  I can easily see the “casual CGC customer” being perfectly happy for others to take care of the details.  I know people who essentially think of their LCS owner as the most knowledgeable expert they could ever know and their interface to all things having to do with comics and comic collecting.

I think CGC has the right idea to bring in a new customer base. Midtown Comics is one of the largest comic retailers.

This is essentially a Try Before You Buy scenario.  Test out CGC services for your special variant covers and see how much you can flip the slabbed comic for afterwards.  Eventually, these individuals will get their own CGC membership and submit books directly.

Cheers!
