I'm most disappointed with the BC 3's. I was expecting 9.0+ on one of them and 8.0+ on the other. I should have them in hand soon and see if it looks like there was any damage I wasn't expecting.

On the bright side, that Eerie 23 in 8.5 is worth a pile of money. chevalmeow, jimjum12 and This is Who We Are 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never do, I like the surprise big kid that I am. Thanks for sharing, especially when you are disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since these were at CGC for so long they dropped off of the "my submissions" page. So you have to look them up by submission # to see what status they are. And that page shows the grade right when you go into the screen. I couldn't help but to see them. Honestly I'm glad I did. The disappointment would have been way worse pulling them out one by one. jimjum12 and The Lions Den 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't such bad grades. The Eerie 23 is awesome, and those Blazing Combat books are notoriously tough in the 9.0+ area. Especially the #4 with a white front but black back cover. How was the spine on the #4's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 I also didn't have any of them pressed. I didn't want this to take an extra 6 months. Randall Dowling and oakman29 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Who We Are Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 If anyone can clarify, If sending a book in to be pressed is that wait time separate from the grading wait time? Thanks!👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) So economy pressing is currently 217 working days and economy grading is currently 249 days. Even worse than I thought as magazines are slower than regular comics. So 466 working days. lol. You can pay more to have them done faster. Some quick googling tells me that 466 working days from today translates to November 3rd 2023 if the clock started today. That doesn't even count holidays, just weekends.
