I've got about 12 high grade BA books I want to submit but I'm a little worried CGC will be more discerning with high grade books My limited experience with high grade bronze submissions is tighter than the strands on a bungee cord.

It ran its course. But seriously. It had several issues that caused it to be poofed. Naming both Voldy and SB. Also at the very end it had a member Icandothisallday come in and the last thread he had was not only poofed , but he got a vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBD I WOOD agree . I think we all knew it had. It was just a when not if. Although the extra nail in the coffin was the appearance of said member I mentioned which definitely sped that up, as several that had commented myself included were all lashed out at by him and the result was a vacation.

We enjoyed it while it lasted. Just goes to show you have to cherish things in the moment because you never know how long they will last. It's an allegory of life, really.

VintageComics Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 So I've submitted quite a few invoices in the last few weeks and have had some interesting results. I had a very strict invoice a few weeks ago where I stated that the majority of books did not get the expected grades. I felt that the grading was extremely tight on this invoice. Then i had another few invoices come back exactly as expected with a small portion of books that didn't reach the desired grade but most did. I submitted one invoice with 9 books - ALL books were potential CGC 9.9 candidates (yes, you read that right) and I got 5 out of 9 possible CGC 9.9 books. Then I submitted one LONE walkthrough expecting to get a 9.4 / 9.6 - the book was a CGC 9.2 with a TON of improvements made on the book and should have graded higher than the old CGC 9.2 grade this time around - and the book came back a CGC 9.2 again. I just scratch my head and don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomcm Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Doesn't matter if it tight or loose because you'll never get your books back anyway. These turn around times are absolutely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
