If there is on-site at Baltimore, I will be submitting about 500 books. If there is not, then I will be submitting probably 50 books this year.

I too have been watching for a local on-site, but didnt know if on-site jumps the line or not. I think not, so I put on my big boy pants and sent them in the old fashioned way. So here I sit now, sweating it out, waiting for them to enter it into their system

Turnaround times are slow so I am not bothering. The price increase doesn't help either.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but of course if they have on site grading it would jump the line.

I'm not there yet.  My submission hasn't been opened as of today.  I am now at almost 7 weeks since my presser received the books, almost 3 weeks since CGC received them.

I suppose this is one way to deal with us whiners (good to see from the above posts I’m not alone)...

On site grading? Didn’t know there was such a critter.

I only know about on site submissions at cons. I’ve done that before. This simply provides an alternative to usps, fed ex or whatever. I would be surprised if on site submissions would get graded, reholdered, etc. in advance of the books that had been previously mailed in directly to cgc

they seemed to have it regularly at big cons, I always prayed Dallas would be deemed worthy, but with the competition based here, I'm just not so sure if it'll ever happen

seemingly only like one con has cgc attending or something like that to my knowledge, and my bigger con comes in September, it's always the waiting game

When they have on site grading it is exactly that. You drop it off during the con and they grade it before the con is over and you can pick it up.

I am in dallas too, so I guess that may partially explain my ignorance to on-site grading. Mind blown.

I just re-upped my membership to get the submission discount.  I have about 8-10 mags deserving of slabs before being sold.  If it takes the better part of a year to get them graded, so be it.  One submission a year is about the rate I've been running for awhile now, but I expect this mag submission to be my last or next to last one.

Will you get them pressed?

Will this still be the case if 

a) the price for on-site goes up

b) the grading remains inconsistent

c) the issues with QA don’t improve

d) @greggyis in Baltimore 

[FlyingDonut]

a) I assume it will be at rack - no shipping and getting my books in three days instead of eight months makes up for the cost
b) I believe - others may differ - that onsite grading is looser and has been for quite some time.
c) QA is tougher on site, in my opinion, because people scream
d) I hope @greggy is in Baltimore.

If they have grading in Baltimore I wonder if a non dealer even has a chance. That line might be 5 miles long before the peasants get in the door.

Again, this is NOT shaken comic syndrome.  This is someone in the encapsulation room not knowing what they are doing.  This is making the rounds on Facebook today. 

This is why I am not sending anything super valuable to CGC right now.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph...this kind of thing makes me worry about the 20 Moderns I have sitting in their facility.  Still not received....
