I can only imagine 

More of the same just seems or seemed so fruitless at first, you've got coghones 

Everybody has different reasons for grading and their expectation on return time for sure. Of course I'd like to have them back as soon as possible such as previous times, but I'm not relying on it to make money right now or immediately. However, for those who want to or need to make money from their graded comics it can be pretty painful. Some will go into my PC and then a majority of these I sell, so I just kind of plan it out accordingly based on what's going on with the market and the current lag.

Though I am hoping I'll have some back by Christmas to have a little bit of extra money for presents! 🎅😁

Well, just sent in 72 (separate boxes) Monday. Already have over 120 at different stages, so that's it for big submissions for now. Maybe another 25-50ish prior to the end of the year. I'm in no rush though.

I only have 20 books submitted.  I’ll have to wait because of YOU!!!!

Funny I was in the card forum yesterday I think and the discussion was how many cards people have submitted for grading. I only started submitting cards this year and don't plan on doing anymore, so I have 105 which I thought was a lot. There are people who literally have thousands...and I'm not even sure most of what some are grading are worth anything. But, people have their own interest and reasons!

I'll let my people know they can bump me and put you ahead of me no problem...🙂👍I'm really in no hurry.

I’ve got cards that are supposed to be hot right now.  I’m not getting anywhere near graded cards.

I’m fairly new here, so, yeah, what do I really know. But I’m not doing this again any time soon. Which would be unfortunate, because unlike much of the submitted junk that appears to be gumming up the works, the books I sent in are actual collectibles with value. Not marginal moderns from feebay ninjas looking to slap some plastic bling on their wares and flip them.

I’m surprised this post went unnoticed 

@Buzzetta, what are your thoughts

It's insane. Most of the ones I sent were 90's early editions that I never opened till the Damndemic...

I did get a retro bug in me for a bit though doing that and picked up some happy meals and cards for a week (25th Anniversary) and buy a couple cereal boxes when I get groceries if they have any, though that's fizzling now. Just gonna put those away for my kiddos.

Sticking to comics now that I got that out of my system. 😂

There's a few people that have them but maybe because they have special permission, I don't know.
