It's clear at this point that CGC gives zero fuggs about turnaround times because they know we need our slab fix. Courageous Cat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRWCUPA Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Seems ask CGC gets you a partial answer and then just a bunch of opinions... no wonder we are all frustrated. Who wants to start a comic grading company? Courageous Cat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cklamer Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) I have noticed that about every other week the lead times for each tier keeps going up and getting pushed out more. Originally sent in one order and it has been sitting there for a while and when it was sent the lead time was 56 days, then 64 days, then 79 days, then 89 days and now it is up to 96 days. So going by working days you are looking at 5 months to get books back. Sent in an Express book last week and when it arrived it was 11 days and it is now 15 days. So every time you turn around the numbers just keep going up. So it is almost half a year to get books graded. So if you are also getting CCS then you are looking at almost 8 to 10 months if not longer to get books back.

Appleseed1967 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 It seems ridiculous that if you have to submit something under the Standard tier, that you are paying twice as much as a Modern + Fast Track ($75 vs. $37) and the turnaround time as of today is almost the same (74 days vs. 79 days).

No, it was a post-1975 book that exceeded the value under the Modern tier, so it had to go Standard. I understand that CGC expects you to pay more for grading on higher value books, but on the Express and Walkthrough tiers, the turnaround times are substantially less. For Standard, it's about the same as Modern + Fast Track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time it was opened and checked in the times had shot up into the 60's. I'm still waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Eaton Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hopefully the glut of books since late April (trying to beat the cost increase,) will slow down after the deadline Monday, June 28 and we may see turnaround times start to drop. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
