As you wait for CGC to grade your books - How do you feel when a daily email arrives announcing another private signing? 4 4

[Ride the Tiger]

How does it make me feel?

AAAANGRYYYY

[MetalPSI]

As long as Greggy still submits books, nobody can get mad about anything. 

Also, CGC won't be going anywhere

Meh, maybe not a popular opinion but I always feel like anyone willing to spend $875 on a Jim Lee sign/sketch deserves the express treatment over me who sent in modern slow track books. I always look at is that’s part of what people are paying for in those fees. And I say that as someone who has never sent for a CGC signing event and currently has 75 books sitting somewhere at CGC. 

Get this 1st "CGC Census" shattering copy an $875 sketch

I have no interest whatsoever in autographed books—to me an autographed book is a ruined book—but I'm afraid to turn off CGC emails in case I miss something important.

Holy Moley! Just out of curiosity I went to the submission form and checked out how many of these things are scheduled. I had no idea ... not really a sig guy. No wonder the TATs are so long. CGC's ears will be ringing all day now.

A lot of these people may have approached CGC on their own, having sat out from any cons (and missing that extra income) for over a year...

I would just like my three reholder books that were delivered to Sarasota May 4th to be entered into the system.

Me too. May 7th for me. High dollar books, like Bat 1, and I have no idea the condition of the box when CGC took possession. I’m pretty done with all this

Jesus - when did this happen???  74 day turnaround for Modern Fast Track??? It's been about 6-7 months since I subbed some books and was thinking about doing so but have the turnaround times EVER been this bad for fast track??? 

[NewWorldOrder]

Now is CGC to blame or  the general public who keeps sending in their comics to get signed.  

If there is demand CGC will keep feeding them.

Them catching up is irrelevant. 

Keep the $ train going.

6–7 months for fast track? Man! I've never even used fast track, and I don't think it's ever taken me that long to get my books.

Hi Ryan - did you mean 6-7 months for regular grading, or 6-7 weeks for Fast Track?

Let me clarify - I subbed books 6 or 7 months ago and got them back in like 2-3 weeks (record time).  I haven't submitted any books since then so the 74 day TAT is insanely long compared to that (I mean)...

Hey Tom!

I subbed some books back in the fall and they came back lightning fast - like 2-3 weeks from when I mailed them.  I want to sub some more but seeing a 74 day fast track estimate makes me sad...

74 Business Days = 15 weeks... essentially 4 months 🥴

And CGC historically didn't count any day they were at a con offering onsite grading or any holidays.  Do they count days set aside for private signings or grading private signings?  Doesn't matter.

Ah good point.  Could all the private signing events have them backed up? I’m sure this estimate includes that.  Or perhaps they had a grader quit.

Agreed

If you don't like it then maybe stop sending in books or try another grading company?  Its the same problem in the card grading world right now even without the signing aspect.

We've heard your cries and now offer you another opportunity with Sam Humphries  I hope you were all clamouring for this as much as I was!
