I checked yesterday and one set of 25 books from my last submission has changed from the status "Schdeuled for Grading" to "Grading/Incapsulation/Imaging". Any guess as to how long the Grading/Incapsulation/Imaging process takes?

To some extent depends on the tier probably

It depends the tier. My submissions have taken 1-2 weeks to change to the next status.

Thanks! This is my first time submitting books for grading. I have 65 books in queue right now, that were sent back in May. All but one are modern. I figure on volume alone, I am going to be waiting.

My last submission finally did that as well after a few months. After a few days, it changed to Grading/Quality Control. I'm not sure what the difference is.

Magazine submission has been in "Grading/Incapsulation/Imaging" limbo for two weeks.... Yes, tiers do matter. No love for magazines.

No love for magazines AT ALL  :(

Just to follow up - my submission shipped today - so it seems once you get to the Grading/Incapsulation/Imaging status - you are getting close! Hang in there!

I wonder, will they ship the 25 books when completed or wait until all 65 books in my order done?

Value - went to Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging as soon as they created the category around 7/8, still there.

Magazine Modern - went to Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging also when created on or about 7/8, still there.

12 days at least.  So, for me, Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging is just another parking lot.

CGC largest box holds 25 slabs so if 25 are graded/ QC they will probably ship.

Keep in mind they have to change their setup when they encapsulate magazines, that's why it takes longer. This was explained to me a long time ago and creates an issues, as the magazine blanks are different in size and they wait to do a bunch of magazines at a time..

Great information and insight - thanks. Also something that could easily be remedied with Blackstone money.
