How are they going to figure out fees? Sales on a lot of pulps are non existsnt. 

Great point. Or a database... or a grader... or a supplier for the multitude of cases/inner wells? I'm interested to see how this all unfolds.

Well, they're on the hook for 2022, given all the announcements. Let's see if they can get it across the finish line by new years eve?...

Matt has "confirmed" that it will happen via numerous channels..fingers crossed

I understand that there is a grading company across the street that grades over-sized items and verifies them in a sealed bag & board (sticker sealed.)  This could be useful with pulps as they range in numerous sizes and thickness.

And Matt confirmed again at Comic Con - though maybe not by year end - plastic molds and supply chain stuff

when I asked how would they do a page count with overhang curled around the edges, he said - "carefully"    lol

and that's why Everybody Loves Matt!

In case you missed it in the NYCC report from Squegss in Golden Age forum:

"While in the Metro booth, [..] I had a long chat with Matt Nelson. (Clogging up a dealer's booth while buying absolutely nothing, is always fun! :insane:)

He said that pulp grading is almost ready to roll using new slabs that will deal with the problem of cover overhang so prevlent with pulps. The same scale will be used as in grading comics although the grading criteria will be different. (Btw, well worthwhile to pick up a copy of Matt's new CGC grading guide.) Current plan is to give trimmed books a blue label with a label note. They hope to start accepting submissions some time next year."

The information posted here regarding the current stage of our development for pulp certification is incorrect. While we don’t have a firm date established for the pulp launch, it will be in 2022, and hopefully sooner than later.

So they won't be grading pulps this year... correct?

If CGC keeps the raised ridge on their pulps slabs, they are going to be an inch thick. When you factor in containers, you'll probably need about 10 sq. feet of storage for every 100 slabs. Something to think about.

You can probably make a guesstimate based on this... I can generally get approx. 200 bagged and boarded SA comics in a long box (actually a bit less since I use the heavy backer boards).  Similarly bagged and boarded, I get about 50 pulps in a long box.  Pulps vary a lot more in thickness... but this is a reasonable average.

One of the big reasons why I have been very selective in my pulp collecting. Considering I primarily collect for covers. That is a lot of space needed that I no longer have. That, and the rising prices (and the surge coming once they become graded widgets), and it is a lot easier for me to drastically curb my pulp buying.

Yes. And while I don't have a relatively small collection of them, there are probably only 12 to 15 of them I'd want to get slabbed and the rest will remain raw

Since I buy them mostly for the covers, I would have no problem slabbing a few of my better ones. I might do a few as well. (thumbsu
