DWill73 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I've had two magazines in since August 2021, not that long, but noticed on the current TAT page that its an average of 255 days. Is there any reason as to why it's so much longer than a comic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning55 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Magazines are much bigger than comics. It takes longer to examine them, at least a few seconds longer, so the TAT must double. Funnybooks, DWill73, gadzukes and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revat Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I'd say brainstorm yourself from a operational and business perspective why it might be slower, and its probably a combination of those factors. - Start with magazines make a zillion times less submissions (and revenues) than comics, then go from there.

gadzukes Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I've got 2 mags in that I submitted 8-11-21. They've been in for a little over 6 months and have been in G/E/I for at least 2 months. The worst part about it is that 1 was 1974 "economy tier" and one was 1975 "modern tier". For some reason I separated the tiers instead of just paying a little extra to have them in the same tier. They were the only mags in the submission so they will be individually shipped to me when they're done. REALLY bad planning on my part. Am I gonna have to wait another 6 months? It's really deceptive when the status switches to "Grading/Encapsulation" and it just sits there for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramrodcar Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) People actually have magazines graded? I thought the only important "magazines" were early TMNT issues...
