There has been no improvement in economy TATs at all. if you can’t grade an older book maybe you shouldn’t be professionally grading ANY books. I'm pretty sure this was brought up earlier and hopefully there will be some movement of graders from Modern to Econ to reduce turntimes, but it's a lot more challenging to grade Econs than moderns. Econs can be anything from GA to present and there are so many types of books, different papers, book construction, etc.,. that the required knowledge base is so much broader. There's a trade-off between getting it done fast and getting it done right, I guess CGC chose getting it done right over getting it done fast with respect to Econs. I'd be curious to hear what % of books CGC that receives are Moderns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect, I don't believe these guys were thinking of either of those things when they decided to take econ subs down to a trickle. And at times, stop it altogether.

LordRahl Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 On 9/21/2022 at 6:54 AM, Nic8612 said: Because older books probably make up 10% of the total books they receive. They get close to 40,000 books submitted every week, the vast majority of which are modern books. CGC has become nothing but a money printing machine based on modern garbage books, they no longer exist to serve the community in a functional way They never did. They are not here to "serve the community", they exist to make money. CGC always was and always will be a for-profit business. I'm not sure why people on this forum ever characterized them in any other way. This Econ fiasco is just CGC raising the prices without actually raising the prices. They aren't stupid, they know the OCD nature of collectors and that folks will pony up the extra $15 for FT and not have to wait a year. Don't see them changing the TAT's on Econ any time soon.

lemonman6 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Had a small submission from 10/14/21 move to shipped today (9/22). It sat at GEI for about a month though. Still have about 5-6 submissions from 10/20/21 sitting at SFG though. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollyComics Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 My books were returned from CCS because they can't remove the color touch BUT I saw the labels on the bags. Both labels show the scheduled dates that they were planning to work on my books. So, I believe all books are currently SFG with the scheduled dates! Shucks! My slow track Economy books are SFG that received on 3/18/22. My books are probably ready in February 2023 as scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully everything is facing the correct way and no chunks of plastic in the slabs. There is no way I'm doing that again. I thought the wait would be bearable since I'm not selling anything, but 1 year is just wayyy too long. Good luck everyone and hopefully you get your books back sooner than later! jokiing and MAY1979 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
