graffix13 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I was going to check on when my Economy books were SFG, but they have long since dropped off My Submissions Status. Sometime in late September 2021 is all I can remember. I wish I would have known it was going to be close to a year, as I would never would have submitted them in the first place and saved the money.

The collecting masses have created a paradigm shift, and IMO the main focus is now on modern SS. BorderlineHoarder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the motivation but the effect is to artificially limit the number of comics available for sale. Every time I consider slabbing one of my older ASMs I just end up selling the raw copy and using the money to buy the same book slabbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarlHungus21 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Slow track Economy went into grading today. I thought I was supposed to get an email as they move through the process? Also, will my comics show up in the dashboard again when they ship to get a tracking number?

Still Only 20¢ Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Congrats! You'll only get an email when your books ship. This email will contain a pdf with tracking info. Also, the status in the dashboard will show as a hyperlink "Shipped" that will take you to the carrier website with the tracking number.

According to what's actually shipped it may end up at GEI for a minute, but its something to look forward to again. Fyi I have economy received 10/21 so you give me hope!
