When will CGC pulp grading start? 4 4

[supreme-comics]

I saw a video by the CGC president last month where he said CGC was planning to open pulp grading in December. Does anyone know if that is still the plan?

Thank you

I think they're just waiting on the outer holders...

Last I heard they were aiming for Dec 16?  But sometime in January’24 was likely.  I’m guessing sometime mid 2028 at this point🙄

Summer of ‘57 is best estimate.

They have been saying they would grade tall cards for 3 years. So there's that.

Sometime in July, probably on the 19th

Those shudder pulps should be challenging ... the overhang on those can be extreme. GOD BLESS ...

How do they determine if a book is high value?

Dart board!

Great, now I'll never be able to afford another pulp!

I’ll think about submitting a few low figure pulps first. I want to see how the cases look in person. I’m not totally sold on how the overhang is going to work in a slab and storage being done like a comic. So no August 1928 Amazing Stories or key Brundage covers to start.

Yah I just boxed up 4 books to ship out, see how the process goes.  I put them all in the lower price tier, but wish they were more clear on how value is determined.

I've got a few nice condition Argosy issues with Burroughs stories but not covers, I'll test the waters with those.  Anyone know off hand if they'll have on site drop off at ECCC at the end of the month?

They already grade digests, but they put the well into the giant magazine holders, which look pretty ridiculous. There's been a few posts about them in various threads in the pulp section, with consensus that they do, indeed look ridiculous in such a giant slab.
