I just wish we got the grades uploaded online once grading is done instead of after shipping. I know what my books look like, so there is no rush to see them encapsulated, but what I really want to know are my grades.

Grades don't show until they have physically shipped out.

Heya.

They should physically ship out late this week or early next and you should get the shipped email the morning after they ship. Your grades will show up on your dashboard at this time, too.

To see the status change you actually have to navigate into the order to see the official status. If you look at your dashboard it will only state "processing". If you don't get any emails check your spam/ junk box to make sure they are not being filtered out.

@Darkga that's how I feel, can't wait to see what it graded at. If it's not a 9.8 or 9.6 then they must be like super impossibly strict. Amazing Spiderman 300

They are pretty strict, so don't get your hopes up. I just got two 9.6's and two 9.4's today on books I thought would be 9.8's.

Strict is a good thing, otherwise they'd be handing out 10's like Halloween candy the way PGX does.

I got the e-mail on September 2. Friday. Monday was Labor day. Also because of the storm.. eh..

I am headed out of town from Phoenix to Portland for Comicon on Thursday night so I won't be around when they probably arrive.

No offense, but could it be they're pretty accurate?

Have to agree, but you gotta admit, when you do get that 9.8 or better that attention to every little detail makes you appreciate that book all the more. My first two submissions I had pegged, I'm talking "I KNOW THESE ARE 9.6 at worst" came back at 9.2 and 9.4. Looking at the notes I was amazed I missed the defects. More often then not, at least in my case, people don't scrutinize the backs as much as the sides and front of books. Second time around I got back 5 or 6 9.8s and I was doing cartwheels haha. Good luck to you both!

It's both a blessing a curse. I don't mind strict grading for books I'm going to keep, but if CGC grades less strictly that means I'm leaving money on the table for books that I want to sell. There is a big price difference on a 9.8 vs a 9.6 for most books.

@Darkga @leesoul21 have you guys watched "eta nick" and his grading videos on YouTube? It's a series of like 35 videos on grading.

I'll pay as much or more for cbcs 9.6 vs cgc 9.8. I respect the strict grading of cbcs in the market. BTW I just got 3 Goldkey #1's back in 9.8, and a whole bunch more Goldkey #1's back in 9.6 and 9.4, whoop whhop. Me be happy

Let's hope they're not gift grading just to seduce CBCS slabbers to their side.
For me it's another reason to buy the book instead of the label. The 'big difference' you refer to is even bigger if that 9.8 is really a softly graded 9.4/9.6

@therandyrobbins Oh yeah! Nice suggestion . I actually watched those several months back. I've learned a lot more about grading since those first submissions way back when. I think several others have already made a good point though, if we as collectors or sellers are constantly chasing 9.8 or better we're in for a lot of disappointments from time to time. @Darkga The price point shift from a 9.6 to a 9.8 is ridiculous sometimes right?

That's the biggest change I've had to adapt to since coming back to the hobby after a long break. It used to be that near mint was just near mint, none of this 9.8, 9.6, 9.4, 9.2, 9.0. If the difference was just 10% or something like that I could understand, but 50% drops in value between a 9.6 and 9.8 is crazy!
