Collector PhantomStranger271 private msg quote post Address this user
It's been a month since I've asked last. Figured I might as well ask again. Should be pressed soon since it's an April order.

My order is:

21-11F72CB

Hope everyone at CBCS has a good day.

@SteveRicketts Really?! Excellent. Thanks for letting me know Steve.

So now they just move to grading/slabbing right? When I sent my order I believe grading/slabbing takes 4-6 weeks? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm just gonna assume it will be longer than that. Thanks

@PhantomStranger271 I think (but could be wrong) that your grading TAT is the TAT when they get out of pressing. Or maybe a mix between what it was when you sent it and what it is when they get out. But either way if your order is 'regular' speed then it's going to be well over 4-6 weeks.

@PhantomStranger271 Standard tier turnaround time has never been 4 to 6 weeks. 10 to 12 is the lowest it ever got. It will be a while before your order gets completed in grading.

to be fair @SteveRicketts, the pricing page has always said 4-6 weeks (and has never been corrected despite experienced folks knowing it's wrong), and there have been a couple of shining moments over the past few years where TATs were around 6 weeks.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting 4-6 weeks, but as a first timer, when I sent my order, I totally thought it was.

That needs to be changed/updated.

Dumb newb question, but if that's the case, i.e. pointedly using the word "never", then why is that verbiage on the site?

Honesty and accuracy would both be served better if it just said "10-12 weeks" and be done with it. Expectations would be set, and people would be delighted and surprised when an order TAT was less than that. Like Scotty in the Enterprise ...

Also, I'd like to point out that my order (which did not include pressing) was done VERY fast and well within the stated time limit. EARLIER than stated, I might add. And a great packing job, I must say.

Also a newb here and to CBCS...if I read that correctly, the current time that is stated on the main page is 17 weeks for modern and 19 weeks for pressing modern, so 36 total if having a Modern book pressed and graded?

I wonder if it would work if the Homepage just said something like "see Forum for current TAT's". That way no one has to make the effort to change information on the website, it just changes here on the forum organically?

Not many folks want to go hunting for info. It "should" require little work to find such important information..

So I have to wait an additional 10-12 weeks for them to be graded, at least? Are grading orders behind? I'm assuming they are.

@PhantomStranger271 read the turnaround thread, if you dare. People are just now getting press+grading orders back from January.

@xkonk I read like the last 10-15 pages about a week ago. I just think there is some community confusion in general, not just among the newbies/1st time orderers. Not complaining. Just trying to learn and be better/buy better next time.

Thanks by the way.

@dfoster43 @PhantomStranger271 @xkonk - I think there is a slight confusion/misunderstanding - when @stevericketts mentioned TAT was never at 4-6 weeks he was speaking to the pressing TAT (this Thread) while the OP was referring to the standard TAT for grading.

@Scifinator could be, but like you said the OP was asking about grading.
