 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| @MrNotSoNice In grading. @timberghost In grading. @PhantomStranger271 We haven't started April yet. @Reelgee Not back from the signing yet, but your order will be in with the April orders when it gets here. @GeekStoxx In slab. Grease pencil is not usually removed because it doesn't typically affect the grade of the book. Grease pencil that has been on a cover for a long time will usually leave a light stain. If there is a stain, it will impact the grade, which is why I usually opt to leave the grease pencil alone. Can it be removed? In some cases, yes. Should it be removed? In most cases, no. |

Thanks also for the heads up on the grease pencil... it seems I’ll have to send the book in that way for slabbing. |

| Hi @SteveRicketts, is it possible to get 1 book from my order, 20-46F07A4, expediate? Currently the order is in the grading queue but not sure if grading has started. I know you are swamped but I thought I would ask. I called customer service but I don't think he really knows. | ||

| Newbie here. So to be clear - CBCS is currently pressing books from August 2020? So anything submitted in March of 2021 is "approximately " how far from pressing? | ||

xkonk private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @DarylCC higher up in the thread (11 days ago) they said they had a couple more weeks of March to do before getting to April orders. That assumes no fast press or faster tier like a 2-Day Modern. So no, they are well past pressing August orders. If your order was received in Dallas in March it sounds like they'll be pressing it soon. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk Great answer and thank you. I submitted my order the last week of March (I think the 28th), so I was a bit confused as if my order counted as a March or an April order. I suppose it's an April order since Steve said they hadn't started April orders yet. |

| I'm glad they're updated estimated turnaround times. Modern has changed from 16 to 17 weeks. I still expect my order delivered on July 6th to be ready by mid November. https://www.cbcscomics.com/estimated-turnaround-times If I had an expensive modern I planned on selling I would definitely choose the 2 day modern option. |

| I wish there was a way to update the CBCS Canada orders from the submitted date to the received date some like my March order were only 5 or 6 weeks difference but my May one sounds like it still isn't there? More just to set expectations |

Quote:Originally Posted by Dawnstar I'm in the same boat. I signed up for both grading and pressing and since my order arrived on April 5th (102 days since then), my order should be done in December (I'm guessing.) |
