Just received the email that the five books that I submitted for the CRYSTAL CLEAR promotion (received November 30th I believe) were shipped today. So that's around 7 to 8 week TAT with holidays. Not bad at all, IMO.

@Qillabee




Unfortunately, it ended in November. I submitted 4 CGC slabs and 1 from that other company that shall not be named here.

@Qillabee I've found that the status updates aren't realllllly reflective of reality. I have an order in shipping right now that went from processing to shipping in about a week after about 4 or 5 months (most of that time would have been in the pressing lineup!)

Really depends on what service you are having done. Pressing is 12-16 weeks?? normal grading is 6??? and VSP adds about 2 weeks to whichever service you are having done. I would expect that potentially you won't get any status changes and then a whole bunch all at once!

My last order I actually had in hand but my dashboard didn't say it had shipped!

I'm hoping all is fine.... but having several submissions (27) dating back to Oct. 7th with no follow up leads me to look elsewhere

were they with pressing?

could always try Steve Paulus (Canadian CBCS rep) spaulus@cbcscomics.com or customer service, even @Jesse_O or @Darryl_H (board mods) can help sometimes.

hard to look elsewhere...CGC currently has longer wait times than CBCS

I went almost 8 months at CGC once and there was no pressing involved!!....it's hard... if they get too many books at once it's not like they can call a temp agency to have people grade and slab books. Victims of their own success...a promo works too well and now the TATs move up and up!

Would try customer service and Mr Paulus first..I was concerned about one of my subs (can't remember if it was the Oct or Nov promo) but he was able to let me know where it was in the process

My oldest sub is Oct 10 with Pressing..still no change on the dashboard but I am not concerned as I know Pressing is 12-16 weeks...they could very well be in Grading now just not showing. The books are moving through the CBCS system.

@Comicninja0215 you mean how long between a package is delivered and it gets marked as received? I had something delivered last week (don't recall which day but I think early in the week) that hasn't been acknowledged yet.

Got an email about an order moving out of grading and into slabs. It was received October 19 (part of the pressing promo), in pressing on the 11th, and in grading on the 27th. It's a quickstream book and some expanded with fast pass (no fast press).

I know I should know this and I'm reasonably sure I know the answer, but I'll ask to 100% confirm:

If the current turnaround on a Modern is 8 weeks; and Pressing is 14 weeks, then if I have a Modern that is scheduled for both pressing & grading it's 8 + 14 (22) weeks?
Or does the "Pressing turnaround" take into account the grading of 8 weeks? (In other words 6 weeks for pressing and 8 weeks for grading)?

Note: No fast press or any other specials are involved with my question

Just an update for our viewers at home... Books marked as Delivered on 1/25/2021 by USPS were officially marked as Received today 2/3/2021 and are now in processing. ;-)

I have books that were according to the USPS delivered 1/28 so hoping they show up as received soon. Also does anyone know if those old Stan Lee signed books with the sticker on them will get down graded for having the sticker put on the book? Fast Pass and Fast Press with signature authentication so who knows on TAT.

@Frostycoldice - Unfortunately, a sticker will count as a defect and negatively effect the grade of the book. The only exception I can think about would be if every one of the books printed had that sticker attached, so it would be considered the "norm" for that issue.
