| Quantity wise, what do your submissions look like this year vs 2020 or 2019? There's a big surge going on, and I'm guessing that many of us are playing our part in it. I heard slabbing services were going to become more rare than toilet paper so I sent a bunch of books in April and May. I'll try to add up the numbers by year when I get a chance. | ||

| 152 this year, but I am done. The turn around has been horrid. I will wait on sending anything else in until things improve. I did about half that last year. |

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

| All of my submissions have been through CBCS July 2018: 7/10 slabbed after pre-screen - 1st time submitting to a grading company December 2019: 18/23 slabbed after pre-screen March 2020: 9 book submission through a 3rd party presser July 2020: 85/113 book submission pre-screen (I still own most of these, not the best investment decision, at least not short-term) November 2020: 12 book submission through a 3rd party presser July 2021: 80 book submission 9.8 pre-screen Thinking about how many slabs I've purchased in addition to these is a bit terrifying. I don't even want to know that number. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Supermole This is pretty similar with my situation and thoughts. Probably 200 books this year, less than 100 last year. Right now I will only be sending in stuff that is valuable enough to pay for fast track. |

Last year was the first time I submitted and it took almost a year for me to get my books back. Due to the cost of grading I am holding off submitting until I have a good chunk of change. My next order will probably be even more expensive. |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics @KatKomics Is that because you plan to use the more premium priced faster services? I feel like the prices on regular submissions are fair enough that a 5% or 10% discount won't change my motivation level. A small discount may have motivated me at 6 week TAT's. But now at 18 weeks that little bit of savings has become kind of irrelevant to me. I just want them to move faster! |

| I am such an amateur!! I just sent my 1st 2 for slabbing ever and that's about all I could afford! Still waiting to get them back....I'd love a 9.8 on my first try! It's exciting and nerve racking waiting on my first submission! Lol | ||

| @Cody That's a great group of books. That was a lot of value to have sitting around unslabbed. | ||

| I submitted just 14 books in 2019 209 books in 2020 311 books so far in 2021 with another 100+ bundle just being added to the system. It's no wonder that turnaround times are slowing down as everyone ramps up their grading requirements and people migrate from the dark side. I'm only submitting fairly smalls subs for a dealer so I can only imaging the size of some of the bundles being submitted! |

| 2019 - 0 2020 - 25 2021 - 125 (but I'm done for now) Some years I submit none. One year I subbed 800. Just depends on how busy I am elsewhere and what comics I acquire. I began the year by picking up a 1000+ book silver age collection which has kept me busy. Mostly mid to low grade, but most of this year's subs have been from that lot. |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia sadly no...it's because I'm a cheap SOB!! The best time to slab (if you plan on selling) is before the book hits yes? Most of what I want to slab are for my PC with doubles going for sale. The ones for sale are not really 'hot' books but will hold their value - maybe grade and see if something happens to make them spike! like Swamp Thing 37x2, Aplha Flight 1x3(or4?), Heir to the Empire 1x3(need to get this graded before season 2 of Madalorian??) - just other random stuff...with 9k books there is much, much more I want to get rid of than keep! Was actually just telling my son last night that I've never bought/had a new bike! always from yard sales or put together from pieces I scavenged/saved from the trash or even police auctions! being a cheap SOB just comes naturally!!! |

| 2020 was the first time I submitted any books for grading. I sent in 2, one for CGC and one for CBCS to try out both companies. This year I've submitted 44 books so far between both companies again. | ||

| Can't believe it. Just counted them. About 200 this year of which 150 are still not done. Getting another 40 ready. last year about 25. I'm not a dealer so time doesn't matter too much but it's still frustrating to have to wait so long. As soon as I get them they're off to CL or MCS. Moved about 50. They pay for the next subs. | ||

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

| According to my order history page: 18 at the very end of 2016, which was my first order. 25 in 2017 34 in 2018 94 in 2019 39 so far in 2020. I highly doubt I'll get into the 90s again. I don't know how I managed that. |

| 93 to CBCS in 2020. 38 to CBCS in 2021 so far. 10 to CGC. I didn't count the reholders that were sent to both. I'm sure I'll send more down. Going with CFP Pancakes to keep the batter costs down a bit. I was sending everything to CBCS Pancakes. I tend to just fire and forget when I send orders down. |

 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

| 2021 = 1,196 2020 = 100 2019 = 2,900 2019 were predominantly my original owner purchases from the late 70's to the mid 90's 2020 were predominantly CBCS re-holders and cgc crack to CBCS 2021 are some miscellaneous that I had not previously submitted in 2019 along with fill ins to complete runs. To date I have upgraded about 100 cgc slabs to CBCS Encasements. Those that I haven't upgraded I am just not confident that the cgc grade would hold. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC Sort of, and it makes '2019' make much more sense. 2019 was actually 35 books, 2020 the other 59 I put under 2019, and 39 so far in 2021. To be fair to myself, I've been continually having a hard time realizing that 2020 happened and is over. |
