Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia Y'know - I saw a Andy Griffith episode a few weeks ago where Alan Hale Jr. called Don Knotts "Li'l buddy". I had always thought that line was unique to Gilligans Island and Gilligan. The Andy Griffith episode pre-dated Gilligans Island I believe. I think I read somewhere that Alan Hale used "li'l buddy" even in real life to his friends. |

| I have tattoos on my thighs of Gilligan on one and the Skipper on the other. Skipper's looking across at Gilligan with a speech bubble that says "hey there lil buddy". Gilligan on the other thigh is looking at the Skipper with a speech bubble that says "you talkin' to me?" |

| Hey random question, not sure this is the right forum. I've been looking at my invoice and noticed different editions (Direct edition Newsstand edition, etc.) What do those mean? What are the differences? Any references/literature I can read to learn more? |

Quote:Originally Posted by PhantomStranger271 This website has a bunch of information on direct vs. newsstand: https://www.newsstand101.com/ I always thought it had to do with the existence of a UPC code on the cover, but it is a bit more involved than that. From a business perspective it seems the distributors went with the two formats because newsstand books were returnable for credit/refund if not sold and direct editions were not. I remember seeing a bunch of books in the 70's where the top half of the cover was cut off. I think that the distributor only required this small bit of the comic to be returned to prove the book went unsold. Anyway, newsstand editions generally sell for more because of lower print runs, plus they tend to get beat up more than direct editions so are harder to find in higher grades. |

| That's a good article but it focuses primarily on moderns. When you look at newsstands vs. direct editions, the rarity in high grade is flipped when one looks at the era in which direct editions were first introduced since there were so few of them. This is an article that goes more in depth on the origin and progression of direct editions. Some of them are incredibly hard to find in high grade. While this may not be appreciated now just like with modern newsstands 5+ years ago, I think that will eventually change once more people become aware of how rare they are. http://www.bipcomics.com/showcase/Direct/index.php |

Quote:Originally Posted by PhantomStranger271 Did you have pressing? If not, you should probably contact CBCS @sborock. You can DM your order information. If you did have pressing, you should be in the home stretch, but I think I've mostly heard of people with February (maybe a few March)submissions getting their back so far. |

| I've been quietly lurking these turnaround times posts, just to get some insight on when the books I've submitted will be returning to me. This Friday would be the 27th week for VSP, from the date that the books were marked "Received" by CBCS. - Mailed out May 24th, 2021 - Arrived on June 2nd, 2021 - Marked Received on July 2nd 2021 - Noticed it in Grading when clicking on the invoice number, and marked Labels on the Invoice PDF on Oct. 28, 2021 (not sure when it actually was marked to those, since I didn't check those until that date). Hopefully sometime in the very near future, I will get those books back, but not holding my breath. |

| @jtruong008 I just got my Feb 2021 order back about 3 weeks ago (pressing) - looks like VSP was quicker than a press - hopefully soon. Thing that sucks now is the graders notes haven't been released- I messaged Jesse_O a while ago but no news (maybe a delay with the holidays and all?) |

| Wow I really thought was when they received it in house and then they would back date it to the that date. So someone’s books can sit around for a month or longer before you begin to start counting the TAT? | ||

| I was going by this information from Jesse O uote: Originally Posted by Scorpion So TAT is Modern 22 Weeks, 9 books received on may 17, straight up grading. no press, no sig ver, no nothing. so am at 26 weeks, ... I just want to point out that the date on your dashboard is the date the invoice was created, not the date it was received. If you submitted at a con, TAT will start the Wednesday after the con. If the comics were shipped to CBCS, then the TAT starts the next business day after they physically are delivered to CBCS.2 months ago Post 9 • IP flag post |
