Quote:Originally Posted by Nearmint67 You cannot submit books earlier than 1975 at the modern tier. Books within the same order within the same tier do not get separated. You choose the tier when you order, not CBCS, unless you submit something not valid for a particular tier, then they move it. So you couldn't do a book from the 1960's at the modern tier, if you tried it would get moved, but you otherwise you can submit at any tier that's valid. The important thing to remember is that tiers are based on value and age. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nearmint67 @Nearmint67 - It depends. When you submit, you have options for 1975 to present. Those being: Modern - valued under $250 Consumer - valued up to $400 2 Day Modern - valued up to $2,000 Rapid - Valued up to $4,000 1 Day Modern If you choose some from different tiers on the same submission order number, the whole submission will be based on the slowest/lowest estimated TAT. That said if one submits a 1977 Star Wars #1 that is clearly a 9.6-9.8 under "Modern" tier, (trying to circumvent the higher cost) one can expect it to be reclassified to the 2 Day Modern or 1 Day Tier. So like I referenced, unless you do not care about TAT and want to save on total shipping costs, you can mix and match tiers on one submission. Otherwise, you can place two or more submissions (based on single tiers per submission) in one package and CBCS will put each submission in its appropriate Tier queue, and the will be shipped back separately as completed. @Figment, I don't think he was asking about pre-1975, but your point is accurate since he referenced the Expanded pre-75 tier. And to all, again, you can submit pre-1975 with 1975-later tiers on the same submission, but the whole submission gets the slowest tier estimated TAT within that submission. |

| I'm always impressed when I reach the TAT slated on the website and send a friendly email to Darryl only to receive a reply that TAT is now 34 weeks instead of the 25 that was there for the past 6 weeks. As a dealer it's getting rather impossible to sell new graded books because no one wants to wait for them. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk @xkonk - Interesting point on the new graders, and you may be on to something there. On the pressing and TAT's in general, I chose the Obi-Wan Kenobi "...from a certain point of view" contemplation in that estimated TAT's continuing to increase in the face of increasing TAT's suggests that CBCS is gaining even great acceptance and respect of their quality product and services. This is ultimately a good thing for us collectors who chose to use CBCS in the first place. So I am fine with the TAT. Surprised, but fine. |

| Tynion Signing Inbox Matthew Edwards 10:49 AM (2 hours ago) to Matthew Hi I am emailing regarding books sent in for the Tynion/Simmonds Signing. Unfortunately, due to an oversight some books that were meant to be signed by both Tynion & Simmonds were missed. If you are receiving this email, one or more of your books were missed. If you had any other combination on your order, those books are signed and will be in Dallas on Tuesday. The other books will be moved to another invoice and the books will be signed at an upcoming appearance here in the States in a few weeks. I apologize for the delays and will rush have Dallas rush these books through as soon as they are signed. Thanks Matt Edwards Signature Program Manager CBCS ComicsBatman #89 [2020] DC, Modern Age x1 x1 $26.00 Department of Truth #1 [2020] Image, Modern Age x2 x1 $26.00 Something is Killing the Children #1 [2019] Boom, Modern Age x2 x1 $26.00 Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3 [2020] DC, Modern Age x1 x1 $26.00 So i'm not suppose to be pissed the f--k off right!!I'm not suppose to keep asking where my books at after 4 months plus. I'm just suppose to sit here since july for this f---king letter right!!! I ask, I joke, I waited and no one responded to my request now this.So guess now I'll be banned now for this statement,If you don't watch the pot boiled you burn the house down!!BTW this was my first time sending in books for a signing. |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics Initially the pandemic caused the Tynion, etc. signings to be pushed back. I sent in books back in July and I knew that there could be delays because of conventions being canceled, etc. I knew something was off a bit earlier last week when of the two invoices of books I sent in for the signing, one of them which was for multiple copies of the same book had arrived to CBCS and it showed the two creators had signed them and the dates they were signed. Those didn't require a pressing but are already in encapsulation I was told so they did get to them quite quickly when they arrived to Dallas. The other invoice of books didn't show anything on the dashboard but in the billing stage but not dates showing up as when they were signed. The response wasn't very clear from CBCS customer service basically they were implying the entire invoice worth of books weren't signed but it sounds like that wasn't the case. This invoice featured 16 books most of which were for Tynion & Dell'Ederra but a few for Tynion and Simmonds. It sounds like based on an email from Matt today that only the books that were for Simmonds/Tynion were not signed so in my case just two comics and would be signed when they appear for the big signing in the later part of April. I am waiting back for Matt to respond for some clarification though, just surprised it took several months to get this reported to those waiting, since technically the books were supposed to be completed by late November of last year. I am sure it will all get worked out smoothly, mistakes can and do happen from time to time. |

| @Reelgee Any issues that undermines the trust in handling books is an issue. What was the oversight? They missed a box to bring with them to the signing? They missed several boxes? They only got one signature and didn't get some back in time to send to get the second signature? It looks like an extensive list of "missed books". It's unclear whether they received no signatures or only one signature on that list. If it was that they only got one signature; now what? They send it back half-done? They hold it for months more until they can do another signing? Needs to be a lot more information in this contact e-mail. This is a massive mistake. |

| @Rio_d - If all was on the same submission, and, the ASM was different tier than the rest of the comics, that would be a prime reason for some moving and on not. I have seen that to be typical when my submission has a combination of modern, expanded, and/or consumer tiers. | ||

| @Reelgee - there is an error, they have acknowledged and alerted you of the error, and they are taking action to correct the error. Why be "pissed the F***off"? I would be pissed if they said there was an error and here are you unsigned books back. But, that’s not what they are doing, they are going through the machinations to make it right. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Scifinator While I know what you're saying is currently true, they really need to update their FAQ. This is what it states in regards to multiple tier submissions. Can I combine shipping for multiple tier submissions? Yes. Once you have filled out the CBCS submission form listing all the books you are submitting, you will be given the option to have all books submitted back to you at one time, or have the tiers sent back to you separately as they are finished. This option is listed on the shipping section of the checkout process. Please remember: If choosing this option, you negate the guaranteed turn times, as the tiers that are done first will have to wait until the tier with the longest turn around time is certified before shipping. I submitted my books under this assumption, then when I realized I was never going to get the option to split the shipment, it was too late. Then found out through the forums that it was no longer working that way. P.S. The way it's phrased kinda makes you assume that even if you have 2-days stuck with moderns, they'd still be graded in the 2-day timeframe, then sit encapsulated until the rest are graded. I don't think that's correct either. P.P.S. "guaranteed turn times". LOL |
