Turnaround times are really bad. I handed them books at the July 2021 show in Connecticut. That was the last Saturday of July. It’s now the last Saturday of March. They are still in “grading”

Yep - I'm assuming you mean Terrificon. If so, my signed Michael Rooker book is also still in grading as well

July 8 2021 submission, modern only.

after inquiring repeatably I finally got an email from customer service saying that my order will ship within 2 weeks (putting me just shy of week 40).

we'll see if that rings true

March 6th 2021 - ready for pickup in Dallas -MCS says it should be a week or 2 for them to do the pickup
April 9th 2021 - been in labels since before Christmas
May 9th 2021 - in 'ShipToCanada' for wanna say 6 weeks??

Was hopeful that the April 9th order would come back to Canada before or at least the same time as the May 9th order!!

I have no idea how I will pickup the May 9th order - I opted for in person pickup because I thought by now the CBCS Canada issues would be resolved - thankfully no more covid restrictions but now all we have is some Beckett sales rep - will he be there to manage pickups?? is Universal Distribution handling it?? borders are mostly clear now but it seems CBCS Canada is still in limbo town!

November 2021 and Feb 2022 will be presents for 2024!!!
Time to send in a few more books before price increases though - 2025 here we come!!!!

I’ve now had 3x submissions back from CGC from October/November… CBCS has lost a customer here.

I agree, decided to send to CBCS because the TAT at CGC was so long. Never could have imagined that it would take longer than CGC.

maybe if they were books for selling where I needed them back fast -but then - just pay for the different fast service levels


TATs for my PC though??? I'll take a better slab, more accurate grading, fewer general all around fu@k ups (never had any with CBCS) and convention staff who don't treat me with contempt over the CGC brand.

So really...if TATs are the be all and end all of concerns -that is easily fixed by using the quick, rapid or 1 day tiers and even slapping a fast pass/press etc on those.

@KatKomics I'm calling them on Monday to arrange the pickup of mine that were completed on Friday. Maybe they'll pick them up faster if there's more consignments ready.

i think the issue here is the lack of accurate TaTs when submitting.


They just need to change their system to show which date of subs they’re working on instead of an estimate of how many weeks it would take.

I think it’s kind of fair for people to be a little mad if they were told the TaT is 16 weeks at time of submission, but end up waiting 40 weeks.

Biggest issue I have other than the changing Tats is the responses I receive from customer service.

Just got an email from CBCS about some of the stuff we talk about which start out as follows.

"CBCS, the industry leading comic book grading, pressing and signature authentication company in the collectibles arena, launches new tiers, guarantees and services starting in April 2022.

As the company continues to grow and serve customers, the April launches and other 2022 planned releases will address customer concerns. CBCS has added new customer service, production and operations teams. The company also is addressing inventory backlogs and demands and limiting price increases to provide real value to customers."

Sounds like they are increasing prices in April. Bet that will make the TAT worse. Everytime CGC increased prices, the TAT increased because of collectors trying to get that good price before it went up.

@warlordofmars the same email said they are going to have guaranteed TAT levels. You should at least know what the TAT is for sure.

But it is only for Express, if I am reading it right.

Correct - for Express only. Which means the other TAT kinda means nothing.
Which is what many of us have said and will probably continue to say.

Just in case it's helpful: submitted 1 book May 28, 2021 for pressing and grading. Just received info that it was pressed and is in pre-grading. My dashboard reads "grading" and my invoice now reads "labels." I'm happy as long as I eventually get it back, so I was glad to see this progress (though it was made just after I sent an inquiry to customer service).

July 8 2021 submission - 6 modern - no options.
Dashboard just jumped from grading/labels to shipping/ShipToCanada.

Bottom line... ignore the dashboard.

That would be a good idea. They should send out mass email alerts about current TAT changes. This would probably alleviate the customer service issues a little bit.

Just got the email:

Your XXXXXXXXXXXX is graded and now it is time to get the comics into a CBCS case! Your tier has entered the production area of the company and will only be here a short time before it ships out!

Received Mid July 2021, grading only submission.
