Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
For those coming to this thread for actual information which may give you an idea of Grade only and Press & Grade TATs, with a couple of VSP thrown in, below is a detail of my 32 Non-Express Tier submissions from June 2021 through August of 2022.

Got email on my Magazine "Test Dummy" submission, in "Bold" below.

CR = Comic ReHolder
EX = Expanded (now Vintage)
CN = Consumer (now Vintage Plus)
MD = Modern
NW = New
VN = Vintage
VT = Vintage Plus
PM = Premium

Some quick factoids on mid-2021 submissions:

33 Separate submissions
- 28 Press & Grade Submissions
- 1 VSP, Press & Grade Submission
- 4 Grade only Submissions

The longest TAT of my grade only was <51 wks or 244 Business days.
The longest TAT for combined Press & Grade was only 71 1/2 wks or 343 Business days.
The Shortest TAT for combined Press & Grade was 44 wks or 213 Busisness days.
The funny thing is, that both the longest and shortest TATs came from submissions that were delivered to CBCS on the same day on June 8th. [/b]

Delivered to CBCS on June 8th 2021 in two separate boxes. (All standard, w/out any FAST P's and one with VSP added).

5 of the 11 had press completed within 43wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in 44wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in 45wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in 49wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in <50wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in <52wks.
1 of the 11 likely had press completed in ~52wks

Delivered to CBCS 11/15/2021 (Yes, 2021. This is a submission of 66 Magazines that were sent to Joe at @CFP_Comics for Pressing and he was going to re-forward to cgc for grading. After a conversation with Steve Borock, I decided to have CFP send to CBCS as it I was not in a hurry to have them back and 5 1/2 dozen would be a good batch to run through and get iron out the process of Magazine encasement. "Test Dummies" is how I referred to them. Thank you again Joe for your agreeing to alter the forwarding after you completed your Pressing services. Well, there has been movement at CBCS this past week.)

#-----D0D2-MAG - 66 magazines VSP and Grade only - In Grading 2/26, 2/16 Reverted to Received, 2/10 in ImagingSP (Probably for VSP), 2/10/23 Official Received email from CBCS.

I will continue to update until completed.

@Scifinator So, do have experience writing encyclopedia's?
I think you would do a great job. Very detail oriented and great time lines.

Looking forward to seeing those magazines they have had for many moons now...

Got an email from CS back yesterday finally. They apologized for the delay. Said they were looking for the submission so they could send it back to me (which leads me to believe it really was going to be 2.5 years from submission, I think it was a really weird quirk of the way it was done because I've never had any other submission take more than 10-11 months). So they asked me to give them to the end of the week to get back to me.

I guess since I didn't want to spend more money they decided not to talk to me anymore, they've gone completely radio silent, not a single answer to any email since.

After a conversation with Steve Borock, I decided to have CFP send to CBCS as I was not in a hurry to have them back and 5 1/2 dozen would be a good batch for CBCS to run through and iron out the process of Magazine encasement. "Test Dummies" is how I referred to them. Thank you again Joe for your agreeing to alter the forwarding after you completed your Pressing services. Well, there has been movement at CBCS this past week.)

Mine have been in shipping 2 weeks. They were in billing (after I'd paid and the order was completed) for about a month before that. Those used to be the steps that would get wrapped up in a day or two...

Two vintage orders received the same day.

The first was completed in 8 calendar days.
The second has been in Billing for 8 calendar days even though the order was paid on the first day.

A separate order for reholder, and three other previous orders have been stuck in Heat Seal for nearly two weeks.

For those coming to this thread for actual information which may give you an idea of Grade only and Press & Grade TATs, with a couple of VSP thrown in, below is a detail of my 32 Non-Express Tier submissions from June 2021 through January 2023.

Did my daily Print Invoice check and saw some more movement in August 2022 submission, in "Bold" below.

CR = Comic ReHolder
EX = Expanded (now Vintage)
CN = Consumer (now Vintage Plus)
MD = Modern
NW = New
VN = Vintage
VT = Vintage Plus
PM = Premium

Some quick factoids on mid-2021 submissions:

33 Separate submissions
- 28 Press & Grade Submissions
- 1 VSP, Press & Grade Submission
- 4 Grade only Submissions

The longest TAT of my grade only was <51 wks or 244 Business days.
The longest TAT for combined Press & Grade was only 71 1/2 wks or 343 Business days.
The Shortest TAT for combined Press & Grade was 44 wks or 213 Busisness days.
The funny thing is, that both the longest and shortest TATs came from submissions that were delivered to CBCS on the same day on June 8th. [/b]

Delivered to CBCS on June 8th 2021 in two separate boxes. (All standard, w/out any FAST P's and one with VSP added).

5 of the 11 had press completed within 43wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in 44wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in 45wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in 49wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in <50wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in <52wks.
1 of the 11 likely had press completed in ~52wks

mine was ready for heatseal after "hit grading room" email the next day. either they were super fast, or they forgot to email me the "hit grading room" update till right as they finished grading.

shipped. grades have 1 good surprise, 1 bad surprise and 1 was estimated as.

amazing spider-man #365- 9.2. Ebaymafia had given it to me. He assumed 9.2. so no surprise

Saban's Go Go Power Rangers #8 9.8 (was a little surprised. good surprise. though my last comic treated the same got a 9.0. so I took good care of it.)

Amazing spider-man #4 8.0 Biggest surprise. I knew with the digital sticker removed could be a low grade. conditions described looking back. not surprise. i had kept it in a box. for a while. when I saw value increase took it out. probably that caused the damage. But Im fine. Nothing I can do.

I just had a comic that has been in pressing, now go back to just received. could that (hopefully) just be a clerical error? They got it almost a month before another I sent to them, and the second one has went thru grading and is in "heat seal"

When a book has completed Pressing, but not yet entered Grading, you'll see the status go back to just Received. This is normal and is how you can tell that pressing is complete.

Books I handed to CBCS at Wondercon 2022 moved to Shipping yesterday. Just a couple of weeks shy of one year.
To be 100% fair, when I handed my books over at the show I asked what the turn around time would be and they gave me an honest answer. Nobody misrepresented the time to me ever. It was pretty spot on.

@consumetheliving I see it after you enter a book. When you're on the page with your list of books to submit, at the top there are dropdowns for speed (standard/priority/express) and pressing (none/regular/express).

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
For those coming to this thread for actual information which may give you an idea of Grade only and Press & Grade TATs, with a couple of VSP thrown in, below is a detail of my 32 Non-Express Tier submissions from June 2021 through January 2023.

Received email notification on a grade only submission, in "Bold" below plus, updating on another submission with change from last week.

CR = Comic ReHolder
EX = Expanded (now Vintage)
CN = Consumer (now Vintage Plus)
MD = Modern
NW = New
VN = Vintage
VT = Vintage Plus
PM = Premium

Some quick factoids on mid-2021 submissions:

33 Separate submissions
- 28 Press & Grade Submissions
- 1 VSP, Press & Grade Submission
- 4 Grade only Submissions

The longest TAT of my grade only was <51 wks or 244 Business days.
The longest TAT for combined Press & Grade was only 71 1/2 wks or 343 Business days.
The Shortest TAT for combined Press & Grade was 44 wks or 213 Busisness days.
The funny thing is, that both the longest and shortest TATs came from submissions that were delivered to CBCS on the same day on June 8th. [/b]

Delivered to CBCS on June 8th 2021 in two separate boxes. (All standard, w/out any FAST P's and one with VSP added).

5 of the 11 had press completed within 43wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in 44wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in 45wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in 49wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in <50wks,
1 of the 11 had press completed in <52wks.
1 of the 11 likely had press completed in ~52wks

Delivered to CBCS 11/15/2021 (Yes, 2021. This is a submission of 66 Magazines that were sent to Joe at CFP Comics for Pressing and he was going to re-forward to cgc for grading. After a conversation with Steve Borock, I decided to have CFP send to CBCS as I was not in a hurry to have them back and 5 1/2 dozen would be a good batch for CBCS to run through and iron out the process of Magazine encasement. "Test Dummies" is how I referred to them. Thank you again Joe for your agreeing to alter the forwarding after you completed your Pressing services. Well, there has been movement at CBCS this past week.)
