Why would we do that? Wouldn't that give thieves an advantage as to "what's in the box"? I wrote the code on my order form (yes, I'm old school and use their order forms) and can't CBCS write on the package the discount code? I think CBCS should let everyone know (by email or on their site) "Any submission(s) between these two dates will get the discount.
Oh, ok. Pardon my stupidity.

You did happen to prove my point as to why earlier subs haven't been marked.


Nothing to be sorry about. It's just brain storming going on here, but the answer is pretty simple in my opinion. Let CBCS right on all incoming submissions the date and if it falls between two dates you get the discount. It'll save time and any confusion.

This order was received by CBCS on May 1st. Looking forward to getting these back soon. Plan to send out about 10-12 more moderns before the March deadline for the 15% off special. Here is the email I received from them recently.

@BrianGreensnips Great news.

It seems like we're seeing more reports in the forum of folks finally getting updates/forward progress (or even receiving the books themselves) on books that CBCS has had in their possession for far too long. Let's hope that this is an indication that 1) they are making progress on lowering TATs all around and 2) they are at least trying to be more communicative with their customers.

Fingers crossed. 🤞

@GAC That's excellent. Still in QC for mine. I'm hoping they move forward a bit in the next day or so.

That label cracks me up. I'd be tempted to keep it for the comedy potential alone, though I'll admit that label errors aren't usually my thing.

@GAC I'm guessing you missed a little something. Been there.

My order was received and I'll be damned, the 15% discount was applied. Paid for pressing too, so I should see them back eventually.

Yup...definitely missed something! lol!

Pressing TATs are still insane I take it. Hopefully it won't be too too long.

Correct....I thought I checked the book (all my books) when I bought it....several years ago....clearly I did not...lol.

Notes:
12th page missing, does not affect story. INCOMPLETE. 5th page detached with tape stains on 4th, 5th & 6th page
spine stress, wear, creases & stains to cover

@GAC
That scenario sounds so familiar. Same thing happened with a Tomb of Dracula #13. I thought it was good to go and it ended up with an advertisement page missing. Banged my head on the wall a few times and moved on.

My order is still in QC and has been all week. With all that time required to QC 15 books I hope they get everything right. 🙂

Taking advantage of this, recently decided to put together a mini cross publisher bronze horror collection. Think they will all look good in CBCS slabs together as a sub category in my stash of mostly golden age.

First box of 5 books in the mail today to CBCS.

Mine should be delivered to the local Walgreen's today and I'll pick them up after work. Time permitting, I'll post pictures and comments tonight. I've already cheated and seen the received grades. 🙂

I know it's common for businesses to mark up prices before announcing black friday and other discounts, but it seems like a low blow from CBCS to mark up the grading costs shortly after this discount was announced. They seem to be making a lot of impulsive decisions rather than having a clear vision for the future.

They better be careful and not price themselves out of the market.

I just got an order of 13 books back. 9 had scratched or scuffed cases.

First time having an issue like this...

Hopefully this isn't prices going up and quality going down...
