Yeah, it feels like CBCS is grading pretty harsh lately.

I bit the bullet and sent in an order yesterday. X-Men 37 and 38 to continue getting the old ones in slabs, and a signed Steranko set (49, 50, 51) to likely sell.

Going to roll the dice one more time with the promotion. Sent off 6 more this morning.

Was surprised on some of the results of last submission (what grading company hasn'theard that before? LOL, I thought grading was severely strict (4.0 more like a 6.0, and 8.0 more like a 9.0)but is what it is.

Fingers crossed 🤞

I live in RI and Rhode Islanders eat chili with beans. esaravo private msg quote post Address this user
I just printed an invoice for the following 6 books that I have packaged up and will send off tomorrow. I wrote the promo code on the invoice, because it wouldn’t let me input the code online. I hope they at least reduce the cost so that members do not pay more than non-members for this promotion. That’s just stupid.

I will post when they are marked received and any progress that they make. Any guesses at grades and/or return date? They were sent in for standard grading with no pressing.

@esaravo are you grandfathered in or do they still offer memberships? I’ve considered it, but I don’t see a membership option since the new pricing rollout.

@HulkSmash - I have purchased a paid membership (Bronze) every year since probably 2015. Under my membership, the $40 tier is $36. However, every member was notified that all memberships are being eliminated after March 31st, so no one can be a member anymore. And if they do not apply the discount to my order, my paid membership “reduced” price of $36 per book will be more than the non-member price of $34 with the promo code.

@esaravo the promo was applied to my order that I sent earlier this month. I plastered it on the invoice as well. I have the paid membership too.

This!!!

CBCS charges 25 dollars to verify one signature and 30 dollars for the second,plus the years of a non-existing customer service are a couple of examples of a company that is seemingly in the dark, being run by people that have no business sense. I've been a GM for a couple of customer service oriented companies, believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

Stupid question here that I should know. Does the 15% off discount count as long as you complete the form by March 31st or do the books need to be received by CBCS by March 31st?
I have misplaced a couple books and was planning on doing a good size 9.8 pre screen.

You can fix all of those scuffs easily by using https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=polywatch+scratch+remover&crid=1JU2AGL99HY0L&sprefix=pilywatch%2Caps%2C184&ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_2_9

@BrianGreensnips When I placed my submissions, I was able to add the discount code through the website and it applied the discount immediately to my invoice. If you're able to do this then I believe you'll get discount regardless of when CBCS receives it (within reason).

If you can't add it yourself through the website and have to write it on your invoice for CBCS customer service to apply, then I believe if its post marked on March 31st or before, you'll get the discount.

Cynthia in customer service told me this morning that as long as the online submission form was filled out and books shipped (post marked) by the 31st with the promo code on the invoice (I put it on the box too), the discount will be applied.... I have 4 books left to press for a 2nd batch of 30 books to be shipped for this promo

Received two emails from CBCS about 15 minutes ago. Books have been officially received and payment was processed (with promo discount applied). Let’s see how the new and improved TATs work out.
