| In February of last year I submitted 694 books to Matt Edwards at the Encounter in Allentown, PA owned by my good friend Oliver Hockran. The books are now ready for pickup. My Comic Shop will be taking the books on consignment. This leaves my books and magazines submitted at the Little Giant show in Concord, NH that are still in process. |

| @drchaos I believe you and I were talking at the Little Giant show while the guys were busy witnessing Jim Steranko and Vince Colletta signings. I had the Keith Williams sketch cover and some other books to submit. I wanted to get Jim's signature on my copy of Strange Tales #159, but the line was soooo long that I said *uck it! and submitted it to be pressed and slabbed without. My books came out of pressing and went into grading yesterday. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Broker1 A year for just grading? How? Do you submit different tiers onto one submission? I know that is a reason for long TAT at CBCS and CGC. But that can be remedied by subbing each lot of tiers onto separate invoices so if a bunch of moderns are slabbed, they won’t sit around until silver age books with longer TAT subbed under economy w/out fast track are slabbed. But I think you and Corey would know that. I’m curious what your sub was; tiers, what was fast tracked etc. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Byrdibyrd It takes 6-12 months of experience with dry cleaning & pressing to do virtually anything related to grade bumps. I’ve been pressing/subbing my own books since early 2016. Haven’t had to have a “pro” press any books of mine since mid 2016. It’s not for everyone, you have to be very patient and good with your hands but damn, it’s not rocket science. |
