I really hope these keep their grades. Haven't had much luck with my other banana books so far.

Yeah, disappointed and frustrated again thanks to banana-gate.

One book kept its 9.8, which is a relief. Other is a 9.6. I will be selling all the 9.6 books and going back on my insane, obsessive quest. Not CBCS's fault whatsoever, of course.

And super props to their turnaround. I know they're slammed but, so far, all my prior submissions have been processed within their advertised TATs.

Half is better than none. 👍

It's hard to swear off the cgc. They're deeply ingrained in comic book collecting. It's too bad they've turned to shit.

Plus, it's sad that OCD won't let us keep books that can be 9.8s one day, 9.6s the next, and then possibly 9.8s again somewhere down the line. It's still the same book, regardless of the label. I do the same thing, though.

@DrWatson Right?! It's such a fine line between 9.8 and 9.6 -- and it's not like 9.6 isn't a near mint book, but for some reason, my OCD is huge on this.

I don't believe this....and I know you don't care that I don't believe this. GAC private msg quote post Address this user
@lawguy1977 @DrWatson I completely get that OCD thing but I'm happy I don't have that. I'm perfectly happy with well presenting 8.0 to 9.6 books....now, this being said...both of your collections are/will be out of this world when finished.

It's just like my Uncanny X-Men 164. Would the book have looked worse if it were in a 9.6 holder? No.

It's still the same awesome book, but for some reason, I don't know, a 9.8 label makes it more awesomer.

I guess I have a tortured mind and sometimes I hate myself for it, lol.

I think part of it is knowing that if the cgc weren't a bunch of knobs, we wouldn't be having all these issues that are currently doing our heads in.

So is pressing around 60 days right now (vs the 20 on the website)? I'll be pushing 50 days this week for a modern press of just a couple of books.

I don't even check anymore. I just float along blissfully unaware until I get an email notification that something has happened.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
Received: 12-10
VSP: Unknown, assuming it occurred before grading
Pressing: 12-12
Grading (20 business day priority tier) : 2-26
Blind Box Opening: TBD

Seems like CBCS's turnaround estimates are accurate.

@flanders agreed, even with the holiday rush, all of my orders have been very close to their posted TATs. Got my holiday promo order and one other pending right now. The non-holiday promo submission (which was submitted because of my presser's black friday promo) is as follows:

Received 1/8/25
Grading 2/12/25
Labels/HeatSeal 2/24/25
Shipped 2/27/25

34 Business days, which I'd say is close enough considering the promos they ran last Fall and Winter.

Somehow my book has gone from grading on 2-26 to shipped on 2-27. This is my most nerve racking submission yet but I'm still going to try to avoid looking at the grade online.

I now have plans for Monday.

@flanders my latest submission might be the first time I won't look at the grades. I would like to be surprised by these since they're big key books. 👍
