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.

How do I know this? Because I've done it myself. lawguy1977 private msg quote post Address this user
@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. 👍

Thanks man! I know for certain one book will go down. Maybe not by a lot but least half of a point.

In the ask questions thread, I feel really bad about entertaining the idea of using cgc again. Cbcs has everything i need; no need to go across the street.

@ComicNinja0215 it's fine and I wasn't personally attacking you. I was just curious why you would overlook how awful CGC is because of a few positive results. I find myself buying crap from businesses I despise and questioning decisions I've made even in the past week.

@flanders I questioned A LOT of decisions I have made over the past few years lol. ( Thanks Only fans) Anyway, The narrative suggest cgc slabs sell for more. If I ever had to dump my collection I know I could get a little more. However, the value of anything is the price someone is willing to pay. Cbcs cases are far and away superior so it makes ten times more sense to submit here and continue being happy with the results than roll the dice and question if you made the right choice.

For my last shipment:
Delivered: 11 December 2024
Received: 13 January 2025
Pressing: 13 January 2025
Since 13th January 2025, there hasn't been any further update.

Any idea when PSA will start grading comics? They seem to meet their timeframes for autographs so I'm interested to try them for Comics especially if they actually meet the timeframes they advertise.

PSA has a forum for their card grading. Maybe join up and ask them about their comic grading launch date.

Thomas (Mark's brother, er... "Captain Restoration" said they should be accepting submissions May/June.
You will see them post on the interweb when they do.

@GAC haha! Nahh, not impressed. Besides, I have a terrible feeling they're going to be the most expensive to get books graded. The hobby doesn't need price gouging.

I have used all the grading companies and this is what I've found.

Pgx is the cheapest; the case isn't as bad as i thought but some grades were questionable.

Egs has pretty good grading but the case sucks and the labels are crooked. The graders notes all say the same thing no matter the book.

We all know about the cgc lol

I have gotten everything I needed from cbcs; no need to jump ship.
