| It’s a great deal, but since my order that arrived 11/1 still hasn’t hit “received” I’m holding off as it seems they’re backed up again. | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

The submission is pending but I may still be too much of a chickenshit to send this in.  |

| Your grading and pressing fees seem high. Did you add express to each service? | ||

| I just boxed up 11 books. My brother will drop them off at CBCS in a couple of days. 🤞 | ||

| @DrWatson it's based on a fmv of up to $4000. The lower option is for $1000, which is far less than what it's worth. | ||

| You do get priority on the grading side. That knocks off 10 business days. | ||

| @DrWatson and I might as well use that $14 credit I've had sitting in my account for 3 years from back when they had a rewards program. I still have no idea why CBCS doesn't offer memberships anymore. | ||

| It's going in. I'm hoping it grades at least a 9.4. I've stared at this long enough over the years to think it should stay at least that or maybe even get a 9.6. Thanks in advance @stevericketts | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders I submitted a CGC green label Sandman #8 to CBCS a year or two ago. The resulting grade from CBCS matched the original CGC grade. So, fingers crossed that you get the same kind of outcome. |

| @DWeeB1967 thanks! I'm looking forward to finding out and expect to receive it by early February. I think this is the first slabbed book I've ever sent in. | ||

| @flanders Good Luck. I hope you get a grade bump. It always makes me wonder if I can maintain the grade sending in a previously graded book. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson That's awesome. Nice chunk of change there. I am saving those pressing fees being in the lab. They only gave us a short period of time, so I am trying to get as many done by Tuesday as possible. Shipping on Wednesday with priority to get them there by Friday. I am up to 19 ready with two in the tank. Hope to have 25 - 30 ready to ship out Wednesday. Make sure to show us some of those beauties you have had stuck back. |

| I'm just poking fun. We collect stuff. We're already neurotic. What's that saying? Psychotics build castles in the air. Neurotics clean them. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson A friend of mine in Stanton Island is beyond neurotic. He has 1 full bedroom (I mean full), his garage almost full, a room at his mom's house full, and his living room is now over flowing with boxes. He might be considered a hoarder. I try to buy some books every now and again, but he won't sell diddly. He says "If I sell them, then I won't have them"... Ummm, ok.... |

| If anyone hasn't sent in their submissions, they'd better hop to it. The USPS is already running behind on promised delivery dates. At this point, I might suggest FedEx or UPS. | ||

| @DrWatson I will take that advice. Going to be at Fed-Ex in the morning. 2 Day Express... Cheap compared to all of the pressing fees I saved... |
