I shipped 8 modern, no press, just grade books last night. 12 week turnaround. Base service. I will try to post updates as it goes through the process. Let’s check these TATS! (Either way, I love CBCS and keep giving them my business because their product is top notch in my book, TATS are only a temporary deal).

Books to be graded:
Batman #666
ASM #792
Walking Dead 15th Anniversary’s:
#1 Virgin Color
#19 Virgin B&W
#100 Virgin B&W
Harley Quinn #52 Foil
Wonder Woman #56 Foil
Jessica Jones #1 David Aja Variant

I also understand these are not the most valuable books. HQ, WW, and JJ are gifts. Other 5 are cool and have value to me. See Jerry’s Star Wars collector coins and conversation with Dofus Rick. Hahahahahahaha

Thank you. They should all grade really high. JJ might be the lowest with a nick in the top left corner. Toughest part is now all I have are the pictures for these book for the next 4 months. Ha.
Expected delivery to CBCS is Thursday 10/25. I will follow back up with USPS delivery, then official receipt by CBCS. Then check maybe weekly for status updates on the invoice.
I am also assuming they shut down for Thanksgiving / Christmas / New Year's vacations and such so 4 months isn't unreasonable in my book.

Thanks for doing this but you might be making your favorite company look bad.

FYI it seems CGC has fixed the ‘newton ring’ issue, my last 15 or so CGC books have been newton free.

I don't see how just reporting raw data or information "makes" someone look bad. Cbcs is responsible for the accuracy of its quoted TATs. If they're putting out bad information thatvisnt being backed up by statistical data/results, that's there fault...not the one reporting the data/facts.

I have pretty much lost all patience for CBCS TATs. Although I like the forums here 1000 times more than cgc (which I struggle to navigate) I'm mot sending them any more business until their TATs are aligned better with competition. newton rings were what I've considered to be cbcs's best leverage over cgc, and that leverage may no longer apply from the recent results I've seen.

I love CBCS. Yeah I wish they were faster but I'm not in a hurry so its no big deal for me. I am only a personal collector and not a flipper.
There is no intent to call out or make anyone look bad either. I am only doing a public audit if you will for others that are thinking about sending in books the cheapest possible way for what they can expect for a turnaround.
This is also providing measurable feedback for CBCS to ensure everyone is on the same page with their backlog.
Again, all my books are CBCS (13 of them) except for 1 that I bought already graded from another company. I do feel their product is better than the competitors so I have no problem waiting for the product longer.

@billkruser5 - I am at around 14 weeks for my last submission. My previous two took 23 weeks and then 20 weeks, so I do feel you are getting pretty close. I will probably send another batch in for grading in the next week or two to keep something in the system. I had hoped they would have gotten the TAT's down to 16 weeks or less by now.

I am counting on 20 weeks. Anything faster will be a pleasant surprise. I have some more books I want to send off as well but for an extra $10 per book, I will probably fast pass them and call it a day.
But I don't flip books, all for personal library so I really am not pressed for speed. Its more of a cost of my impatience.
