CGC milestone... and my books are almost ready
Wow
So the CGC announced that they graded their 2 millionth book, which kind of puts into perspective how many books they have to go through, and that we expect a high quality of service in the grades to get these certifications i.e. I don't think they have somewho flips new books over, thumbs the pages, and goes "yep". It's an arduous process.
I saw the book listed in their article/promo was Thief of Thieves #1 from 2012. I had to laugh wondering how many books in queue were close to number million but might have been "it" if the owner had or hadn't ordered a different service level, or mailed in versus drop off, etc.
So it's September now, and this is one of my favorite months. Why? Because some of my potential "book number 2 million" will come back. Every year I drop off a big handful at the Pittsburgh Comicon in April, and the turnaround times always hit the post Labor Day window. It's like a back to school gift, plus it gives me a nice pre-Christmas present, as I can now flip my lower grade copies on the ones I've had upgraded in my collection.
At least, that's how I try to think positive when it comes to CGC. Love the product, appreciate the process... but hate the waiting.
