It had to happen to me.

Ok so if you recall in my previous posts on the submission and turn around time race between CGC and CBCS oh wait is it safe to use their name or should I start referring to them as "that other company"?...

So I submitted 2 exact modern books ASM#1 (mile high variants) 1 copy to cgc and 1 to that other company to see who will grade them accurately and have them back in my hands the fastest.

Well both CGC and TOC (that other company) posted they were recieved on August 7th. CGC still only has it as recieved which I'm not really surprised about and TOC has it as "in safe".

Based on TOC's stated promise of a 15 day guaranteed turnaround time it looks like they aren't sticking to their promise. At first I thought maybe something was wrong with my order so I called TOC to check on my order and I spoke to someone there to see what's going on because TOC had already exceeded their promised turnaround time by 2 business days already. The person I spoke to was very polite and stated they were running a bit behind on moderns at the moment, I guess because they were set up at shows taking submissions duh and he stated that if the book exceeds a certain amount of days past the turnaround time they would give me a 20% credit on a future submission which is all good and well but I would rather have had the book back sooner than later. So as of now the speedy TOC isn't as speedy in turnaround times as declared but none the less it's still too early to tell what will be till I get both books back in my hands to make that judgement call. None the less leave it to my darn luck to have just 1 lousy modern book to be graded and have it held up for book traffic.

Thanks for reading.
