thank you, appreciate it.  Just checked and they went to verified this morning.  I used the online form and they were received on Friday according to tracking and went to verified today.

Glad I’m not the only one on the slow boat to the invoice list. My latest box was received in Sarasota on Monday and isn’t showing up yet. Maybe tomorrow. :wishluck:

So I submitted three books for pressing and grading at the Cincinnati Comic Expo on September 20th. My books are still showing received. Nothing has happened since. I’m closing in on 4 months since I submitted them. Is this normal?

Yes it is, I submitted books back in August, they finally came from CCS on 12/14. It is the new normal.

Hi guys,

Looking to sub a batch of books for the first time since 2005!  :whatthe:

If I'm reading this right (batch of copper/modern books), a prescreen, press and grade (all fast tracked) can still take up to 57 business days?  35 days for the prescreen + 8 days for the grading + 14 days for the press? 

I'm fairly confident in this stack of books and was thinking I might just dump the prescreen, or break the invoice down into two submissions (keep the higher quantity second batch to meet the minimum number for prescreen....thoughts?

The pre screen doesn't take anywhere close to 35 days for FT. Look at the guy 2 posts above from yours. FT pre screen and he went from received to graded in 7 calendar days. I don't know how long CCS would add on for pressing though as I've never used them.

100 Copper prescreen

Received 11/15

SFG 1/3

Graded 1/4

One batch went to QA/QC on 1/5

One Batch of 25 Shipped 1/7/18 (I'll assume the grader was blind based on the results)

Two more batches of 25 shipped on 1/8/19

A few nice home run books but I won't even say how many rejects on this batch.  They either are being really strict of my eye sight has been poor at the end of the year.

9.6s are flowing again :frustrated:

25 Book Modern FT Pre screen

Received  1/4. Verified 1/7. SFG 1/10. Graded 1/11.

QC 11/14.

Shipped safe 11/15. 20/25 9.8, which was better than I thought. I tossed a few in there that were borderline to fill the prereq for 25.

it is a race to see what comics back first...value submission verified on 11/09 or moderns verified on 1/17? Both have some Captain Marvel/Ms. Marvel so get them back CGC! Gotta make that movie money!
