For my next WalkThru shipment I'll be using this glow in the dark tape................I'm only half kidding.

I get the sense that a lot of sellers will be extremely unhappy come this fall / winter when the seller's market eventually slows down, and all the books they sent in to be pressed/graded just sit in their inventory. This is not CGC's problem, but if you're quadrupling the amount of books you send in to take advantage of the hot market, it's really deflating when you don't get the books back from CGC until later this year.

I always wondered about pressed books as well. If I have a comic pressed but not graded for another 3 to 5 months, do I not run the risk of the book reverting back?

It depends on who presses the books. If done correctly by professionals then it will not revert back. Even for quick press I imagine the process taking a few minutes, but the books left in the presser for an hour or 2 to take shape.

I am pretty naïve to how the whole pressing thing works, but do they really revert back to pre pressing condition in such a short time? Because that sounds horrible.

As I noted above, if pressed by professionals, the books will stay in the post pressed condition. This is one of the reasons why I don't buy my own presser. I don't trust myself to do a good thorough job.

But I think I see my box from this angle, They must only come from the other side.

"They" said it was not marked properly, I did not take a pic of that box, but this is an example of how I mark them.

 

Going to very blunt.  That way is a sure fire way you won't get noticed in the sea of brown boxes.

Should it be noticed?  Yes

Does just writing it with a black marker blend in when they are working very fast? Yes

I mailed a Express (EX) box last Tuesday Priority Mail, it was entered into CGC and my account today.  Less than a week.  Delivered on Friday, in my account Monday.

I will be blunt.

Well that one WAS noticed the white one that was WT has not been and it was sent exactly as your EX. The EX was delivered on the 29th received on the 5th and SFG today. I actually deliberately did this box this way and used Fedex to see if it changed. Had it not been a book I had for a while I would not have bothered. 

But you are kidding yourself in a customer service industry where the blame gets put on the paying customer to follow a set of rules or be sent to the pit of misery.

Never said it was your fault.  I said it should have been noticed.  Was just saying maybe next Time make the lettering stand out more.

Fair enough and I was partially joking, I am on amazon looking for the 83 Sharpie Palette and looking for the most striking and visually enticing combos. My next move is to get with Pratt Industries to design a shipping box for me that has embossed WT on every inch of it in 16 different colors. 

But in honesty, Once Joey ships over my orders from him, these are my last submissions.

That seems shockingly fast from the time it got to the CGC side of the house.

You're going to stop submitting books for a while?

Honestly all jokes aside that isn't a bad idea.

Anyone have the old prices? I think I was mistakenly charged the new rates

I know... I was expecting end of Summer with these. Almost all are Love and Rockets (first printings) that have never before been graded by CGC. I can understand future delays with inputing the info.

That is shocking. 

[wombat]

What are the chances they figure out I have a credit and not charge me the whole amount?

It was probably on purpose 😂

[Xenosmilus]

Does SFG mean anything nowadays? Or once they receive it, it automatically gets a SFG?
