What Just Happened?

Or Aren't Fast Tracks Supposed to be Fast Tracked?

 

My first two invoices from the NYCC were accepted one day after the other. The first one was Forever Evil #1 3D variant. This was accepted on the 17th of October. The second was my own personal copy of The New Mutants annual, the first annual I ever purchased. I only had this cracked from its slab so I could size up the bags for my 9.8 copy. Both annuals were signed by all three creators. The 9.8 went through CCS, my 9.4 went straight to CGC. It was accepted on the 18th.

 

I like to check on my invoices. Currently I have six at CGC. The first one that changed was from Baltimore. The second was from the NYCC, but not the one that was fast tracked. Did CGC make a mistake? Did somehow they flip by accident? Yesterday my Annual was changed from graded to grading/quality control. Two terminologies that should be switched around.

 

I'm happy that the six invoices are moving along at a nice pace, but I'm curious on why a modern age invoice would skip over a modern age fast tracked invoice. I'll call on Friday to find out how this happened, or maybe, just maybe when I check my invoices it won't really matter.

 

Thanks for Reading

I'm not sure I'm following you, but are you saying you personally cracked open a yellow SS book?

[Tnerb]

No, I'm saying for two if my books I did send through for signature serues. The second one I sent is making it through faster than my first one which was fast tracked.

"changed from graded to grading/quality control. Two terminologies that should be switched around."

 

I had the same feeling about this, ...for a while... but, have since changed my mind. (After reading the definitions multiple times)

 

CGC's Quality Control (QC) is a review of post-encapsulation. It makes sense that after an order is "graded" it should go through "QC" - I think it's the "Grading" that makes no sense. Why would you be "grading" a book after it's "graded"....?!?!?! Maybe this should simply be relabeled as "QC"..?

I agree. It SHOULD be relabeled as simply "Quality Control"
