The other guys are still sorting as well. Patience my lad... patience.

 

:gossip: the other guys emailed me on monday that my submission was received, in the system and in que. Granted I paid for the higher end tier but still.

 

Same with me. Back on Monday and in safe for grading. If they can do it....why... ah forget it. :sumo:

 

Yeah but did the other guys take in 100 boxes of submissions?

I don't know or have facts to back it up.... But from what I saw and heard, they had 5-6 people deep on Thursday morning subbing...and it didn't let up on Thursday. I subbed 12 books and I was told they took in record submissions. So I would think yes.

12,000 submissions at NYCC.

My question is why does the tiers only matter after they unpack it and open a ticket - if you take in submissions they should be sorted by tier and opened in the order of time in and service tier. No?

Yeah, but how about the rest of the show?

 

It's in my best interest to keep an eye on what's going on in the industry - you can not compare both companies volumes over the weekend at all. CGC had two booths that were swamped all weekend long. The Sig Series booth in artist alley was packed anytime I walked by it. Not the case at the other company's booth. Sure they had people subbing books but nothing on the scale of CGC. Not even close.

If you think the other company took in 12k books during NYCC, you're smoking crack. Come on.

Well from growing up in the South Bronx in the Eighties you picked the right city to find & smoke it.

Logistically, how exactly would this be accomplished ? Even if they collected the books and grouped them by tiers, all integrity would be lost upon handing them off to the shipper. Asking CGC to sort 12,000 books by tiers seems like a monumental task when they are trying to go home.

Seriously, putting Expresses into one box, Standards into another, Economy, so-on-so-forth is too difficult? :o:o:o

You're kidding right (shrug)

 

Then CGC shouldn't offer anything but Standard tier at the cons. Don't take my money if you don't intend to deliver CGC. Once I hand my books over, I assume they are in CGC's possession. It shouldn't take another 8 days for them to show up in their "system". Sorry, but this is a CGC lack of planning and management. The drones at CGC who are busting their arses (their words) to open and put all 12,000 orders into the tracking system are not to blame - it's CGC's business and their responsibility to create a system that honors their agreement to deliver on a given time-frame.

 

If I pay for 5 days turnaround, I shouldn't then need to worry how CGC accomplishes this once I hand it over to them - that's their problem.

 

Gods-honest truth, last time I EVER submit a book to CGC at a con :wishluck:

Let me also add that I bellyache and moan about CGC, but I am a supporter of them and what they do - but stuff like this to me is indefensible and It speaks to me of a larger issue, that they appear to be very tone deaf to the average joe's issues.

How would I know it was 12,000 books subbed? That info was posted after my post so I didn't say they did equal it.

 

I would guess the volume isn't the same only because the awareness and trust isn't close yet due to such a short time in business. What they are getting is impressive to say the least.

 

The question Beachbum asked me is if they took in hundreds of boxes, I still think they did but don't think it's equal to what CGC gets. Make sense?

 

And i'm sure if you were at the show Beachbum, you saw plenty of the other guy slabs on many dealer walls. I think acceptance is pretty good considering and since it is your business...i'd imagine you have your eyes open about how they are selling too. 2c

No way they took in hundreds of boxes. A short box holds about 150 books, a long box holds about 300. Even assuming they cut out 50 from a short and 100 from a long to make room for extra packaging materials to keep the books safe, that's still 100 books per short and 200 per long. If they took in 100 boxes, that would be between 10,000 and 20,000 books. No way they took in that many submissions. My guess is somewhere between 3-5,000

They didn't take in 100s of boxes either :eyeroll:

 

I know that you're firmly rooting for the other company to succeed, but if they managed to pull in 1/10th of the submissions CGC did at NYCC, it would be a miracle - and I very much doubt they did even that.

If you factor out any SS series books and just consider straight submissions, I would say that they did better than 1/10th of the volume. I whole heartedly concede that CGC has a stranglehold on artist alley and signatures in general. Desert Wind and NY Comics were submitting books to CGC as far as I know and not to the other guys. However, with the exception of Thursday, I was there for almost the whole weekend and I am comfortable in my claim that they received greater than 1/10th the number of books that CGC would have received that would have been placed in blue, green, or purple labels.

Why would you factor out SS? The other company was taking in signatures as well.
