Welcome in the Comics General section there's actually an introduction topic thread which is stickied. It actually seems more appropriate to have it here. as exciting it is to send off that first batch if it's even more exciting when they finally get back to you. One thing I learned, the hard way, do not rush into submitting until we figure out all the pros and cons. Are you submitting just a single book or a batch? Submitting single books can result in expensive shipping back to you if using the post office. Ninja0215 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you want to have some fun, you can post some comics in the Buddy Can You Spare a Grade forum and then we say what grade we think it will get. Then you'll show us how wrong/right we were when you get the comic back. Ninja0215 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Submitting single books can result in expensive shipping back to you if using the post office. I would most likely use the post office but if its going be more costly then I would rather ups. I would be submitting just a few books till I figured everything out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: If you want to join in on the fun here, we adress CBCS as Voldemort or Voldy for short, because it's the one who shall not be named.

Well, lol for two reason:: one of the is because of their verifies sig program and the other one was I could submit directly to them without being a member. I once heard a story from a member of the comic collecting group on Facebook that said CBCS lost one of his signed books. He said and quote never again. I heard turn around for CGC was way faster so I'm here to jump in on what's good lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they ask for the insurance value and have different tiers based on it. All the best! Ninja0215 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja0215 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Looks like a risk either way but I believe the pay off is worth it. Anyway I can get books back quicker is a win for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that will be on the Packing List that is generated when you place your order online. My first submission, I was so worried about packing the books safely that I forgot to put the packing slip in the box Got all the way back home from the Post Office and saw it still laying on the desk....luckily my local post master is cool. -bc Edited August 27, 2020 by bc typo # 45,687 Ninja0215 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
