ADAMANTIUM Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 19 minutes ago, rexinnih said: I also sent my two submitted for Eastman signing for CCS pressing after. TMNT #2 was 8.5 and TMNT #3 was a 9.0. Even a half grade bump makes the time and extra $ worth it. Still showing as "received" but hope a status change is coming in the next few days based on what is being posted here. It's my hope too, but if cgc I not to make an official statement or announcement that it's happened then who knows Still. I sent in a Nintendo power #6 that i was lucky enough to get Campbell to do a pizza skecth on that came back 8.5, that's pretty high grade for that issue, I'm hoping it will retain with the Eastman sketch but waiting is like. .... ...... ....... Also sent my TMNT adventures 1 that I expect to grade in the 9's but not 9.8 rexinnih 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytastebud Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I thought I would update everyone on my order. I sent in Donatello 1(1986), TMNT 3 (paid for press) and 10 for Mr. Eastman to sign at the end of December. It showed received on 12/30 (a week later) and did not change until 3 weeks ago where it finally went to SFG. Last Friday 4/9 it went to grading CC and today 2 books shipped. The TMNT 3 is still received with no change. My TMNT 10 is coming back SS 9.0 graders notes rusty staples and the Donatello 1 SS 9.8. I will post pictures when I get the two books Friday. Very surprised at the 9.0. I had it much higher, but it is what it is. Thrilled with my Donatello 9.8 though fatlab123, ADAMANTIUM, Chetgunderson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kchung Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Update on mine. 1 book no press received 12/4 and went into SFG 3/16. It's been 4 weeks since it went into SFG and no movement. I've seen a lot of people post on social media and non of them had their books received before my 12/4. So much for first in first out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wouldn't think they meant for it to apply since processing the orders like that is an unnecessary organizational step when cgc is obviously struggling to keep up.

Also, if you click status explanation on the submission tracking page it says "Submissions are then arranged by service and received date so that they can be graded on a "first in-first out" basis by service type."

Well, these are all the same service and its arguable they are all the same received date since the process cannot start until signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytastebud Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I ended up calling customer service just right now. There was no light shed on my TMNT 3 signing. She commented that it was part of the batch Eastman still needed to sign. I joked that I won't see the book for a year and she said once its signed it should be a 6 week turnaround. I mentioned to her that I have three more modern submissions of 10 each and a 2 book Standard submission all in limbo and not marked received even though the 1st submission reached them on March 23. She said they are still opening mail from March 15-19. coolvintagetoys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your most recent received for the ones pressed? Or did they go directly to sfg? I'm trying to ask when you got the most recent back from pressing to see if somehow the next batch if signing happend? I doubt it has or you would have offered that info obviously so I'm guessing the wait is on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Eaton Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I emailed for a specific update on my books: Received 1/28/21. They say mine were signed at HQ (not sent out) I had pressing before grading so they expect I will see updates soon and receive the books in the next few weeks. We'll see.

If there at head quarters and not sent out, does that even mean they've been signed? To my knowledge the 2nd signing hasn't happened yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge the 2nd signing hasn't happened yet I may not have been clear. According to CGC mine were part of the initial signing in early March, not part of any batch being sent to Eastman. But the pressing/grading is taking time. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mytastebud Posted April 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2021 As promised, two of my submissions to CGC for the Eastman signing. I wish I could have had more signed. Just couldn't swing it financially. I will have to sell the #10 even though it looks way higher in grade to me. Grader notes said rusty staples yet they are super clean on the outside of the book. So happy to have them back Fisionbomb, Chetgunderson, ADAMANTIUM and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
