    It wasn’t just the sale. They immediately laid off a significant portion of their staff immediately following the end of the sale. It seems an odd strategy to increase your backlog and then restrict your ability to meet the demand.

    Need some advice…What’s up Bry? I just received a copy of a Doom 1 Prism Foil that I bought off of Whatnot. The bag was blown out of the bottom and a small portion of the corner foil was rubbed off from the tight bag it was in. It’s very small but noticeable. Should I return it or roll the dice and send it in to CGC? I bought it for $200 by the way.

    Great point Bry. I sent in 45 comics during that event. There were 9 that I just wanted graded. I received those last month so it only took 25 days. I am getting back 21 tomorrow that I had pressed so those were a little longer. The last group is being graded so I expect to have them back before Christmas. I was expecting it to take longer, but I feel like given the number of submissions they took in, this was a good turn time. Thanks as always for the great content and perspective.

    Another issue is. Right before the 20% off modern submissions they had a 20% off vintage submissions. I think they were barely caught up from that when the deal for moderns went out. And then they had layoffs right in the middle of all this.

Hard to judge what to "flip" with 6 month turn around times.

    • @jeffstanley6013

      The more likely culprit is the Vintage sale that they did in July ($30/book, min 15 books). Vintage TAT is currently 115 days which points to August. 10/10 might not help things, but it's that Vintage sale that really slowed things down.

    • @larrysmith7301

  • @Max-million
    @Max-million 12 дней назад

    The reason for the backup is so that CGC can manipulate the market and ultimately the values of the books by holding them back and controlling not only the numbers on the census but the new FMV that they’ve established. When those values go up CGC will be also be able to skim more money from their customers. I’m thinking this market manipulation might be considered illegal?

      Except that the 10/10 sale was in October, only 60 days ago. The TAT for Vintage is currently at 115 days. That's August, not October. I think it's far more likely that the current delay is due to the Vintage sale that they did in July ($30/book, minimum 15 books).
