Payment by Zelle, PayPal or Venmo are accepted.

I will provide an invoice by email when work is complete. Do not send payment with your submission. To submit, please complete, sign, and enclose an order form that lists your books and package safely!

I strive to provide the fastest service possible but I will not rush your books! Turnaround times can vary and I keep the information on the home page up to date based on the current workload that is pending.

If extremely fast service is important to you, I now offer a Fast Track option that puts your books first in line!  Many customers take advantage of this option and these books are usually started very quickly after arrival and are usually completed in one week. If your submission quantity is large, it can take longer.

If cost is a larger concern than speed I got you covered also!  I offer a standard speed service which will have your books worked on in the order received after Fast Track orders are completed.  The quality of the work is 100% the same but the turnaround time is more difficult to predict because it is unknown how many Fast Track submissions will arrive before your books are started.  The time posted on the website reflects my best reasonable estimate.

Absolutely! The majority of the books are sent directly to CGC from here. I require that you complete the CGC order and just email me the packing slip so the graded books will be returned directly to you.

Of course! A huge benefit of using me is that I will provide you estimated CGC grades upon request and you can make the final decision on if a book should be graded or returned to you raw.  Two shipments will have two shipping fees and two order handling fees (currently $6 per shipment)

Definitely! Some of my best customers are local! Just text me to arrange a time.

A $5 upcharge is applied to any book that has a fair market value between $750 and $3000 for a CGC 9.8 of that issue.  The fee is applied even if your copy is of lower grade and value. 

Books will be classified as ‘Unlimited Value’ if the value of that issue is above $3000 as a CGC 9.8. The fee for UV books will be 3.5% of the value of your copy of the book (not the 9.8 value) with a minimum charge of $45.  Example: If a book has 9.8 value of $5000 but your copy is deemed to be a 4.0 which has a value of $900 then you will be charged $45.  If your copy is deemed to be a 9.2 which has a value of $1500 you will be charged $52.50 (3.5%).

Most pressers (1) receive your books, (2) press them and then (3) ship them.  If you select “No” to pre-screen, or do not make a selection, then that will be what I do also!  You will still receive my estimated CGC grades on your invoice after books are completed.

If you select “Yes” to pre-screening for some or all of your books the following process will occur on those books: (1) the book will be removed from the bag and inspected for defects, (2) a current grade estimate will be provided for the book and the most significant defects will be noted, (3) the defects will be examined for repairability and a potential grade will be estimated for the book if you choose to have the book serviced, (4) the book will be rebagged, (5) a prescreen report will be emailed to you, (6) YOU will then decide which of those books to clean & press and inform me.  

 Then I will proceed with the normal process of cleaning and pressing.  You will be charged $4 per book for the prescreening process. You will also be charged the pressing fee for books you want serviced. 

Pre-screening will increase turnaround time by several days!  All grades are estimates and cleaning and pressing results will vary from book to book.  Accordingly, potential grades are not guaranteed.
