Hey Everyone,
If you have completed your Backerkit Survey and requested no add-ons, I am shipping your order out today. For those of you who requested some extra goodies, the process requires that I wait until the stragglers fill out their surveys and the money gets collected.
Thanks for backing my project everyone,
Preston
Here is What I Worked Out

Wow, now that I am inquiring, getting comics graded comes at quite a cost.
The per unit cost goes down with volume. Since I'm probably going to be only doing a few books, that translates to a high per unit cost. HOWEVER, I was able to work a deal with CBCS, which is a mile or so from my house. One of the big costs to getting comics graded is the shipping back and forth.
Since they are local, I can just drive over, drop them off, have them witness my signature, and then pick them up six weeks later when they are graded. That's a big savings.
I ended up with a quoted costs for $59 to you the consumer for this service. I understand if that is too high for some of you. The comics grading game punishes the little guy. I may be able to work out some convention deals in the future to lower the cost.
Surveys went out today!
The quicker you complete them, the sooner you get your comics,
Preston

I have been asked if these comics might be professionally graded for a fee. I aim to make my customers happy.
Consequently, on Monday, I will visit my local CGC dealer and ask about the process and associated costs. I will them make that an available add-on in Backer Kit and send out the surveys to everyone.
Thanks,
Preston
