Which one do you think will be worth the most? Which will be the highest grade?

The Detective Comics 225 is a very nice copy. It has potential to be a 6, I just hope it is unrestored.
Most of the modern variants are in great shape and should do well.

Any word on current turnaround times?
How long do you think it will take?

30 business days, so if you calculate weekends and courier from the UK to USA and back, it will be at least 50 days.

No, not yet.
I sent them via a third party (Scott's Collectables, London). They would have gotten the package from me by March 9th, and probably sent it off about a week or so later. I reckon I still have at least 2 - 3 more weeks to wait.
Upon reflection, I really should have sent the books in directly myself. Would have gotten a better turnaround time.
I will post the grades as soon as I have them.

Finally!! Almost three months to the day that I paid for the CGC grading service, I have my books back.
Overall I would say that I am very pleased with what I have been sent back.
The plus points are the 9.8's and the grades for the Detective Comics 225, Batman 121 and Avengers 4, which all came back with the Universal blue labels.
Negative points are the Moon Knight #1, and the ASM 678, that I was hoping would come in higher.
Here are the grades.....
4.5 Batman #121
6.5 Detective Comics #225
7.5 Avengers #4
8.0 Moon Knight #1 Sienkiewicz Variant
9.2 Amazing Spiderman #678 Quinones Variant
9.2 Supergirl and the Legion of Super Heroes #23 Hughes Variant
9.4 Harley Quinn #1 Hughes Variant
9.6 Invincible #1
9.6 Superior Spiderman #20 Campbell Variant
9.6 Monsters Unleashed #4 Sienkiewicz Variant
9.8 Empire of the Dead #1 Sudayam Variant
9.8 Enormous #1 NYCC Variant
9.8 Spider Gwen #1 Hughes Variant
9.8 Edge of Spiderverse #2 Land Variant
At just on $1000 it was an expensive exercise, but one I feel was well worth it.
Happy Days!

The books are in Scotland and I am in the Philippines. I can get my brother to photograph them.
