Tantrums are happening because it is a garish surprise out of left field that is poorly designed and looks unprofessional and was a step backwards from a label and logo that were not broken and didn't need fixing.

There's a reason New Coke was a complete failure. This label is New Coke.

substance over style... by that I mean the case protects and displays the comic without any rings or waves or imprints. the slip of paper on top is to say what the comic is thats it. So why is it such a big deal?

My mylar bags and toploaders also don't have newton rings or waves and they protect my books just fine. Slabbing also serves a purpose for protection, and for nice displaying. If the display is no longer nice, and I have no interest in selling the book, there's no longer a reason to slab. If you are slabbing for personal collection, you want it to look nice. Otherwise just keep it raw. Since CBCS slabs no longer look nice to me I'll keep my collection raw, or buy old slabs on ebay. I won't spend money on something that I hate looking at.

I'd slab every comic I owned!

It'd be really cool if the last old style label had that distinction on it. Imagine getting that back.

That makes ZERO sense. You'd rather have damage to your favorite books rather than have a label that isn't appealing.

Yeah, you lost all credibility here.

As we have shown, you can't please everyone online, and with the sense of entitlement a large portion have, I'm surprised they have message boards.

In other words...




Seriously, so many crying babies

right the case preserves the comic in that given grade for the possibility of selling in the future; and authenticating sigs for the possibility of selling in the future.

That exactly the type of knee-jerk reactionary statement that is unproductive and unwelcome in a serious discourse.

Exactly, preserving the comic is a non issue to me because every raw comic in my collection gets 4mil mylar, fullbacks, and micro chamber paper. 99% of books I have no intention of selling until I'm an old man (30+ years from now). The only appeal for me for slabbing for that 99% of books is purely because I liked how they looked. If they don't look good, I have no use for them. I'll wait 30 years and then slab them.

Well, I've got 7 books currently in "shipping". I'm wondering which labels I'll get. It'd be hilarious if they were a mixture. When they arrive, I'll post pics and we'll see what everyone thinks.

That is beautiful. They should have chosen that one! Lol.


That really is a beautifully designed label. It's Professional, elegant, well structured, balanced,... and that shield is just "second to none".

Since we obviously can't hold a POLL thread, then how about a PLUS count thread?

I vote this label so I'm going to give it a +1. The next person (if so desires) give it a +2, next person a +3, and so on - the PLUS increments by one on each vote.

Just for chuckles, let's see what the PLUS count is 48 hours from now.

+1

while i understand how you feel. They still have the same service. label looks horrible i agree but will it stop me from sending in my book? no because the case will do it's intended job and the label will do the same. IT WONT LOOK THE SAME. but it still doing its job by providing the grade and all the other info. all they did is just put a unattractive receptionist at the front desk compared to the last one that worked there.... no so much as an Eye candy but still does the job well.

A day looking at it and watching the video a couple of times I'm going to be OK with it I think. I have some expanded books sent in around the 17th so I should have a new label sooner or later in my hands. I'm not going to get too crazy either way until I have the product in my hands and can see it up close.

I would also say some people may want to take a deep breath and let the shock of change wear off and see how they feel about it a little down the road. And CBCS please don't leave us hanging on something so trivial as this again for a week or more. You guys could have played your hand better IMAO.

EDIT: I apologize. Didn't mean to set off any bombs or offend. I have had no problems with my new CGC case, alas, I was exaggerating. Yes, I HATE the new logo, but I still like CBCS and the way they do their work. I got carried away because I wanted to send in more books and was more than happy with their old label, now when I start to get ready to send in books...this happens. Yes, it is not THAT big a deal, but I also rather not stare at a 90's RPG style shield either. I will not be one of those "eh, I hate it but I will still take it" type of people.

My bad, I was just exaggerating how much I hate the new label. I apologize. I still do like CBCS and the work they have done. I am just overly disappointed because I was excited to send in my next batch of books and saw this posted...
