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.


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...

How about they just give some frigging advanced notice first, since I sent my stuff in two months ago under the impression that I'd be getting the advertised label at the time of submission.

Sorry, but I disagree. I have a feeling if that was the label, people would be even more upset because there's practically nothing going on in that label. It's all white and blue. The CBCS logo on there looks like an el cheapo security placard you would stick in front of your house.

This makes no sense. You are saying you are more worried about the label than the actual artwork you are trying to protect. You would rather see wavy lines and rings when you look at your art collection than whatever label is on top?

People need to put down their pitchforks. Act like a rational adult and you'll get treated like one. If you want to convince CBCS to change the label, do it with class.

+10's and 20's show a lot of love and passion, but to get a more accurate count, how about we increment by 1. LOL

+ 100% (what he just said!)

My PLUS count post is directed solely towards the previous label. I have 6 ASM 129's I want slabbed but I have been holding off because I may relocating out of state fairly soon. Where are they eventually going for certification and encapsulation?... CBCS - regardless the appearance of the label.

CBCS Grading = SPOT ON!
CBCS Encapsulation and Preservation = SECOND TO NONE!

Many people have posted their negative views towards the new label (which I agree), and reposted, and reposted. I'm just curious what the 'numerical' opinion is at the end of this, let's say, 48 hour Shock and Awe period.

CBCS is #1 regardless! :cigar:

I'm looking forward to seeing how CBCS responds to this criticism of the design. What they have to say will determine what I decide to do with my collection going forward. Some people keep calling this trivial. The appearance of my private collection is definitely not trivial to me. And I hope my opinion as a paying customer is not trivial to CBCS.

My only complaint really is with the holofoil CBCS shield. It looks odd. Would have been more then happy if they just holofoil'ed the original shield. Companies changes logos all the time, how many times has DC or Marvel changed their logos over the years?

They are still the same company and the case is the same. It just looks different. It's not going to stop me from using them.

Though have to wonder who they heard/listened to that made them change the look, as haven't heard anyone personally that said the logo needs to change.

I agree. That looks clean and uniform.

The new label looks like a disaster. My father, who couldn't work photoshop to save his life could've come up with something better. And what's with the rivets?

Talk about dropping the ball. The thing that I like about CBCS is that they listen to the collectors/ fans. You had the opportunity to do just that.

How about come up with 5 new designs then poll us before you put out something sub par.

CLEARLY you have not read my past replies......... would it be better I delete my post as to not ruffle people's feathers? Jeez.

EDIT: I do have a new CGC case and its super clear, shiney, and has no waves, and I can't see the rings when displayed. I like them. That being said I like CBCS more.

I feel some responsibility here as I posted on this forum that I thought they should make some changes to their Label. I Definetly like the old label better.

This new label is hard on the eyes... Not really digging it. The metal finish, the weird font, it doesn't mesh well at all. I'm kind of nervous about submitting my books via Cincy Comicon in September. I would still go through with it if they offer the old label as a choice... Otherwise I might have to wait until they make a new label...

Could always reslab later but.... I feel like I shouldn't have to. This really blows =(

I heard some company was working on slabs that you put your own comics in. No need to send in unless you want it to get graded. Not sure who is doing it or when it comes out though.
