Is anyone working from home on the long hoped for census. This might be a great opportunity to get this accomplished.

Thanks. Tom.

Magazine slabs are going to be at least a year out.

The census is in the final phase of testing and should be up and running sometime within the next 6-8 weeks.

Wow! With TAT's generally at a reasonable level,once magazine size slabs come out later this year, and a census actually finally gets up and running; what will the CBCS haters complain about now? I'm sure they'll think of something.

Yeah, I’m aware of the inconsistencies in their census. There’s an ongoing discussion about this on their GA board right now. So far no one has been able to address those concerns to my satisfaction (after my last post on this topic you could hear crickets).

I suppose some folks will always embrace CGC census numbers as accurate in spite of the crack-out and press culture, assuming the old labels are sent back and entries changed even when there’s little evidence to support it.

Hope springs eternal that some sort of peaceful coexistence can be brokered between these two critical businesses for the long term vitality of the hobby.

Cat- When we 1st opened CBCS, we wanted to do the right thing for the community. I called Matt Nelson and we started sending CGC labels back to them and Matt sent CBCS labels back to us. CGC stopped sending them back to us. I had a few friends call CGC and ask if they were sending back labels. The answer they got was "We throw them out.". So we stopped sending CGC labels to take off their census. We still have our re-submitted labels so that we can try to keep the CBCS census as correct as possible. CGC just does not care at this point in time....

So the CGC census isn’t really all that accurate then.
Close but no cigar in other words

Then the question arises
When you reslab or regrade a Previously slabbed & graded CGC book will you enter it into the CBCS Census.

And

What if you add a signature to a already slabbed CBCS book and yellow or red label it
Will the CBCS Census be adjusted. In other will the blue label be removed and the red or yellow replace it.

And then what about adding a signature to a
Blue label CGC book turning it into a yellow or red label CBCS Slab.

Sorry to complicate this but The wheels are
turning

I guess without the cooperation of the other companies the census will only ever be just a approximation

Well I guess it’s better than nothing.
