CBCS Book Verification12133

Collector Yoosh5492 private msg quote post Address this user
Hi All,

I have someone interested in buying one of my CBCS books. It has an older label and he wants to verify that its legit before purchasing. He said he has called and emailed CBCS 4 times in the last 3 weeks and still hasnt received a response. Any ideas how I get get this verified? Any assistance would be appreciated.

It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious. GAC private msg quote post Address this user
@Yoosh5492 When you say verified...are you asking if it's a genuine CBCS graded book?

its the old number system and wont be found in the Pop report.

I can say this is an old CBCS label, i have a few myself, if that's what you mean.

@Yoosh5492 They can type the serial number into this tool. If it is a valid serial number (and not one of the books whose data was lost) it should come up with the book’s information (title, issue number, grade, label color, condition notes), which should all match the book you have in hand


EDIT: hmmmm, book doesn’t seem to show up for me but let me try different combinations. Like I said, it might be a book whose data was lost

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
Send him to this site. Took me a second to see three different labels on various Batman books. At least yours doesn't have the rivets:

I may have misunderstood the post, does he think that label is illegitimate or does he just want to verify the certification #?

Old invoice numbers are included in the population report but they have “00-“ added to the start.

This specific book is not included for some reason. My bet is that it was in the bunch of older data that was lost when they transitioned to the current system a few years ago

If you can't sell it, maybe your best bet is to have it sent in with other comics you plan on having graded for a reholder once the new cases come in. That way you'll get a new label and certification #.

I would think that CBCS would want to offer to reslab the book for free.

I mean if this kind of thing would make the book unsellable, it isn't the clients fault that CBCS lost the serial number information. I can't imagine that this happens much and offering to reslab the book would be that much of a burden on CBCS. (imho)

Thanks for all you help. Its a shame that I might miss out on a sale because of this.

Reholders do not typically get new certification numbers. It’s just the old number on the new label. In fact you have to input the number into the submission form to order a reholder. Since this serial number isn’t working he might have to write it in on the invoice.

Hopefully, if they receive this book it would prompt them to rebuild the information in the system, if not then maybe they would issue a new certification number so that the book can be accounted for in the system

I'd suggest using the "report a problem" button (or whatever it is called) on the population report. Tell them it is missing.

It's like the Roach Motel for comic collectors. chester15 private msg quote post Address this user
Maybe the book should be worth more than usual. It has a "secret identity".

Another comparison: remember when you had to pay a premium to have your phone number UNLISTED from the phone book? This book is the upgraded unlisted version.

I always thought that an unlisted phone number had to be a form of extortion. It was extortion if you told a liquor store owner that you WON'T firebomb his store if he paid a "protection" fee of X amount per week. How is this different: If you don't pay us, we will publish your telephone number.

Thanks guys!! I sold it for $555 shipped pending this label issue. Let me know if anyone here is interested. I would just want to make sure the initial buyer wants to cancel.
