 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

I am super glad to hear you guys are phasing out the “sig” and “sigs”. It always seemed like a strange and unprofessional short-form. Like why couldn’t my comic SIGNED with a SIGNATURE from Jack Kirby say so? Lol instead it’s “Verified Sig: Jack Kirby”. Sig? Anyways, glad to hear this pet peeve will be gone. I actually always liked the red label for Verified, but I can understand simplifying to anything signed being yellow, it doesn’t bother me a bit. CBCS has always had my business over the competitors because of your eye appealing slabs (no newton rings!) I love the signature verification, and I appreciate that you don’t charge for grading notes! Cheers  |

| Won’t having both verified and unverified signatures in a yellow case create confusion in the marketplace? | ||

| If we send books for re-holder; will the current inner holders be put in the new case? Like a straight swap? That’s all I’d want really. No need to go through the trouble of making a new label and all. P.S. whatever you guys choose for a label color is fine. I don’t get the whole red vs yellow debacle. Maybe we should all get pink and chartreuse? |

Quote:Originally Posted by HulkSmashI would hardly call it a “debacle”, unless you’re laying this solely at the feet of CBCS for having the vsp label in a different color to begin with. My interest is in label accuracy, as well as still presenting an easy to read label. |

@steveinthecity for lack of a better word. It’s just silly for some people to complain about the color and why it’s not yellow like CGC. They’re making it yellow; hopefully the right hue |

| I'm with @steveinthecity. I think it's going to create market confusion. I liked the red/pink labels. Maybe put VSP in a red/yellow plaid thing. I don't know. In the end, it really doesn't affect me because I'm not into signatures, but others are much more into that aspect of the hobby. I would probably pause if I saw a Jack Kirby yellow label. | ||

| The colour of the label does not replace the information on it. We all just need to read the label to see if its verified or witnessed. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC That is paramount. I have feeling that some will be more diligent than others. For instance I bought my first appearance of Barbra Gordon with a detached cover and didn’t see the note. Didn’t make me to upset but I could see this being a huge problem on eBay. |

I don't really care for the change of colors on the VSP labels either. But I have a hard time finding a flaw in the logic behind the change. There has been no big uproar or scandal from CBCS not having a different color for restored. People actually seem to be capable of reading and understanding labels. So, there should be no major confusion to doing the same with verified signatures. Having said that, I hope they do NOT list the witnessed signatures as "authentic" and the verified as "verified". That I can see causing confusion!!! I hope they either just put a note on the verified comics and just leave the label as is for witnessed, or use "witnessed" instead of "authentic". Why do I say this? Because I can see people thinking "authentic" means that the signature was verified as authentic and not witnessed. Hopefully, CBCS has thought of this scenario. |

| I know there hasn't been a big uproar about the lack of a conserved/restored color, but I for one wish there was one. I've been cruising through listings and saw an interesting CBCS book for a cheap price and couldn't figure out why until I looked at the label more closely. When I see a purple label I just keep on cruising. I trust CBCS enough to not really differentiate between a witnessed and verified signature but I don't like combining the two under the same color. Another way to think of it: labels are supposed to convey information as clearly and concisely as possible, and color coding adds to that. If CBCS really thought that the words on the label were clear enough, why have more than one color at all? |

| @xkonk I agree. I would prefer an easier way of distinguishing books that have been restored. As for the yellow label, the biggest "tell" will be the witnessed date. If I recall correctly authenticated signatures do not have that... |

| I like color coded groupings like this: Blue: Universal Purple: Restored or Conserved Yellow: Signatures: Witnessed or Verified I think Restored and Conserved are important enough to warrant a colour. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC See, I would disagree with that ... I would think "conserved" is closer to universal than it is to restored. "Conserved" just means things like tape seals that can be removed. Restoration is permanent. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tedsaid Restored is a modification/additive to the book to make it appear cosmetically nicer. Conserved is a modification/additive to make the book more structurally sound. To me, the motivation of the purpose for the modification/additive is less important than the fact that there is a modification/additive. I think that's why the label colour should be the same. But I get where you're coming from too. |

Can it be scratched? Really? It's plastic, not glass.  |

| @SteveRicketts It was asked in the regie (sp?) the body builder follow up video. But truth be told I have plastic that has gotten scratched and i even bought buffing polish specifically for plastic to try and clear up some scratches. so it does happen. Edit. The plastic was a display case. Not a graded comic. |
