| I looked quickly but didn't find an answer to my question. What materials are used for the raw graded books? Mylite2 with fullbacks? Do they just send them back in the same bag/board combo I sent them in with? What's the dilly? That said, if I send books in for pressing, for example to CFP, what are they put in afterward before being sent on further for grading? @CFP_Comics? I'm thinking of having a bunch done and this wouldn't sit well with me if the materials weren't the best. Thanks a bunch! |

| In my opinion, I would just use what's available. The books are not going into long term storage. They are going to the graders and will be disposed of as soon as they are cataloged. They just need to be safe during transport. | ||

| I mean, when CBCS grades the book and puts it into their bag/board with the sticker, what do they use? I don't mean what should I ship it in. Sorry for the un-clarity. |

| They use a mylar bag and a white backing board. Here is the info from thr CBCS website. I looked at the ones listed on eBay and they all have white backing boards. "Books graded using the Raw Grade service are evaluated, graded and placed in a Mylar bag with a backing board. The grade is displayed on a sticker that is adhered to the front of the Mylar bag. The bag is also sealed with two tamper-evident stickers on the back. The stickers are not tamper-proof. We only guarantee that the book returned is the book sent in and that the grade given was the grade assigned at the time of evaluation. As of May 2020, every Raw Grade submission will be checked for restoration and conservation. If any work is discovered, the word "Altered" will appear on the sticker label. Only with a regular submission will the details of the restoration or conservation work appear on the label. It is strictly an evaluation of the book’s condition at the time of grading. The Raw Grade service is not meant to provide long-term protection for comics. Customers wanting to have their books graded and protected should utilize our traditional grading service." |

| They are not put in the same bags/boards you sent them in. The website says mylar, as to what product is, they are not more specific. I haven't really examined the RAW Grade books I've come across but I do believe it is a full-back. That said, CBCS specifically mentions that the service is not intended for long-term protection. If you are sending a book to an outside presser and that presser submits the book to CBCS for you then it will (most likely) stay in the bag it was received in until it enters grading and is then bagged in the final RAW Grade container. |

| I don't work for them and I don't know the internal processes so I could be wrong, but I would imagine they dont put it in a bag and board. Too much time wasted I would imagine it just get put in a bin until its ready to be encapsulated. Can you imagine putting the books in a a bag and board only to be discarded after being used for a few days max? That would be a lot of waste. Plus you run the risk of damaging the books putting it the bags and boards again. Edit Again, I don't work for them. And I don't know the processes, to me it just seems like a lot of wasted time and effort |

| I was hoping someone who has actually used the raw grade service would mention how they came back. I think I'll just go with the slab anyway after looking at this list I put together. Thanks tho! |

They come in Mylite 2 with fullbacks. They present nicely, See photos below. I had one book get the "Altered" designation. It really sucks because without any details the book is stuck in Limbo. How do you sell an Altered (restored) book without knowing what the alteration is? Also a few times I had books grade high enough that I wish I had just paid for slabbing.    |

| Thanks a lot @EbaySeller, much appreciated. I have a bunch of books that are worth knowing the grade but just not the extra 60% to have fully slabbed. On top of that, it's a whole lot easier to box up a book just in a bag and board. I don't have a lot of space. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Reelgee Yeah, I can't really crack the code on how they choose the bag size. Some bags seem to be Golden Age and some Silver Age without apparent reason. The back looks the same as any bagged comic with a backing board. |
