 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| I'd like to see the membership options revised to offer different coupons/rewards and a possible discount on the VSP. All of my submissions are more than 2 books at a time and I have no use for coupons that will speed up grading on 2 books that will sit there waiting for the rest of my submission for combined shipping. | ||

| Perhaps have a small percentage of the revenue from special signings go to the Hero Initiative? I changed my tune on signings. For a while, I agreed with those who thought they only slowed down the TATs of normal submissions. But after remembering how legendary creators like Gene Colan and Dave Cockrum had medical and financial hardships in their latter years, I'm all for creators getting a nice signing payday in their prime, because they can't work forever. (Like Jim Starlin who injured his hand). Having a bit of the proceeds go to a charity for comic creators gives submitters a good reason to be patient and reminds us that creators have real lives off the page, bills to pay, families to support, mistresses to keep happy, lawyers to hire so they can get a decent royalty from Marvel Studios, etc... |

| This is what I mean by slab only label vs. a graded label. I'd like the slab only label to contain all the same info as the graded label minus the grade. The examples are #4 slab only and #5 graded book of Avengers/Invaders. I couldn't find a #4 graded.   |

| My only gripe is customer service. In its current state there is no point in even trying to contact anyone unless you have a serious issue (damaged, mis-labeled, missing, etc) Love the new slabs. Can’t wait for magazine slabs. As others have mentioned; the new labels are missing something. Something seems off about them. Not sure what so it must not be a big deal. |

| I've only ever used CBCS and don't see that changing. The few times I've had any problems or questions you answered/solved the problem quickly. I love your cases and how I can trust your grading. If I had some wishes on things that could be better would be these few things: 1. Love your signing events...simply wish could have even more. 2. I would like to have a better idea where my comic is the process. Instead if simple received, grading,etc..Stages within steps so have more accurate idea...Just an idea That's my 2 cents at least.. |

| I see a few mentions of CBCS Canada. I know that the border closure is a major source of the issues but maybe updated TATs just for Canada or an additional tracking status - for example this coming week will be week 10 that I've been in 'ShipToCanada' there must be some portion of that where it was just waiting to leave Dallas and hadn't actually shipped? Maybe a "Preparing to Ship" and then once it is shipped then the 'ShipToCanada' - would also give us some expectation of how long that wait time is in 'Prepare to Ship'... I don't know..just frustrating when you know it's only a 22 hr drive |

| Personally, I like the labels. I consider them the info card next to a painting at the art gallery. You don't buy the painting because of the layout of the label, but you still want to get the info in a quick manner. From a logistics perspective, I imagine this one is infinitely easier/quicker/cheaper to produce as well. I definitely wouldn't do anything that impedes that. What I would like to see is to center the info, allowing a better read. The current label (top) has your eyes going back and forth between two areas, and then some centered info at the bottom. Center it all, so it reads top to bottom, which also leads the eyes directly down into the comic.  |

| Sketch opportunities along with signing events? So far during the pandemic I've used the sketch only option through CGC with Mr. Steranko and now JRJR. With the JRJR event CGC has us going into their signature series art holder but Mr. Steranko just mailed us the art. Would love to have a similar option with CBCS! Sketch opportunity to go into the the Art holder or even just the sketch without the holder - either would be great With no conventions this year in my region my only option is commissions when really all I want it a Head/Bust/Full body convention type sketch I think it would be a good option even without covid going on as not every artist makes it to shows everyone can attend p.s. maybe some smaller press type people... or even industry legends (60's-80's) who aren't tied strictly to CGC (too many names that I could put on my wish list!!) |

| Most of the stuff I would like to see has been mentioned. My biggest gripe is dashboard information or lack thereof. That's been mentioned quite a bit, though. That and a need for improved labels. Something I would like to see was mentioned already, but I would like to open it up a little more. I think it would help you out tremendously to open up your Authentic Signature Program. I think most of what you have are the mail in events. I think you could open up your ASP service quite a bit if you had more witnesses available in a regional area for LCS signings. Even if you did a volunteer service where the witness either got a convention pass or even better, a select number of books of their own to submit per event. I think making it more available would increase the interest in the company when more of those start hitting the secondary market. Of course you have the vetting process for your volunteers, but that's something that would be worked out. If you had someone available in multiple states that would be available for a LCS, it would also save on you having to send a representative from the main office. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Joosh I second this. The other guys sort of note it, but not really. They call the moderns $3.99 price variant rather than newsstand. CBCS took the bull by the horns and put the distinction between newsstand and direct edition on their labels, but it would be nice to see it carry over until the end of Marvel and DC's distribution. I rather have some of these modern newsstands in a CBCS slab versus CGC. The new slab design is phenomenal. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC The slab only option is just that, a way to protect and/or display your book at a lower price than grading. We would have to charge more to hire someone to program the new label and hire someone to input information. So, the question is, would you pay a lot more. Anyway, thanks for the input! |

Siggy private msg quote post Address this user | |
I loved how easy it was to open the older slabs (clips)  I felt so much more at ease while cracking. I think my last attempt at a CBCS cracking was tougher, but honestly can't remember. Depending on one's point of view, this all has its ups and downs. For books I keep slabbed I liked the old rivets labels. I think they'd have been better with the numerical font from the other [shown] label.   I kinda miss the old label discussions >whistle<. Too bad it [likely] isn't a simple process to have the design chosen by the submitter online with all past and present options available to mix like a PS3 Star Wars Lego character. I assume it wouldn't be as simple as entering the info when received, and when the time comes a quick barcode scan tells a printer what to do[?] Too 'magical', meaning too many variables to easily handle? |

Quote:Originally Posted by sborock I see. My apologies then. I thought all the label information for books was already in a database. I thought the only additional cost to CBCS was the additional ink used for the information. |
