The reaction we received on that label was not favorable, so there was a complete redesign overnight before we ever even received this label from the printer. Aside from a couple of sheets, all of them were trashed upon receipt. Only one of them was actually put into a case for us to see internally. That slab is somewhere in my personal collection.

This thread is a good archive.

I'll add another little-known tidbit. You're aware of the first and second generation CBCS slabs.
Did you know there was yet another unique CBCS slab that was created and discarded BEFORE the G1 slab?
It's actually tied to the logo on the label in the quoted label above.
The CBCS logo was engraved into the actual slab.

I don't believe this....and I know you don't care that I don't believe this. 82.17K	82.17K GAC private msg quote post Address this user	plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 0

The CBCS slab right now is perfect but adding that engravenent would be so super cool. I really love this!! Serial # is awesome too!! The very first CBCS slab!!! The photo makes it look better than it does in hand. It looked cheap once we got them in and we immediately scrapped them and recorded cases without the logo. Not many of them survived the purge. That's too bad because the picture does make it look very cool....you guys know what you're doing because the CBCS Slab and Label progression have always, for the most part, (exception: rivets label) been an improvement. I'd love to have one of those engraved slabs in my collection though. I appreciate those photos, Thanks Steve,

	@SteveRicketts So, any new updates planned for the current label? Maybe get some with flames, lasers, or lightning bolts on them.

	Now that engraved CBCS logo is so cool! Would be interesting if that would be brought back if another slab revision occurs in the future.

For a second there, I was wondering why Obama would have signed ASM # 75, and then realized what was going on. I love the engraved logo! While I'm sure the execution wasn't to your expectations once in hand, it would have been really cool to see, or eventually again.
