| Hello again, friends of CBCS! About a ago we asked for input from our customers with the design of the new CBCS label. We did get a lot of suggestions, which we appreciate. We want to share our progress with you, and ask you once again to email any suggestions to labels@cbcscomics.com This is just the base design. We are going to make some adjustments to the size of some of the test on the label. Specifically, we will be making a slight increase in the size of the artist and key comment fields. Keep that in mind when you email us your suggestions. Thank you again for your support and assistance! We really appreciate it! Again, if the image is too small on the forum, visit our Facebook page for a larger image. www.facebook.com/cbcscomics  |

| (Positive) feedback provided via email. Liking this direction a lot. That red label is really nice, I am stoked to get one back in a (currently held) submission that would have likely gone to grading today. It's funny, I often get signature series for display, largely because I like the gold labels more. But I really dig the red in this design. |

| I suggest doing something to differentiate restored books though. Different color label would make life easier. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by SteveRicketts Well, it would make it easier to spot. It doesn't bother me one way or the other, but it would make it a lot quicker to identify the book as restored if the label was unique. |

| Makes it easier to differentiate from unrestored and restored books especially during the big online auctions when books are ending every 30 seconds or so. | ||

| email sent. looking good so far. I agree with a different color for restored. the different color foiled logo that matches the different series is pretty slick. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by JWKyle Judging by the 3 labels posted above, seems like that would be a "no". I personally think that is a good call, to note so is somewhat redundant. I also think the 3 labels outlined above look fine. I also do not think a change in label color is warranted, as long as "Restored" or "Conserved" is clearly noted on the front of the label...as CBCS has always done since their inception. |

Quote:Originally Posted by JWKyle Please keep labels with resto or conso the same color. We know how to read labels, and a different colored label on a resto or conso book will only bring stigma to that label, much the way PLOD has so badly hurt resto and conso books slabbed by the other company. |

Quote:Originally Posted by zosocaneI didn't say we couldn't read. Maybe a book deserves to have a stigma attached to it if someone took a razor blade or marker to it. |

Quote:Originally Posted by zosocane Maybe it's not that the CGC label creates a stigma, maybe it's just that the market for restored books is significantly lower. This, to me, reads like you're trying to catch buyers unaware to get more money. Even if that's not your attention, it could be the effect. |

Quote:Originally Posted by reggieb I have noticed anecdotally that restored CBCS do better than restored CGC books. On that basis, either there is a stigma with the plod, or people do not read labels when they flop good money on a book. I think the latter is more likely. Not really relevant, but most resto does not bother me if I know it is there and it is done well. I do not like trimming, which I would call a defect and not resto, but that is not the industry norm. |

| I'm not commenting on conservation some books need to be conserved . This is just for restoration , restorations only purpose is to make the book look better then it is by adding material whether it is paper,color, or some other material or removal of paper with a blade. It is to deceive people into seeing the book as a better grade. Putting these type of books in the same color of label that represents a all is good book just keeps adding to deception. | ||

| How many people have orders on hold? I have one that would be entering grading soon, but I just contacted them last week to hold for the new label. I had always planned to, but was holding out hope that it would be ready to go before the entered grading. I wonder if there is going to be a delay from the sudden rush of orders in to grading that are currently held. |
