Hi guys,

can we please get an update on magazine grading. I've searched the pages and pricing etc but cant find the following information. Got customers lined up to use this service when it goes fully live but have no solid info to provide them.

- Value or Premium - what ages/value constitutes each option?
- What are the dimensions available of magazines available for this service

Max size for the magazine holder is 8.75" x 11.3125".
I don't think we've released the prices yet.

A list of what they do and do not grade would be super!

I would guess that they will grade magazines that 1. Fit the dimensions stated above and 2. Abide by the guidelines they state under their comic book grading services.
I look forward to having some old Famous Monsters of Filmland issues slabbed. 😊

@cesidio I'm pretty sure it is 7mm (.276" ).
I'll check when I get back into the office in the morning and correct this if I am mistaken.


See corrected post below.

It'd be shame to spend money to ship say a Good Housekeeping (keep your Step Brothers jokes to yourselves) and find out that they don't grade it.

We will not be grading all magazines. We will give some guidelines when the service launches. We will not be doing non-comic genre magazines such as Playboy...and Good Housekeepimg for the foreseeable future.

If you have signed Playboys they will be eligible to go through Beckett authentication at some point, but will not be graded or certified by CBCS. I dont have any further details on that service.

And to correct my prior statement on the thickness, we will be able to do magazines up to .375" thick. Roughly 9mm.

Damn, I was hoping to get an old WWF NWO cover magazine I have graded/slabbed. It's in one of the older Beckett Cases and its even been signed by Hall/Nash/Hogan. I think it would look amazing in one of the newer CBCS cases.

I've mentioned this before but I think it would be a smart business move for CBCS to prioritize only Signature Verification submissions for the first 90 days or so. People needing that unique service that CBCS has a monopoly on will be more forgiving of long TAT's and any hiccups that come with the initial rollout. I think it would also be good PR to get as many of those older signed magazines into the market as quickly as possible.

That's disappointing but not surprising. Thanks for the info. I'm assuming raw grading is an option for before mentioned magazines?
