| Steve Borock Joins MyComicShop as Senior Consignment Director Arlington, Texas, May 17 2022 Steve Borock, Co-founder and Head Grader of comic book grading company CBCS, will end his employment with CBCS May 19 and has accepted a new role at MyComicShop as Senior Consignment Director. Conan Saunders welcomes Steve: "We are very excited to have Steve join us! We count ourselves among the many fans and customers of CBCS's grading services, and have enjoyed seeing CBCS grow from the new kid on the block to one of the two foremost grading services for comics. Steve leads by example, and the integrity and focus on quality that he displayed at CBCS are just two of the reasons why we feel so fortunate to have him join our team. I'm sorry to be taking him away from CBCS, but I know that CBCS remains in very capable hands with West Stephan and his stellar grading team as well as their partners at Beckett." Steve himself has this to say: "I am excited to start this next step in my career working alongside my friends Conan and Buddy Saunders and the rest of the very capable team at MyComicShop! The fanboy in me is overwhelmed by this opportunity! Not only will I be helping collectors and dealers get top dollar for their prized comic books, but I get to work with Buddy and Conan to grow the one-of-a-kind company they've built!" Jeromy Murray, President and COO of Beckett Collectibles and CBCS, writes, "We are so proud of what Steve has built at CBCS. The business he has led is now well positioned for its next period of high growth in the expert hands of West Stephan, Daniel Ertle, Steve Ricketts, Paul Figura, and the entire comics grading team. All of us at CBCS and Beckett look forward to continuing to work with MyComicShop and with Steve in his new role and are excited to deepen the partnership in the coming years." MyComicShop is the world's largest comic book retailer and a leading platform for comic book consignment sales.

| Bummer. You are the reason I was giving CBCS a try in the first place. Well, a big part of the reason. Have to give CGC some credit for that too. Anyway, congrats to you for continuing to do the things you want to do. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| Happy for Steve personally! This WILL BE A HUGE BLOW TO CBCS AND THE TAT’s for sure . He was the only thing keeping CBCS CREDIBLE and HONEST. Now in the hands of non hobbyists and quality control will worsen for sure as well. Sad to see you go Steve, you were a huge asset to Beckett and CBCS , it’s a shame they (CBCS) could not pay you what you deserved for all your hard work keeping CBCS SURVIVING and then thriving pre and post Covid ! SHAME ON BECKETT for being so cheap and not retaining you for a lifetime ! Good luck ! |
