West Stephan is the main man in grading now.

He was with Steve since they were at CGC many moons ago.
Rest assured we have a stalwart at the reigns.

Steve, I’m sad you are leaving CBCS but relieved you’ll be where I consign my CBCS books. I’ll bet it really is a dream job.
Congratulations!
MCS and their top notch website is highly responsible for getting me back into the hobby in 2016.

I was not aware of that West was also at CGC all those years ago - that does help calm nerves that the grading will remain of the highest quality.

Maybe I will see you there.


@EbayMafia I can picture you (even though I have no idea what you look like) calling Steve at all hours of the night about your consignments as if he's Jake from State Farm.

I've spent years perfecting my brand of assholery. DrWatson private msg quote post Address this user
Surprised, but not surprised. I suppose it's a little bit about raising a child. At some point, they have to stand on their own without being carried.

MCS is at the brink of an explosion of business where the consignments and auctions are concerned. I'm excited to see what happens.

Masculinity takes a holiday. EbayMafia private msg quote post Address this user
I’ll be sure to pour one out for Stu tonight. Looks like the loss of Steve sent him over the edge. I wouldn’t ban a guy like that though. If I had Mod powers I would be having too much fun changing up his Username and Moniker on him from time to time. He would something like Lonelygirl1947.

Ima gonna steal this and look for some occasion to use it! IronMan private msg quote post Address this user
@EbayMafia
"Lonelygirl1947".....Now I wish I had used that name..

@sborock
I'm saddened to think of you not helming the CBCS ship but if you look forward to this change I'm happy for you. It is good to hear you plan to stay active on the message boards here.

Does Pam plan to continue to work at CBCS?

Don't worry. I'm pretty sure he will slip another shill account by, if he hasn't already.

It just came to mind that if MCS ever chose to get started in the comic slabbing industry, with their unmatched level of professionalism and customer service, the other guys would be in deep trouble.

Steve ~ This takes me back to June of 2014 when Norman called me with "...did you know that your friend Steve Borock is opening up a new grading company?" I listened to the doubters and theorists then threw my grading lot in with you/CBCS. You proved them all wrong in a classy and professional way.
MCS, the Saunders' and you will make a formidable team.
Best of wishes to you and your new colleagues.

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 !


Do you have a link to something detailing this? I didn't see it in the announcement.

Steve (I don't feel like I need to be formal now), it was my pleasure to pass a few tpb's onto you. I think Gert is coming back sometime soon as well.

PS: you better not mess with the raw grade books at your new place!
