| @Happyfacecomics I respect peoples right to have opinions and voice them. But a forum that is owned by CBCS is not an appropriate venue for this crusade. I don't respect that people should have access to any venue of their choosing for their free speech and opinions. However, if the moderators choose to let the crusade continue on a forum that is built and paid for by CBCS, intended to be an asset to CBCS...so be it. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics Steve Borock WAS the reason I threw my--limited--lot in with CBCS. It seems likely that him leaving will prompt me to do so too. This is not how I envisioned CBCS evolving. My own personal gripe is primarily the apparent disregard towards me as a loyal customer. |

| My apologies to the forum - but @GAC HAS BEEN poking my post and stepping on my opinions which are appreciated by others and obviously not by him . I don’t say anything about his post or have never attacked him. However , I’m open for discussion if he wants to reach out and discuss how to make CBCS better working environment (better pay) and a better system of communicating with their customers . |

| My motives are purely to protect my large investment and the integrity of the HOBBY of comics. I love the hobby , I love collecting, and I loved Steve being the president of CBCS and being available. Now we have no one we trust at CBCS and the lack of transparency or leadership does not help the hobby or the people who have invested in CBCS PRODUCT. (SLABS) @GAC I have 250,000 reasons to be upset and voice my concerns and just maybe - just maybe - if enough people voice their collective displeasure we can make a change here at CBCS |

| @Happyfacecomics so let me get this straight...you're trying to help CBCS by tearing them down every chance you get? By reporting old news about Greg Lindbergh? By supporting others who tear down CBCS with "peanut gallery" posts like "another satisfied customer"?.....this is how you're helping? Instead of highlighting what's positive about CBCS...showcasing your $250K CBCS collection...constructively criticizing CBCS...being an ambassador instead of a detractor? | ||

| WHAT IS POSITIVE ANOUT CBCS RIGHT NOW ? The fact that they hosed thousands of customers who submitted in 2021 and now have to wait behind the guaranteed express tiers ? So CBCS took the money in 2021 and cares so little about them, that’s it’s ok service the new customers who pay the new tier prices and forget about the customers who carried them pre- Covid ? That’s good news ? What is the good news ? Steve leaving ? Is that good ? Why doesn’t CBCS DUE there job and answer the dam phones !!! Why don’t you answer the dam phones when people call? Or are you so busy collecting a paycheck and typing on this forum - Dinis all a favor and go back to work and lease Get those submissions form June of last year done before a Submission from last week? Where is the good news @GAC Maybe you should continue to spread the propaganda that all is well at CBCS? Your president bailed on you because of the ownership group ! What part of that you s good news ? |

| I can do this all night @GAC GO TO BED ! Your loyalty card is well noted - but then again the crew lied to the passengers of the Titanic as she was sinking . So did GAI (Global Authentication INC) and I see a lot of similarities between the hat happens to them and what is happening to CBCS - MANY OF MY friends and myself lost $$$$$$$ when they went into bankruptcy and finally closed the Doors without retuning 85% of the cards they had in house and Paid for - hundreds of thousands of dollars in cards not returned and dissolved into bankruptcy and new owners lack of integrity. Again @GAC people want to know there books are safe - pick up the phone and tell them ! |

| I thought you Canadians were non violent people ? If you sent A diamond ring for an appraisal and a Cleaning , would you wait a year to get that item back ? ( if they told you 4 weeks for appraisal and cleaning ) Why is this any different . Some of my comics are worth more then diamond rings , Imagine if Zales treated their customers like CBCS ? Do Uou think they would be in business to long ? Imagine calling Zales And they don’t pick up the phone . Don’t k ow where your ring is , and don’t know when they will get it back to you ? Would you accept that ? |

| If the telling people the truth is “having an agenda” then I guess the 350 books I have sitting there paid for were all a ruse? | ||

| I don't believe that a total collapse of CBCS will destroy the value of existing slabs. The market knows that those books were generally graded accurately and consistently. I'm gonna have to agree that there is a risk of the market attaching a stigma to books graded after Steve's departure. CBCS needs to be sold, fairly quickly, to someone willing to invest some TLC and take on the challenges that the company faces. | ||

| Yes, they forgot to get Simmonds to sign the books. March 13 I received an email from CBCS and they told me that they would be in Dallas on March 15 and are going to be signed at an upcoming event. They created a 2nd invoice as a result and shipped half of the order to me. I just wanted someone from CBCS to communicate with me. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia Why would there be a stigma against the books graded after his departure? I thought after they bought him out he, more or less, was just a figurehead for the company. Is there a stigma for CGC books graded after his departure from there? I don't think the majority of slab buyers know who the hell Steve is, nor do they care. They care more about the number on the top left corner on the book, and not who runs the company. |

| @GAC that’s ok, I feel bad because I wasn’t trying to create controversy. I was hoping someone could provide me with how to get someone from CBCS to give me an update on my order since they are signed. I am cringing at the fact that I have books for autograph verification that I dropped off at fan expo in Philadelphia. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by nrvn77 I think it was easy to hijack the thread because everyone (people who like CBCS and people who don't) all believe you probably won't get the help you're looking for anyway. They should have an employee monitor the forums and get answers for people. Happy is correct that the staff is very active in the contest threads and "on my desk" threads but when people are trying to find out important things, like what happened to their membership benefits after the price hike/tier restructuring, they completely ignore it. The good news... My 35 book "17 week TAT" submission just returned, 2 weeks short of a year from the day I mailed them. I'm hesitant to look at the slabs after all the scuffing on my last batch, but at least they returned them to me. So, just trust that despite the non-existent customer service they will return your books some day. Try not to worry. |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia I don't even think Steve leaving will have a stigma for books graded after him - West was a Steve acolyte from the very early days at CGC and is now head at CBCS (in my mind that says standards are the same) - the issue again is the awesome CBCS communication!!! Why after Steve left did they not at the very least have a press release or mass e-mail to everyone in their data base to introduce us to West?? (I had to scour the interweb to get a little info) I can get maybe not social media interviews - maybe the guy doesn't feel comfortable in front of the camera - fair enough - but at least send a release with pertinent info!!! Come on CBCS - do better!!! |
