| Labels are like picture frames and generally you want a decent frame on a picture. CGC has always had a better looking label, in my opinion, and I think the newer label design looks much better and on par. The old CBCS labels are so plain. My opinion. | ||

| I like how the op started the post with the hey look at the new cbcs label and it’s of a poorly blurred photo or photoshopped blurry image and just dropped it there and everyone just accepts that it’s a real thing. Maybe it is maybe it ain’t but I wouldn’t worry to much about it until it’s officially announced. | ||

| Neither company offers an ideal product for presentation (IMO). I’d prefer no visible label on the front OR an etched label option that is discrete. Get rid of the top label space entirely and it would: 1) Emphasize comic art front and >>>center<<< 2) Allow more traditional framing options Custom frames for fine art regularly run into the hundreds or thousands. But they complete the piece for presentation. My option above could be offered with premium UV resistant materials and be priced at a substantial premium. Edit: not suggesting scrapping the mass market slabs. But they should offer an alternative. |

| ...idk, I kinda like it. I've always liked the original label best, but the current one has grown on me over time. But.... Aside from 'the competition gets higher returns', 'I don't like the label' seems to be the #1 gripe about why collectors I've spoken to don't submit to CBCS. I think it's cool, and if this could move the needle and make a book pop more in a holder when compared to the other guys, I say go for it. CBCS is making moves, much heavier IG presence even, with high quality videos, magazine case, faster turnarounds, etc. Need that extra oomph to make a splash and grab the headlines on you tube and the cons and IG. New label is probably just what the doctor ordered. Now let's see if those hesitant folks put their money where their mouths are once it's launched.. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC I like the grade font on this one the most. It really stands out and is far more esthetically pleasing than the solid black generic font. Why on earth did they make a change that appears amateur? (rhetorical) I'm also one of the few, or couple, that didn't mind the rivets label. |

| If you check out the previews for the next HA signature auction, the cats out of the bag! Major major key in an 'ahem' interesting standout slab.  Get the announcement going guys! Good times ahead! Lots of buzz in my IG collectors dm group chat. |

If you mean this label. I'm not a fan. I get the need to appeal to the CGC fan boys but I'm in the belief "If it ain't broke. Don't fix it" |

| In this digital age one wonders why label choice and customization is so difficult given that it could be yet another profit center if done well. | ||

| Probably a quick way to boost revenue. If this results in a tiny incremental percentage of OCD patients, woops, I meant hobbyists, to resubmit already slabbed books, then mission accomplished. If it results in a tiny incremental percentage of "Only CGC'ers" to now also submit to cbcs a bit, then mission accomplished As for the rest of us who care about quality and accuracy and are going with CBCS already, we'll just eat crow for a moment and forget anything happened in a year. |

| @Belarak I hope that's not what they came up with. I'm all for optional labels, especially for Pedigree books. But that is nothing to get excited about at all. | ||

| I'm sure there will be many who don't like it, goes with the territory I really like it, and im.sure this will bring in some business from CGC. Maybe not all total swap over, but regular CGC submitters could be inticed to send maybe 5 to 15% of their business to CBCS if the label (and not resell profits, or thinking case was inferior) was the main reason they never submitted. Time will tell. I'm making a mark in my calendar to revisit this a year now from after many books have been on the market. Can't wait for the You Tube comic centered channels to start doing pieces on this. Either way, CBCS has people talking. Yes, I am mostly a CGC guy, but I do send CBCS some.business as well. I am a firm believer in competition/options |

James42 private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I feel like the font looks off. Like it's pinched or squeezed; the height of the characters in relation to the width and spacing is too tall. It's legible, but not what my eyes particularly want to look at. Still don't like the arrow. I do think making the entire grade end of the label white is a positive change, making the numbers "pop" over the old monocoloured label without being a blatant copy of the CGC floating box. Won't stop me from submitting to CBCS. The label is the least important part of the grading question. |
