Yeah, I had asked about that a few months ago and Rickets told me that was not in the plan.
So all of my pedigree books go to the other guy.

Agreed. I was grading with the "hippie" just because I knew him. And knew him as the most experienced and knowledgeable grader in the biz. Labels never played a roll in that decision.

In a few years there will be more changes. As long as we don't go back to the rivets lol....

Your first statement is contradictory to your second statement.

I have one pedigree book that could be greatly improved upon. I wonโ€™t open it because Iโ€™d have to stroke someone else to do so.

Agreed. The label design is purely subjective. On the other hand if you polled 1000 people about those dumb serrations, I have to believe 98% would say "get rid of them". That does matter because it's unprofessional looking.

I can't see the serrations either. For sure, given the choice to have serrations or not, everyone will choose Not. But if not having serrations means an increase in slabbing cost, I'd choose to keep the serrations. To me, the serrations are fine enough to not be a big deal.

@Jesse_O @flanders Thanks for the photos.

The different labels for the higher grades doesn't surprise me. That is what Beckett does with their card grading.

I think this will give all the critiques about the label something to think about. Now the label IS the focus.

@Sagii I'd hold off shipping anything until they give a start date. Or, more likely, you hear through the grapevine that they are starting it. CBCS doesn't have a great track record of announcing, or keeping, start dates for anything. If I hear anything from reliable sources, I'll be sure to pass it on.

At least once in the past, they exhausted their in house supply of labels before switching. IMO, that's another reason to hold off right now.

I'm hoping a discount code accompanies the announcement....20% off grading fee: NEWLABEL code....I'd submit for sure.

maybe....I'm torn....the last few orders I've gotten back the CGC I didn't get hassled by FedEx...that alone might have me using them again..$50 to $70 ish bucks in shakedown after by FedEx offsets most of any discount...but there are always the verified books that only CBCS can do.....for now.....

I blame the forum gremlins. figment private msg quote post Address this user
Just got the email. It's official... I like the old "plain" ones better.

However, I think we still have one of the old rivet labels so I may take advantage of the $10 reholder.

Very smart move on the $10 reholder offer. Well done CBCS.

Collector HooperSchaefer private msg quote post Address this user
The info webpage is laid out nice. I especially like the slider for old vs new, lol.

Iโ€™ll most likely take advantage of the reholder offer, but unsure how many books. Definitely at least the one CBCS 9.9 I have.

Honestly, I was really satisfied with the last refresh. But I understand that people who want the grade to be a focal point probably outnumber those like me (or at least are louder online).

You would think they would have high definition samples of their new 9.8, 9.9 and 10 labels, but here they are regardless.
