| The info webpage is laid out nice. I especially like the slider for old vs new, lol. I’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.       |

| You are not going to get a label free of a serrated edge without added cost. Any fed, computer printed, tearable laser document is going to have some form of serrated edge. To me, complaining about a tear away serrated edge is the veey definition of making a mountain out of a mole hill. | ||

| I wouldn't mind getting my three 9.9's re-holdered, but I just don't want to chance them not coming back as 9.9's in case anything at all happens to them either in transit or during processing. | ||

Nuffsaid111 private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I happen to disagree and feel the one aspect that remains ugly, and universally considered ugly; as well as many feeling amateurish, is the serrations. Label designs are, imo, the mountain out of a mole hill since there is considerable subjectivity with like/dislike of various design concepts. And I'd love to see the cost differential in 2023 with no serrations. I don't tend to think it is very much at all. But granted it "could" be an issue; not it "is" an issue just because it is stated to be one from a consumer. |

| @Nuffsaid111 I could be wrong but I suspect the only way to get rid of the serrated edge is via a blade cut. This would happen by cutting the existing serrated edge in-house or having the labels pre-cut by the supplier. Either one of those ways would impact any process in the network, at and after, the label step and either require different/special equipment or additional labour either in-house or from the label supplier....my guess is there would be a financial impact to the total cost...how much? no clue, but to me, it doesn't sound negligible...but, I could be wrong. | ||

| So maybe I just missed it but what is the significance of the "gold" grade numbers? Is that only for 9.9 and 10? If so, I guess it's intended to indicate the best of the best (according to grading standards). |

Nuffsaid111 private msg quote post Address this user | |
| Yep - hear ya. I'm in big business for close to 40 years. I am not one that doesn't understand the concept of design changes and their associated costs. I head/manage engineering design changes in my business (including our labels on our products). Which is why I am questioning this. It's 2023 and I find it peculiar/odd/strange that with the technical capabilities in this world that a freakin' label can't have serrations removed in a low cost manner. It's been the subject of humiliation & laughter around boards for years. In the end, I personally don't really care. It's not my business. It's Becketts. But if it were my business and I knew the mocking over the many years due to unprofessional serrations on labels, I'd be damn straight and determined to find a low cost method to eliminate and appease the OCD lunatics over at CGC who will continue mocking this aspect. |

| My $50 shipping label printer blade cuts each label perfectly as it comes out. No serrations, no chips, no hangnails. Yeah, couldn't be done. Impossible with current technology. |

| @Nuffsaid111 I guess it just boils down to the mindset of the decision-makers on serrated edges...is it a priority and does the fix justify the expense. | ||

GAC private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @chester15 I don't think anyone said it was impossible or couldn't be done. Also, there is a big difference between cutting labels on an adhoc basis versus adding a new process into an already established, continuous process. I'm not saying it can't be done....it's just not as simple as saying to do it simply because the technology exists and with little to no cost impact. Clearly, it is possible to do. | ||

| I just checked a CGC label, no serrations, very schmooooth. Looks like they cracked the code. I wonder how long ago, how many years CBCS is behind. Maybe they can buy some new equipment with the soon-to-arrive reholder money. |
