| I'm not concerned about any of this. If Collectivus was behind the vsp promo, it sounds like they know how to market and generate revenue when things slow down. I may eat my words, but I don't see them having a ton of qc issues, especially when PSA is going to enter market and they need to be even more competitive. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Sigur_Ros Who cares? Either submit your books or don't. Deciding to submit books or not based on a post or two by someone who's exhibiting extremely disgruntled ex-employee demeanor probably isnt the best strategy, but again, their your books, and I don’t care. All that said, I do find it to be in poor taste when someone comes to a business owned chat board and shits on the business, the people who still work there, and the people who are theoretically still his “friends." It's my opinion that he's asking for what he gets. Maybe Beckett did screw him over, but this isn't the place to discuss that and nor are we the audience that needs to hear it. No business run forum would allow that on their web site, and they shouldn't. Furthermore, if you don't like it here, or find the moderation too oppressive, then maybe you should give this forum a try, https://discord.gg/XJSE57h8 It might be more what you're looking for in a chat setting. Cheers.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders I'm not familiar with the world of cards...is PSA the card grading leader and that is why so much hype around them entering the comics world? If they do all they need is to make sure their holder is dimensionally the same as the existing market standard. I thought I saw some mock up and it was larger? |

Quote:Originally Posted by ComicNinja0215 yeah..that's insane My storage solutions are built around a certain size. I'm happy to jump between grading solutions (when quality is approximately the same) but not so much a whole different size format |

| If CBCS is rebranded as Beckett in the future, I stand by my suggestion of Beckett Book Certification (BBC) or even better, Beckett Book Certification Services (BBCs). | ||

| So, I am too tired to watch Swag's video this year. But I bet this is all tied into the Global Growth CEO's fraud conviction. He borrowed $100M against BCS, and I bet when it all shakes out the owners of Collectivus (stupid macron diacritical marks and all) will be the creditors who hold that note or notes. I think leaving current senior management in place is a smart decision. Nobody asked me, but if I were the new organization, I might try and leverage the positive reputation of some of my brands to boost the others. BCS graded cards should have Dragon Shield branded slabs, for example. Only time will tell. I'm still of the opinion that CBCS is the only intelligent choice for comic grading. |

| I wonder if this could be a precursor to the holding company being publicly traded? Would be interesting to see the financial disclosures to determine how successful the hobby is overall. |
