| In all seriousness, I would hope they are using case fresh virgin mylar on these for a great many reasons. | ||

| I love this idea. If the price for raw grading by CBCS is $10 or under, I would welcome it. Particularly at conventions, or when buying from reputable dealers. Sure, I would be happy to pay a little extra ($10 or less) for another grade, particularly from a disinterested third party grader. And there are a ton of raw books that I have that I've graded, but I don't want to shell out $45 or so to have them slabbed, so this is a nice middle-of-the-road alternative. I think the market will accept this over time. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DarthLegoWhy? Let’s help the environment. Submissions I sent to CBCS had comics in Mylar bags that were like 1 month old, looked brand new. Why throw all that away? Just like recycled cans I'm sure they can devise a way to clean the Mylars. |

| I doubt they throw them away. We have something at work where items that can be reused at home can be purchased for $1 per item with a "scrap ticket". | ||

| @KingNampa I'm sure they are already recycling their plastic bags from submissions. You don't have to reuse in order to recycle. If you want me to list reasons why it's a bad idea I will? | ||

If a company launches a new product you have no interest in, why would you then stop using their already existing products? Only logical answer is you didn't use their products in the first place and are trolling for a rival company you are beholden to.  |

It would appear that the mods would rather this thread not get off track by discussing certain banded members. |

| There is obviously a lot of concern about the potential for fraud. If people have found ways to tamper with slabs, how much easier is this going to be? | ||

| @Foghorn_Sam I'm still waiting for someone to disassemble and reassemble a CBCS slab without tamper evidence and put it on YouTube. Until that day I have faith in their slabs being tamper evident. | ||

| I'm waiting on the developers to tell me they've flipped the switch to turn the submissions on. As soon as I get the word, I'll push the button to send the newsletter. I'm headed home. Hopefully they'll have it ready by the time I get there. |
