CBCS Announces New Service "Raw Grade!"2164

@RJP Raw Grades should have a blue grade sticker on the front lower right corner and two CBCS logo stickers sealing the back mylar flap witch are tamper evident. If you are not seeing what I described they probably made a mistake and did not grade the books that failed the screen.

Thanks! Sounds like they weren't graded properly. I'll give customer service a call tomorrow. Thanks again!

This is a potential suggestion for any CBCS employee(s) that might see this. I haven't read every post in this thread, so hope this isn't redundant. Anyway, I very much like the idea of the raw grade, but it would be significantly improved if there was a check for restoration included. Perhaps you could have the person doing the grading spend a couple of minutes looking for signs of obvious restoration. Then, if none is found you could include a notation stating something simple like "A brief examination reveals no obvious signs of restoration."

I suggested early on that including the resto check would help with the price point.

No sigs. Just grades.


I would love to see a yellow label option for Raw Grades. Many customers want to buy a signed book and also want to read it (especially on Modern books). A lot easier for the customer to crack open a Raw Grade than a slabbed book.

I know we would use this option more often especially when we have in-store signings.

That is a good idea as well. Maybe once they have done the Raw grading for a while, they can add other services like the signature services.

I think a brief restoration check would attract a lot of takers. I can spend two minutes looking at a book myself and have a very good idea about restoration. They could specify that it is not an in-depth check to cover themselves, but I bet they would catch 90+ pct. of restorations.

I'm sure part of not doing these things is they don't want to cannibalize their slabbing services, but I think these types of services would add to their bottom line not subtract from them. It would also help further differentiate CBCS from CGC.
