| Friends, Thank you all for being part of this community and for your support over the years; it has truly meant a great deal to us. As of April 17, 2026, the CBCS message boards will be shutting down and CBCS will no longer be accepting new submissions. We know many of you have built lasting connections here, buying, selling, and sharing your passion with fellow collectors. Because of that, we wanted to provide advance notice ahead of the closure. Please take the next few days to wrap up any ongoing transactions or conversations. Access to Pop Reports, Order Tracking, and Grader Notes will remain available. We are incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm, loyalty, and sense of community you’ve brought to the forums over the years. It has been our honor to be part of your collecting journey. Thank you, The CBCS Team |

| That was the official announcement, but I want to take a minute to thank you all personally. We've had a lot of good times on here and I appreciate each one of you and your contribution to the hobby and our amazing community. This place certainly belonged to you and I'm happy to have been a part of it and to share our love of comic books. A bonus thank you to our amazing moderation team. Also to our Jesse. He is gone, but certainly not forgotten. |

| @SteveRicketts Thank you, Steve, and all the CBCS staff who popped up on the forum from time to time. I've enjoyed the time here. Truthfully, I'm not even sure whether I will have comics graded and pressed anymore. Both were top notch, in my experience, anyway, at CBCS. I'm really sorry to see it all come down. |

| I still can’t believe it’s coming to an end. This community has been a part of my daily life for over 10 years. We might not have tomorrow (or at least not after the 17th), but at least we had yesterday. To Steve and all the rest:  |

| It's been a blast. I might have to make some archives of some of the threads that were amusing. I wish all the best to the CBCS forumites as a good amount of us have migrated over to CS. I also wish the best to the CBCS staff. It sucks but there's only ever been two things in life that are certain. | ||

| Im sad that I spent more money buying comics this year so far that I could have gotten one last run with the house that Steve built. 🫣 |

| This was a nice place to check in on the coming and going of things. I never posted much. CBCS is the only place i have submitted to. You will all be missed! | ||

| Thank you Steve, all CBCS staff and all my Forum Friends. This has been such a wonderful place to learn/talk all things comic books. I started collecting comic books back in 68' and still I learned something new from this group. I wish everyone the best and hope PSA continues the high standards of CBCS. |
