It looks like they are. You can send your CBCS raw graded books to them for a CVS stciker

What real value does this add to the slab? If any.

Let's see....we have a third party grade it for us.....and then we need another third party to tell us it look good in the slab?

Huh?

Doesn't make any sense.

Does CVS add any value at all, except by giving out a professional "I LIKE IT!" remark?

Sounds like it really isn't beneficial at all.

Aside from several books from World Wide having the sticker. I personally don't know any individual who's sent books in to them.

I know I wouldn't waste my time or money on it.

Just the fact they are still in business is mind boggling.

@ZosoRocks according to CVA "A CVA endorsement adds value for anyone interested in the CGC graded comic book market,"

It must only apply to CGC slabbs only. Not to CBCS. Lol.... So a I guess I should start charging people for hashtags. Is that the way it works?

Why would anyone want to pay for this service? I can make that same sticker on my computer in 5 minutes. $25 for a sticker?? Lol

Doesn't CBCS already do this with the "Checkmark" "*" thing they apply to grading? Meaning it has better eye appeal than grade.

@KingNampa CGC also has it's own version of the checkmark (I think it was a star?), which makes the CVA service doubly irrelevant and unnecessary.

If I send them my Iron Fist it will be the Exceptional Ultimate Edition. Maybe get Stan Lee to sign it and make it the Exceptional Excelsior Ultimate Edition!

So I emailed these guys yesterday and they replied that they do sticker CBCS books, that they had some in a recent ComicLink auction and that turn around time is one week.

In case any one needs exceptional books.

Who needs someone to view their books and tell them they look exceptional for the grade assigned? Ray Charles?

Perhaps, but do the stickers come in brail?
