Is there a link to CBCS addressing this concern? I took a chance, I felt, with CBCS at my LCS behest and now I am alittle concerned.

Thanks.

As well you should be

Would offering to pay the re-holder fee resolve this?

One thing I have learned over the past 3 weeks. My definition of "completely secure" is not the same as other people.

Things that concern me going forward.

1) That CBCS actually comments on what has been pointed out as a glaring QC problem that allowed slabs to leave their building which had zero heat seals touching the labels (which we now know is the only easily visible tamper evident feature of the CBCS slab).

2) Does CBCS intend to do anything to mitigate those potentially compromising slabs being in the marketplace, like a reholder discount program?

3) How does CBCS plan on improving the tamper evidence of its products going forward. Because now that the ability of the outer shell being easily and cleanly opened is public knowledge, relying on the current heat seal fix just isn't good enough in my opinion.

Personally I have decided to cease all CBCS slab activity, both submissions and purchasing of slabs from the marketplace, until these 3 questions get answered to my satisfaction.

I would use them. It looks like they'll expire before you get an answer.

This is a pretty good idea...would simply need to ensure that the 'inner' serial number is visible but doesn't ruin the aesthetic of the case.
