| I highly recommend those of you who have books slabbed in the new CGC holder (especially Golden Age/Silver Age books - pressed or not (especially pressed)) to take advantage of this offer, for the sake of the book and your piece of mind. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by SteveBorock Thanks Steve. I didn't meant to imply you were bashing them. I just don't think they will see it the same way.  I suggested about a week ago on here and on the CGC forum that had CBCS as an example of shutting the process down to get it right when your plastics issue came up. I also said CGC needs to do this now. Keep grading books but stop the encapsulation process until they can get this sorted out. They haven't and now they have this mess. What I've seen the past couple of days completely contradicts a conversation I had with Matt Nelson the other day. I think Matt is also a nice guy who is trying hard. But the cases posted recently are horrific as a comic collector. I've said it all along that I like both companies and don't want to make some choice of one over the other. But now I am in the same boat as others that I have to choose CBCS solely until CGC really announces this publicly and does something about it. |

Quote:Originally Posted by SteveBorock When you were trying the holder, how many books did you slab to see that the holder was not sufficient? Was it a small or large number? I wonder how many they tried with their new slab or do you think they tried just a few and then released the holder? On their website, I think the announcement for new holder was up for at least a month. That should have been sufficient time to have done quite a few books. Then the question is, did they knowingly release it with knowledge of the issues? I haven't been reasherching this issue and the only info I have is both on the CBCS forum and the CGC form. What percentage would you believe is affected by this new slab? |

Quote:Originally Posted by roarzola I can't say what CGC did or did not do. I do not work there or have any knowledge of their inner workings. I am going on what I have seen posted by others and, as I already mentioned, the many phone calls we received, the talks I have had with collectors & dealers, and the few we have seen in person. I will say that when I 1st heard some complaints about the new CGC holder, I told those people that it was probably nothing but a mistake as I was sure CGC did a huge amount of testing before releasing the new holder. Now I am not sure because it is too much like the "Fortress". |

| Just want to confirm that the books are going to be cracked out and regraded correct? This isn't a reholder type of submission, they will go through the same process as other raw books are submitted to CBCS. | ||

| A submitter is most likely going to expect CBCS to assign the same grade as the CGC grade. Especially if CBCS is assuming the risk in cracking books out of the new CGC slabs. | ||

| The 20% discount makes it somewhat reasonable. Would the discount still apply if the slabs were cracked by a presser, then the books forwarded with the labels from the new slabs? | ||

| From Steve Borock's statement on page 1: "CBCS is offering to re-grade any comic in the new CGC holder for 20% less than we would normally charge." * Bold is my emphasis |

| My guess is that pressing is a process done to remove some minor issues with a book which may be undermined by the possible damage that the new CGC cases can introduce | ||

| Is this a transfer of grade into the CBCS case or are they going to re-grade the book? | ||

| haha! Thanks @The_Watcher Man, hoping the CGC slab hasn't caused a down grade at all grrr. Still... better to go down from a 9.8 to a 9.6 and have it better protected than to leave it in that new CGC case for years only to have it go down to like an 8 or less! Thanks, see you CBCS folks on Friday at Awesome Con!!! Bringing a few books!!! |

| Why can't people see the regrade part of the statement? Is this one of them new optical illusions? | ||

| Yes. By all means. Offer a discount to draw more business in while you are running behind on promised turnarounds. On top of that, offer nothing to folks that submitted books at a time when every tier was reportedly on time, and then change that to a 5-7 business day delay while taking no action for your current customers. Yes, I am one of said customers. |

| I have 2 that just came today. The problem has not been solved. I want to resubmit these to CBCS. I'm afraid of any further damage due to the case, can I remove them and send just the label with the books in order to get the 20% | ||
