| Not saying this will happen but for an additional 3.00 per graded card Beckett allows for a personalized label in their card grading/slabbing. That means you could set-up your own pedigree if it comes over here. That would be so sweet!!!! |

| Great news for CBCS! More capital to grow! Magazine sized molds now? Hopefully! When a name like Beckett acquires you it means you must be doing something right, in my opinion. Just hope they stick to what makes CBCS awesome and add even more awesomeness. | ||

| Dose this mean there will be four components to grading: Surface, Edges, Corners, Centering??? If centering becomes a grading criteria (for comic books), a lot of otherwise 9.8's will become 6.0's. |

| Beckett?? Really? Sure I used them in the eighties for sports cards but I heard nothing but poor things about them since. Makes me nervous. Anytime a larger company takes over a smaller company the smaller company tends to lose their ethics and quality. CBCS ethics' are what first drew me to the company...That Beckett label, yuck looks like the old CGC and PGX labels. Why do you need your company name across three fourths of the label and then squash all the books info in a little square...? Pretty vain. Can you tell I'm hesitant? lol I hope it works out. I love CBCS.  |

| Since CBCS has made no official announcement, maybe we should ask Donald Trump, this is probably all "fake news"! | ||

| Yikes - just read some reviews of Beckett - now taken with a grain of salt but not good. Might send in a few for verification then everything else back to CGC untill the dust settles - 2 to 3 years Oh my!!! I keep reading - Better Business Bureau - holy crap! |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| Hopefully good things! I wouldn't want CBCS to go away for a Becket grading Service for comics. Very fearful! I am attending LACC this weekend and this will make me think about my CBCS submissions (if I make any). | ||

| Not seeing any positives from this. Usually with a takeover employees get shuffled and prices are changed. | ||
