 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. | ||

 CBCS Pressing
|
SteveRicketts private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I appreciate the support, as well as the concern for what this will mean for CBCS, so let me just say this… In almost four years CBCS has created huge changes in the hobby. We’ve had good ideas and brought on many innovations (many of which were executed better than others), but we have never been satisfied without trying something new and pushing the envelope a little further every time. It has not only made CBCS better, but it has created a drastic change in our competition. In the end it has given our hobby better products and more options. And we did this with just a handful of people and very limited capital and resources. The labels will not be changing. The same faces, and probably many new ones, will be involved. What this will give us is access to resources to get things done, and to push the envelope even beyond what we originally thought possible. Now imagine what that handful of people can do with resources. Fasten your seatbelts. I can assure you that the Beckett/CBCS crew is very excited about this! |

| @SteveRicketts So we won't see a name change on the labels, Beckett Comic Grading (BCG), perhaps? |

| Let's be optimistic and wish CBCS well. If this deal improves CBCS, it's great for consumers. | ||

| @SteveRicketts Thanks for adding your two cents. Like many here I am hopeful that we get some welcome changes (like magazine grading, etc.) without losing other things like the high level of customer service we have been spoiled with. My fingers are crossed. |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics Ugh. You are glossing over the fact that Beckett will have absolutely nothing to do with how CBCS operates as a business. Beckett has it's own parent company, to boot. CGC has it's own parent company, for that matter, if I am not mistaken. In any event, the acquisition of Beckett will change absolutely nothing WRT CBCS's business model. CBCS is not going to change a thing, with their label design. Not a SINGLE THING. There will never be any "personalization" on CBCS's label notes. That is ridiculous, Beckett and CBCS both know that.That would devalue the CBCS name brand. Beckett simply knew they could buy CBCS BECAUSE they have the capital to do so, and recognized the potential for long term profits. In turn, CBCS would have much more capital to grow. Beckett' s buy of CBCS will pay off financially, in the long run, for Beckett. This will , in turn, grow CBCS's share of the graded comic book msrket. |

| Maybe I missed something here (I'm good at that). Does this mean that CBCS was sold to BECKETT or did they join them? BECKETT needs CBCS NOT the other way around. What's the story here!! | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by KingNampa Have you never watched a SINGLE episode of AMC's Mad Men? That is my source for my statements. That, and slinging funny books for half of my life ..makes it is not too difficult to read between the lines. This is Marketing 101. Borock said as much, in the press release, issued by Beckett earlier today. Read the full press release, than apply what I have said to what we know about CBCS. Again, to reiterate. Beckett is owned by a parent company that owns multiple businesses, in multiple industries. When Beckett was acquired by it's parent company, Beckett grew into one of the two biggest third party sports card grading firms. Read the full press release. Than look at Bennett's stock price on the N.Y.S.E. , which spiked around at around 11AM- noon today i.e. when the press release of the acquisition of CBCS by Beckett, was issued. |

| not sure about the financials but a CGC buyout is probably off the table. Wouldn't want to but PGX due to poor industry reputation - may as well start your own rather than buy PGX. |

| http://www.beckett.com/news/beckett-expands-into-comics-market
acquires-comic-book-certification-service/ CGC is much more entrenched in the graded collectibles market than CBCS. CGC has sister companies that grade other collectibles i.e. coin, cars, lobby poster and so on. CGC has about an 11 year jump on CBCS. There is no reason for CGC to be acquired by a larger outfit.CGC and it's sister companies already control a large segment of the third party grading collectibles market (not just comics). There is ample reason for CBCS's decision. CBCS wants to lessen the effects of CGC's 11 year jump start over CBCS. To do so, more effectively, they need more financial backing...which is what CBCS now has. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CopperAgeKids No disrespect taken. I'm old school and don't like (too much) change. I see BECKETT as a sports grading company only NOT a comic book grading company. I also see higher prices and lower quality in grading. But I don't own CBCS so it's not up to me on how the business is ran. I'm not a fan of CGC nor PGX, so I'm stuck with this whether I agree with it or not. This is just my opinion. |
