| HAHAHAHAHAHAH got another delivery exception from FedEx so I called and they said I should drive to a certain FedEx Pick-Up location which means I'm screwed because CBCS is closed again and they haven't taken a moment out of their busy schedules to call FedEx and give them my real name. Guess I'm going to pretend to be some Middle Eastern or maybe Hindi guy named Kabani. Thanks CBCS, you've been great. | ||

| I brought my 3 door tags (all with the wrong name), a utility bill and the jacked up emails from CBCS. A little magic sprinkled with heavy flirting and the lady felt bad enough to give me the package! Low and behold, the box has someone else's name and my address. Bottom line: I got my books and have decided that I will not be submitting to CBCS again. I have one last submission through Trinity Comics but beyond that I will be going next door for my grading needs. I've enjoyed the last year-ish with all of you on the forum and will miss all of you but I'm done. I will no longer support a company that has proven to me over the last week that the customer means very little to them. I wish you all the best and feel free to message me if you'd like to keep in contact through other means. Mahalo and keep on hunting! Edit: added pictures to help alleviate the sadness of my passing     |

| I'm glad you got your books, bro. Hopefully a CBCS rep will reach out to you to apologize & perhaps give some incentive to give them another chance. Either way, I can't blame you for taking your business elsewhere. Please check in from time to time. I'll miss seeing you here, @Thanatos. |

| When did CBCS stop using those nifty white boxes to ship comics? Not a fan of the newly upgraded packaging.  |

| Ti believe they dropped the white box when Beckett took over. And why do you need graders notes on 9.8s? Don't we all consider them 10s anyway...an actual 9.9/10 is like getting extra credit (A++). | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Drogio You’re probably right, but if it’s a 9.8 there’s a flaw. I’d like to know what it is. Why it didn’t get 9.9. With that said any 9.8 grading note I’ve see is something like tiny spine stress doesn’t break color or minor wear on bottom corner. Which is usually the same grader note I see on my 9.6s too. So in practice there’s not much difference. Still want them though. |

| Seems to me that there is widespread dissatisfaction with ALL of the professional grading companies. Is it an impossible task to please hard core comic book collectors? Are we too demanding and picky? Can we, and will we, ever be totally satisfied with a grading and encapsulating company? |

| @conditionfreak - Walt, all we want are reasonable prices (seriously, does it cost more to grade a comic from 1974 than one from 1975?), the fastest turnaround times, best communication, most tamper-proof but visually appealing slab (with built-in UV protection - I hear you Jacob), and the most accurate AND consistent grading. That’s all. | ||

| It seems what we're complaining about is what's been taken away...9.8 grading notes, low prices and a very high standard in shipping materials/packing. Not sure if the buyout by Beckett is to blame, but these all seem to have happened around that transition period. Not to say "just accept it", but companies are always looking at ways to keep costs down while taking a few risks and losing a few customers as long as it puts more $$$ in their revenues. |

| Could they be between stages with the inner-boxes? I'm hoping they're simply rebranding the boxes and they'll make a comeback incorporating the Beckett brand. Just a theory. |

| All companies and people go through growing pains. We all understand that. But I still do not like this Beckett aspect. Do I want my cupcakes from the local bakery or from Wal-Mart? I'll take the former please. I get the feeling (and it is only speculation based on experience), that a Beckett "business consultant" has entered CBCS and changing things to make a larger profit. That ALWAYS entails cutting frills and corners. Thus you lose the mom and pop store mentality and get the big box store model. Like I said. I know nothing about what is going on with CBCS, except what I read here and experience in the hobby. I agree with Themaxx35. Like many here. I am buying CBCS books submitted by others, instead of submitting my own, for the time being. Until things shake out and I see what is what. |
