| On site grading is the number one killer of turn around times due to the logistics and the amount of staff involved. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson Eh, just sayin'...CBCS is hiring more staff to deal with such potential issues. Based on another comment you posted elsewhere on this forum, I think you just don't like onsite grading  ...I remember you posting you had a Star Wars 1 that was graded onsite by CGC...and you resubbed it to CGC, and it came back a point or so higher. One bad apple (or a marginally unsavory experience with onsite grading) doesn't ruin the batch. Onsite grading will surely increase the number of submissions that CBCS receives at any given show, where onsite grading is offered. From some of those submissions, CBCS is likely to have gained (repeat) customers, that they may have not had gained, if the customers were not drawn in by onsite grading. If a show is big enough for CBCS to offer onsite grading, CGC will be at that same show, offering onsite grading. To continue to increase CBCS's marketshare and brand visibility,CBCS needs to compete with CGC on all fronts. That is why CBCS is hiring more people, across the board, in every department. |

| Here's some questions about onsite grading maybe somebody can answer for me. 1) How long does it take to grade one comic book? 2) Will there be a second grader to approve that grading? 3) Will they be slabbing the comic book? 4) What is the limit on submitting? 5) Will they need a "Special set up" (lighting, dust free area ect..) 6) If they do one comic book every fifteen minutes, 7.5 minutes for each grader, that comes to four comic books in an hour! In a 6-8 hour day that's only 24 to 32 comic books they'll be able to look at which doesn't seem like a lot or even worth it. So, how will this work for both parties? |

| It's hard to answer those questions for a service that does not exist. Currently CBCS is only doing "on site" grading at one upcoming Con in FL that is very close to them, and the books will actually be traveling to the CBCS facility and then back to the con. They are doing this as a test run. Actual on site grading is just speculation at this point. | ||

| What are the rules for being an employee as far as buying, selling and having graded your own books? I'm sure there are some kind of "conflict of interest" rules, but just what are they? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by TimBildhauser I don't see a problem with employees submitting as long as they are not directly involved with the grading of their own books and the others who are have no clue that they belong to an employee. I know, perceived improprieties would have some crying foul. But then your forcing your own employees to use the competition's substandard service. Hmmm, seems there should be some way to find a solution for this issue. Anyone have any ideas? |

| That would be an employment deal breaker for me. That's gotta be tough, because someone who isn't already a collector would have no interest in grading. Therefore I'm sure every single grader there is also a collector. There's gotta be a way to set a system for employees, maybe have them only be able to have submissions when on vacation so they can't possibly see their own book in the grading room? The books are already anonymous to the graders, so I don't see the conflict, as long as the person has no contact with their own book. | ||

| Of course I'm serious. Why would I work for an employer that would deny me a part of my personal hobby? Just for the "privilege" of working for them? That would be like working at Papa John's and being forbidden pizza. Who would subject themselves to that kind of torture? I didn't say it should be a deal breaker for everyone on God's green earth, just a deal breaker for ME. | ||

If a CBCS employee is forced to send their books to CGC for certification at least they'll receive gift grades. LOL  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Stelbert_StyltonI really like this statement the only thing would be to make sure any new employee understood that the value of what they are handling could be worth more then their car of even a house. Even in my business it's nice to bring in young fresh blood to make sure your work force doesn't get old on you. |

| Back in the 70's I worked in a bowling alley where as an employee of that bowl you were not allowed to bowl there because some employees were giving free games to their friends. I lived 1 mile away from where I worked and because of this rule I had to drive 10 miles away in order to bowl either in league or open play. Needless to say I lasted less then a year before I quit just so I could bowl there. Point being I will never work for an employer that has that kind of rule again. | ||

| I'm sure grading comic books is not as glamourous as we all probably think it is. I'm sure it is a very tedious and time consuming process, especially on mid and lower grade books that have a lot of defects to take in consideration. Still, it is something that I'm sure most of us would like to at least see or sit in on just to get a grasp of how it really works. | ||
