| The CGC slab 2.0 and 2.5 are glorified paperweights in my opinion. Seriously, they're heavy for no reason, Some folks my like the added rigidity, I don't. They take up more space in the box too. As far as the CBCS label, I loved the first label, not keen on the rivet label, and the new one is an improvement on a substandard label that was a downgrade on the original label. | ||

| I am thankful that they give authenticity to books that otherwise would get dinged for ink on cover. The new label is sleek and clean and I don’t mind the color. Definitely don’t want anything to remind me of pgx. | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

 It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious.

 It was basically when this gem of a label design was dropped on an unsuspecting public. |

| How can they expect people to believe this book is a 9.8 with a label like that?!? | ||

| Look, its impossible to argue that the current labels actually look good. A first-year graphic designer could do better. They don't look like something produced by a professional company. They aren't aligned, they print them on toilet paper and use food colouring to tint them. Again, not saying mine are the way to go, but they are better I'd say. So was the one done by the other guy (early in the thread). The current CBCS labels look like they were designed in Mircosoft Word by a receptionist named Florence, who was chosen because she took art classes in high school. |
