    Spot on with the label analysis. Every CBCS book I've purchased I've had crossover regraded by CGC, however I will say that the QR Code on the back of CBCS books that allow you to quickly see their FREE grading notes on the book is something that CGC needs to seriously think about bringing over to their labels. CBCS needs a stronger design on their overall label, and they need to secure a deal with DC/Image/IDW for custom labels on their line. They need something that not only makes them standout, but gives the consumer a legit reason to choose their product over CGC.

    I really hope this is a step for CBCS to get their footing to compete with CGC. CGC is very sketchy at this point - questionable grading, ridiculously slow turnaround times, and their self-interest in doing pre-screen grading is a hustle. I've had grades that were too high and too low, clearly mixed up grades and graders notes. They're not far from a major lawsuit imo, plus having only one grading company is a dangerous precedent - monopolies are never a good thing.

    They should put their logo shield in white behind the grade number, will look way better and also not completely copying cgs white square..just my 2 cents.

  • @1szekelybence
    @1szekelybence 4 года назад +1

    CBCS is taking some big steps in the right direction man. If this is how they'll continue to improve, in a couple of years they might just become the #1 grading company. Also that Verified Signature Series (or whatever they call it) is a huge advantage if you have books with certificates of authenticity.

    I like both really. But the only problem is that, sometimes you will get newton rings or you will see certain flaws that gets passed by. Especially when you know that it wasn't there. Sometimes you can hear your book move inside the case. As a collector, it all comes to you of what you prefer. In my opinion, cgc has a high following & resells better. Cbcs not so much. But still, I like both. The only plus side with cbcs is, they can authenticate signatures without no witnessing and free graders notes when you scan the back of the label. With cgc you will pay a fee.

  • @AnthonyOldhandGarcia

    I like the new CBCS case with the all blue label without the white box with the grade on them on the right of it just gives the all blue label a cleaner look to it with a nice smooth curve rounded touches on all four corners of the case as well and sturdy. Nice review.

    Great video. Longtime collector but totally new to slabbed comics. I just bought my first off eBay and it is CBCS. It seems like there's a lot of hate for their labels and I wonder (since you mention they've made changes) why haven't they been able to come up with something people like? It sounds like they're losing business over something that shouldn't be that hard to correct.

    That new case is superior to cgc because it has outgasing vents. And the book will never need to be reholdered (unless someone breaks it) the top label also looks better than cgc now. Their grading is better and more consistent. If they master their front label they would be #1 also no Newton rings (with all previous cases)

  • @chrisbarrettFilmstudio
    @chrisbarrettFilmstudio 4 года назад +4

    I honestly believe that cbcs and cgc cases are the same with minor changes. That could be due to them using the same manufacturer but with customer specifications.
    And in my opinion cbcs is a better company because of their harder grading, signature verification, and the raw grading. Only down side is the label

    honestly CBCS label is starting to grow on me. I'm more of a raw book type.. but I have both CGC and old CBCS cases.. but CBCS' motto (Steve Borock dude) is that the book is what's important, not the label... and I think this latest sealed case shows it. They coulda made the label with stickers and eye candy for sure.. when you look at these side by side for awhile. the CGC label does pop.. but it's also much more Garish for sure. stare at both side by side. and let me know which one presents the actual book better..... just saying.

    Looks much better, and one thing I noticed in comparing the new one to the old one is that it looks like the spacing around the comic is even on all 4 sides now.

    Awesome comparison. I think CBCS should use a white circle around the rating number. Maybe the circle outline could match the CBCS shiny logo on the right. This way they could manufacture the same labels identical, and they could print the other info and rating as before. It would be an awesome display, if they maybe use a holographic numbering for the big rating number on the left like for the logo on the right. For example, they could use different color of holographic numbering for the different eras, or they should use different for different quality, like bronze color holo for 6.0-7.9 silver fol 8.0-9.5, golden for 9.6-9.8, and something very shiny diamond like for 9.9 and 10. I think I like the hologram logo of CBCS better than the CGC square holo "sticker" on the up right corner.
    The fact that they sent you stuff proves that they are want to be better, and they want your and our opinion on the improvements. It's an awesome thing to do.
    Although I did't collect these stuff because it's expensive and hard to get these in Europe, I own one CGC slab,which was from you by winning a gemcreate. Maybe one day I jump into these slabs, but right now I focus on getting more and more reading material in omni, and other hc collected format.

    I like the new CBCS case ! I wish they would take CGC's idea of character labels and expand upon it. I really like the CGC character labels but they are very limited. CBCS should jump on that idea and expand upon it. Another thing I wish CBCS would do is create larger size cases for different collectables. I have a beautiful Avengers 1 print with a Jack Kirby signature. CGC has a poster sized case that's way to big. CBCS should try and diversify by going after this market. CBCS has grabbed a large portion of the signature market, maybe they could up their game with multiple sized cases.

    While I love CGC and how they’ve impacted the comic market, I’m old enough to know that it is never wise to rely on one company and ONLY one company to supply your products or services. CBCS is indeed a reliable company and I’m giving them more than just a second look. While CGC is still my mainstay I’m also going to support CBCS. Biggest reason is I have signed copies that were inked long before CGC opened its doors.

  • @garrettstrobel6541

    @VincentMcLeantheComicMachine 4 года назад

    Man i live in Dallas, TX and i know exactly where the CBCS office is, but i really can't bring myself to drop books off there. I very much prefer the aesthetically pleasing look too the CGC slabs and the census that they have had for book rarity. The one thing i will say that would be nice is that the CGC company would be able to make changes to the signature verification. CBCS definitely has not an upper hand but allows signatures to be reported without a rep witnessing. Not sure how that affects the rate of forgery for the creator signatures, but it should be something to look at.

  • @allnovieveryday
    @allnovieveryday 4 года назад +2

    I'm not sure I agree on the white box being better.. it puts more focus on collecting a number rather than the book which should be the main focus. I do think one way to improve the label would be to make it more square looking.. the edges look rounded because of the way it sits inside the case. The older CBCS label looks a bit more square in your comparison 3:39 Even in the beckett BGS graded cards having a sharp square label up top always stood out as recognizable.

    I prefer CGC on my higher tier books, but that said CBCS is definitely a lot cheaper. I've used them several times on signature series books to just have that authentication and get away with a littler cheaper grading fees. CBCS is also a lot faster to get your books back to you. I just received my C2E2 books back last week from CGC. All that said when you go to sell a book and its the same grade from both companies the CGC will always sell for a higher price.

You can't beat that census information. I appreciate the upgrade and the competition between the two(CGC/CBCS) will be good for us collectors.

    The new CBCS case supposedly getting rid of the newton rings that still plague CGC is a pretty big deal BUT as long as CGC dominates resale then it’s a no-brainer to keep paying for CGC, otherwise you’re costing yourself even more money in the end.

    At first glance it's hard to see a huge difference, but once you got into detail breakdowns it's a huge improvement. Those new cgc cases are tanks though

    I agree that the CBCS label is lacking aesthetically. It's actually the only reason I've been holding off on sending in signed books to be verified.

    Not bad at all. I do still prefer the aesthetic of CGC more, not gonna lie. If they work on that aesthetic a bit more, they could definitely close that gap even further.
