In the past I had submitted books to both CGC and CBCS. Now, I am will only send to CGC. I finally got my 3 submissions from CBCS which took 6 months. The last batch, the labels were incorrect on 4 books.
Yes, I can verify the claims are true about CBCS
- long turnaround time, 6 months
- no response to emails regarding my submission issues.
- I called and a Beckett customer service guy answered the phone. I send the scanned image of the books with label errors to a @beckett.com not @cbcscomics.com.
- CBCS made strict rules about the AW program. Can only witness your books for the not so popular artist. Basically, you still need a witness for artist like Campbell, Romita, etc
- The guys at the booth (East Coast) are the worst. Last time, I sat at their table for 30 minutes while the guy with long hair from Delaware was processing other customers coming up to their booth.
- Less resell value if you planning on selling on eBay
