I think this is voldy's desperate attempt for additional revenue channels.  All they are doing is charging double for a pre-screen, without resto checks, putting them in a cheap Mylar and slapping a sticker on it.

It's a Mylar4 isn't it?

This was being talked about quite a bit at the Richmond show this past weekend. What I heard was that this service was geared towards facilitating appraisals for Estate and Insurance purposes. GOD BLESS...

With all due respect to CBCS and the intended purpose of this service,  with no resto check I wouldn't add these to any appraisal report with my name on it.  I would advise the client that I could perform the same service myself with a restoration check for less. Ultimately though, the advice given would be similar to what I tell most estate owners with comic collections, and that is that not all comics make economic sense to send in for grading, and that a properly drawn up appraisal report will protect their collection in the event of a loss just as well.

These grades should not be used for comics going back out on the market.  The only benefit would be to people doing this for insurance purposes, but if you have a pile of trimmed books, you're misrepresenting your collection, knowingly or not.

Would they note obvious resto like color touch?

Would they use qualified grades?

Would there be grader's notes?
