Introducing QES We'd like to take this opportunity to introduce QES, your newest tool to boost the potential of your comic investment collection portfolio. When you're considering spending a certain sum of your money on a comic, look to QES to give you the details third-party graders are simply not equipped to provide. "When third-party companies grade comic books, they simply supply them with overall grades, quickly naming some of the cons and defects. We know that doesn't cut it, collectors yearn to know more!" - QES At QES, every comic will be carefully evaluated to find its superior features, rather than allowing the comic's shortcomings to define its condition. If a book has a flawless spine, does a crease on the back cover erase the perfect spine from existence? Of course not. Look to the QES tamper-proof label as a sign of quality and distinction. It cuts through the clutter. The QES label communicates to collectors and investors alike that a book has positive qualities that make it superior to similar copies. The QES label is not just a label as it brings with it a series of criteria that detail the positive attributes of the comic. These are the criteria that collectors and investors want and need to know. The criteria focus on decisive areas of a given book such as color strike, spine quality, cover edge quality, and staple placement to name a few. Collectors and investors want to know: Why this book? QES answers that question. Contact QES at info@QESComics.com with your list and mention TRYQESNOW for $100.00 credit towards QES services.

I think someone should start a service to grade the condition of the hologram stickers from QES/CVA. 🤠

I should start a CVS/QES sticker removal service.

I've already got a bottle of Goo Gone.

 It's hard to remove stickers unless you use WD40

This was a dumb idea when it was introduced several years ago.  It hasn’t gained any IQ points in the interim.

Well, they've already got a lively discussion going with respect to this particular topic if you trek to the Comics General thread:

Yeah, but a lot of golden age collectors don't go there.

From my point of view, this type of service would appear to be targeted to the CGC generation of label chasers and submitters who blindly send 100% of their books in for pressing before getting them graded, whether it needs it or not.  

So, what's one more additional cost to them since they know there's stil a lot of buyers out there who buys the label, and now hopefully, they'll also buy the sticker.  

For the old time pre-CGC generation of collectors, definitely not so much.
