The more people that use CBCS and the more books CBCS grades that difference will become negligible IMO.

Popular Post CrocHntr Posted January 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2022 Not to turn this into another CGC vs CBCS discussion, but as a buyer, I’m paying for an accurate grade. I really don’t care which Company’s slab I get as long as I can be confident the grading is accurate. And I’d pay the same price for either slab, so I don’t know why a seller would willingly sell one for less than the other.

Only if another company makes me more money. That's all it comes down to. All I see is a company in TX who had a golden opportunity to take some huge market share and as per usual they did nothing.

It is that the buyers won't pay the same price. Accurately graded books will always sell faster. If you are looking at a book and questioning the grade and it is the same when looking at lots of books you come to the determination that their grading is loose and that you automatically downgrade the book in the holder. CBCS did it to themselves, the market didn't do it. You get a reputation as a loose grader it sticks with you.

The only thing that kept me with CGC is most of my runs are CGC. Next run I start I am going to go with best available books and not whether it is CGC or CBCS.

I've cracked CGC slabs that were severely over graded. People talk about the stricter and looser periods here, but it hasn't hurt their reputation because of its cult like following.
