Perhaps now CBCS can get their act together?? He's one of the only people who knows WTF is going on at CBCS. You think they'll improve without him!? sevans1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thunsicker Posted May 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2022 So with a grader like Steve joining MCS should we expect their grading standards on raw comics to more closely mirror CGC and CBCS or should we expect them to keep their ultra tight standards? eddly, grendelbo, lizards2 and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i've seen over the past 20 years at least at cons Boracks primary interest is purchasing Comics or Art from one table then looking to sell them at another table (or seemingly anyone he talks to, like me many times) for a profit. He always seems like a decent guy but that has zero to do on his acumen as a professional business person. If what you said is true, then that is very scary and yeah they might be toast. I had wanted them to succeed very much but they lost the battle of perception years ago. BTW as long as he sticks strictly to Consignment end, it could be perfect role for him?

Seems to me like his primary interest is just the business of comic books. There's plenty of evidence on their boards that he's hands-on in the business and not just there to collect cash. Moving from CBCS to MCS is likely going to be fantastic for both MCS and Borock. I cannot see the former improving with whoever replaces Steve. This is a huge hit to their brand, IMO.

shadroch Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 I doubt the majority of people who submit know who the head grader of either company is. I have no idea who the head grader at CGC is, or who it has been for about a decade. I knew Steve was President at CBGS but not the head grader. When Steve is no longer employed by their competitor, I hope he makes a return to these boards. OJ Pimpson and Off Panel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may make small tweaks to our grading standards at the margins, but no big changes. That's something we've already been looking at and would be working on with or without Steve. I'm fine with our standards being tighter than CGC and CBCS to some degree, but I don't want to go too far. grendelbo, musicmeta, Off Panel and 14 others 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCS' perception in that regard is world class, but that perception can be lost very easily and is far more difficult to re-gain than lose!

I started consigning books with you almost from Day One, many years ago, but I'm not currently sending you raw books. I'd love to, as I'm looking to downsize but your recent grades are ludicrious. After submitting so many books, I had a good idea how you'd grade them and I could send you stuff confident of how they would be graded. Not recently. I've been told a consigner can call and appeal individual books but if I'm going to quibble over grades, I can do that on ebay.
