Tnexus Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I don't actually mind their cases, but CB*S's font and font size always bugged me. There's just too much dead space on their label and it looks weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up with a slab of theirs and I couldn't stand looking at it, so I cracked it, tossed the label and left it raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSA is the Gold or Platinum standard for Sports Card grading currently, like it or not and I don't but it is them. Beckett carries a negative cachet for a solid majority buyers and sellers compared to PSA. About 15 years ago for short time Becket was on top in terms of perception then they put on clinic of what not to do and how to dilute a brand. Not that PSA is any great shakes but they are firmly #1 and SGC and Beckett are niche so too is CGC card grading. PSA to card what CGC currently is to Comics, but things can change and I sure hope they do. Edited August 28, 2022 by MAR1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I didn't open up a can-o-worms. Case in point, I don't think there's a story out there circulating about how CGC lost 300 slabs from a valued customer! I mean, seriously... that's a death sentence! (RIP) Larryw7 and The Lions Den 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Cat Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 C.CS? the labels suck and the cloudy plastic appearance sucks on the cases. CGC has zero to worry about. Now, regarding the new up and coming competitor with the new UV resistant cases coming soon? Maybe, but those labels are the ugliest ones out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And these are from the words of its most ardent supporters! You really had nothing to worry about there. They also love you. You should do a signing. Terms of endearment like 'clown' and 'bozo' were used. Have you been posting Lemonparty over there again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen the first 2. I allow a ton of stuff to be posted on this forum. I draw the line on these 3 things. I don't think that is too much to ask. This thread is still here. Carry on with it, and keep the 3 things I mentioned in mind before posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
