I think all these controversies turn people off to comics. It turns the hobby into bean counting. It was more fun in the old days when a good and experienced comic dealer with a good eye would. tell you in 5 minutes what condition your book was.

Great honest review. I was a bit unsure so I bought one of the Silver Age size. I’ll be honest I was not impressed at all. I think it’s a good idea but there are some tweaks. I think the inner dimensions need to be a bit wider.

#wonover - Nice review on product as well as experience with customer service. Some further research of the product seems to indicate they’ve added UV protection to the holders. There is actually a decent in-depth overview on the website regarding the UV protection associated with the capsules. According to the site it looks like silver age size holders are coming. Sizing options are fine for modern but I won’t be comfortable using current available capsule for silver and golden age books.

Flimsy, cheap stuff. I just picked one up at my LCS for $13. Not impressed. If it drops one time and breaks, may damage my raw, unbagged & unboarded comic. Mine does not sau UV protected on the packaging. I'll probably return it to the store.

Have things changed since since this video was made? I have sent eight or nine comics off to CBCS in the past year and a half or so, with no issues at all. The promised turnaround time for my last set was right down to the wire, but they shipped them back with about three business days days to spare. I have emailed them with questions, the only thing I find is they seem a bit snarky with the replies. But at the same time, it could be because there’s no “fluff” The replies sound like an email. I’m sending to a friend who just gives me a short answer, the replies are not very business like.

How does bidding work on Comic Link? If you do a max bid does the auction automatically go to that #? Or does it only increase when some 1 tries to bid minimums and it slowly goes up until you win or until your max is overtaken similar to how ebay does it?

Indeed, the mention of the thickness was in regard to resiliency and how it might fair against being hit or dropped
