I haven't found where(or if) it shows a particular book was graded, but otherwise looks OK on first glance.

It'll be interesting to finally see their actual market share.
But I think this is a mistake. I don't see how this can help them - their share is too low for that. At the very least, they should have simultaneously introduced a Registry in order to get SOME form of offsetting benefit out of this.

This is fresh eBay data, and it's what I've been using up until now to get a feel for Grading Company Market Share. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. This is all in units. A similar comparison could be done using total dollars.    |

At the very least, they should have simultaneously introduced a Registry in order to get SOME form of offsetting benefit out of this. According to "spaulus" the registry is coming. I think CBCS will see an uptick from collectors trying to populate empty fields(at least for a few months) until the novelty of a census wears off. |

When I read the message on CBCS's site regarding the census, the voice I hear in my head is President Trump's, especially the last three words in the sentence. I wonder if it was their intentions to do that.
"Our members will now be able to compare graded books of the same title and issue number like NEVER before!"

I still laugh when I see the line "robust collecting experience". That's been used by CGC a few times. |
