BEST Way to Protect Comics

Listen, there ARE some knowledgeable people who really do know their stuff when it comes to collection protection, and thank goodness we do have people out there who know what they are doing! We also have some companies that DO manufacture acid free products for collectibles like we do. That is also good... because without a magic wand, I doubt we could set up enough buildings with all the necessary equipment and skilled workers to make those products fast enough to supply the worlds needs...HOWEVER...(haha...you had to know that was coming) I am a little biased about our company and not because it is family owned...it's because I can say without blinking an eye that ALL we say we are and do, we are and do!!!!!! When I was younger and in sales, it was so easy because I never had to sell..the products sold themselves. But now we're in an age where China is on the band wagon, and can undercut most all U.S. manufacturers. The potential glitch in that is that the certification and proprieties are not the same as ours, so you may not be getting what you think you are. There is also a mindset that you "just throw it in a bag and it will be OK"....that's dangerous thinking, unless the bag is filled with water and you're transporting a goldfish. I invite you to take a challenge...request one of our catalogs and a few samples and make a real comparison. (We CAN supply you with the product materials...can your current company do that?). WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE??? Well, it's possible you have everything to lose...so message me..talk to me!!!!! Let's see what if anything we can do for you!!!

SAD DAY TODAY...CBG Ceases publication

Per CBG: This is to let you know that CBG has ceased publication, effective Jan. 11. Our small and declining print circulation and a commensurate decline in advertising – taken together with increased printing and postage costs — simply doesn’t allow us to continue the magazine in an economically sustainable way. The website www.CBGXtra.com is being maintained as a resource archive by our fellow editors at Antique Trader, but will not provide updates. Obviously, the world of comics continues to be an exciting one, with an increasing audience for the art form. (Have you marked your calendars for this year’s Free Comic Book Day? It’s May 4!) Both Senior Editor Maggie Thompson and Editor Brent Frankenhoff will continue to be active in comics fandom, online, and elsewhere. We’ve enjoyed meeting many of you over the years and we hope to see you often in the future. We encourage you to check out CBG’s sister publication Antique Trader at www.antiquetrader.com. Additional contacts can be reached via email to atnews@fwmedia.com. Bags Unlimited has been closely tied to CBG for many years, and this news comes as a blow to us, as well as the comic community as a whole. We are sad to say "good-bye" and wish them all well on the next journey. Please continue to support the sister publication as mentioned, and THANK YOU CBG for many years of great publications, information and dedication. We salute you.
