CBCS comic book prison is legit at protecting our investments. 😂

This raises another important question. If these cases can survive such brutal, extreme and varied abuse (well done Dave), how come the guys at FedEx and UPS can do just as good a job of damaging the cases at times?

Well this answers my long time question. Going by this video... couriers deliver my packages underwater then dropped 20ft into a trailer, they miss the trailer, run over the book with the trailer, spill coffee over the book trying to pick it up, hit it with a hammer and then deliver it. Thanks David for this insightful video into the inner workings of the courier services. The more you know

Hell yeah this is what I'm talking about. Every time you do a test my heart skips a beat.

Another great vid, Dave. CBCS is clearly the superior case. It's too bad the graded values don't reflect the quality. I won't be surprised if this video finds its way to some CGC and CBCS reps and stokes a little competitive fervor between the two companies.

Honestly, a solid video showing durability. Helps with a bit of transparency on case quality.

Judging from the punctures on my packages, USPS, UPS and FedEx regularly hit packages with the forks of their forklifts at full ramming speed. 😤

I believe (possibly incorrectly) that the inner cases are never 100% airtight as a way to prevent condensation caused by the natural moisture of the book.

Just holding a modern cgc slab wrong it starts to squeak and groan under the weight of your hands alone so this really doesn’t surprise me. CBCS has felt more sturdy.

I love this video! Love that you are doing different videos! Everyone wondered about this!

I don't wanna be the one that has to take this burden and admit this; but EGS cases might be the strongest._*

Super cool! Extremely entertaining. That is the great question in life!! Thank you Dave. Always wanted to know that and have never seen it addressed before.

Outstanding video. Extremely high entertainment value and absolutely proved a point I already knew. I like to hang my books on the wall and I had a cgc book fall off the wall due to crappy adhesive and the case split open hitting my bed. Cbcs does make a better case but they can't grade worth shit.

Loved it!

Awesome video. But which one can better survive the brutal USPS mail carrier?

I enjoyed the coffee test the most. lol

Neat!! Figured cbcs was "stronger"

I love how you used a few 9.8's for this test!

It is ridiculous you cannot drop it from waist height without cracking off a piece. I have dropped my cell phone from similar height at least 10 times with ZERO damage to its protective plastic case.

Business opportunity. Sell graded comics case guards like they have for cell phones.

Not sure how you could test this, but how do they do against fire? I'm not sure what such a test could prove. I did see a video about a cooler caught in, I think, a car fire and its contents survived. Even the ice. I was curious as to how graded comics in the same cooler might survive. I just forgot the name of the cooler. It was not cheap, but I think it was cheaper than a fireproof safe.

Fun video.😃

Was this with the new cbcs case? I couldn't tell.

A different kind of video but I really enjoyed it!

Very informative video. Seems CBCS cases tend to be somewhat more durable than CGC cases. That being said, you should not put out disinformation on your channel because we tend to trust you. Everyone knows that The God of Thunder is the STRONGEST hero of all. We'll allow this ONE mistake for you since you're still young and learning. 😉

While you’re at it just destroy every single slab. So annoyed with the grading market and the whole spec bullshitery going on.

Should of put them in the water first

❤😂

cbcs quality and grading accuracy wins everytime... but for some reason CGC will always be worth more $. Fanboys unite..

Doesn't look good for CBC, kind of feels like a back door endorsement for CBCS made from the son of a CBCS employee. Either way any drop on a hard surface drops the value of the comics by hundreds or thousands of $, that's some expensive plastic.
