This is the very first one I ever bought many years ago that started my addiction ...

★   CBCS FAQ

Jesse_O

1

9 yearsJesse_O (39356): What does a checkmark (asterisk online) by the grade mean? In rare cases, a comic book will look much better than the given grade. In these rare cases, a Check Mark will be placed on the label by the numerical grade. The best way to understand why a specific comic book received a Check Mark designation is to refer to the graders' notes. Example: a comic is graded 8.0. However, the covers are such that it looks like a 8.5 or a 9.0....

11 hourschester15 (2363): So CGC said no, I see. You might have specifically asked if it could fit into a poster slab. Maybe the book is too thick, as a poster is just a single sheet of paper. The CGC post says no to comic and magazine holders, but doesn't specifically discuss poster holders. If you can't get it encapsulated, there are top loaders big enough to hold it. That would help preserve its condition.
