4 monthsflanders (29754): I have a suggestion that I hope CBCS will consider. Can you ban both the posting of any photos in collection threads as well as sales threads of any CGC slabs numbered 43 and above including slabs with a grade date after January 2023? I think CGC from at the very least 2023 on, maybe even earlier, has shown that they have no respect for the hobby and there isn't any discernible difference from an ethics standpoint, between CGC and PGX.

★   CBCS FAQ

8 yearsJesse_O (39346): 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. CBCS...

28 minutesCapCityComics (191): A couple of current books from the modern pile that's about 2 months old, though my pull list is small. New History of the DC Universe - Essentially what I already expected it to be having read Waid and Javier Rodriguez' Marvel series of this before. It's great to see Waid tackle the current "total" history of the DC Universe, and some nice additions and surprises to see what starts to build that tapestry. I loved Jerry Ordway's...

44 minutesCapCityComics (191): I went in already a little critical of James Gunn's distinctive touch on his movies already being a little annoying when overboard, though he makes overall enjoyable movies. This movie was a lot of fun, great overall. Luthor certainly has been given dimensions to his evilness, and Nicolas Hoult ran with it wonderfully. I may be slightly biased in that I'm a huge JSA fan, moreso than the Justice League, so I was already stoked to see Mr....

1 dayNuffsaid111 (21112): Unfortunately, regardless of legal outcome, collectibles don't do well with this type of situation in the present. I love the comic series. I think it's one of the best; if not the best series ever written in the lores of comicbookdom. But the legal aspect and the comic collectible/court of public opinion are different. And it is the latter that dictates the values.
