| The book in question looks better than the grade given to it by CBCS due to a defect that isn't obvious by looking at it through the holder. | ||

| the * or more recently, a checkmark, indicates that the book presents better than a book of that grade. Maybe the book got a 9.0 as a result of an accumulation of imperfections on the interior but the cover looks amazing and in the holder, where the interior defects aren't visible, the book looks like a higher grade book. | ||

| Originally CBCS used a star to designate a book that looked better than its assigned grade, as has been mentioned. There was a dispute with NGC over the use of the "*", so CBCS began using a check mark to indicate the same thing. Hope this clears things up. This is from another thread by posted by the_Watcher |

Quote:Originally Posted by SuperPaul Everyone gets surprised by a grade. That's the reason for the check mark on the label. It means "Check the graders notes as this looks better than the given grade". We thought a * would be good but the certified collectibles group sent us a lawyers letter stating that because they use that on coin labels, most of you would confuse our comic with their coins as being from the same company. I am pretty sure all of you would not confuse a comic with a coin, but we decided to change it to a check mark on the label. It still shows up online as a *. |
