Clearest choice is Symbiote suit Spidey and Alpha Flight fighting a gigantic pink cobra. https://e3effa51eee72fd900e3-2fb779bd12ec72d4612275342f2c9187.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/1337b34524f9111c2f397d25ba48d0c0.png There's also these snakes on Medusa's head... ...

6 monthsflanders (30151): 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.

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...
