21 daysflanders (29012): 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 (39345): 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...

2 hourschester15 (2149): Even this mild curve in the holder is a problem. As it is, it's not causing any structural issues, but the next buyer will see it, making it harder to sell. It's not like you want to crack out a 9.8, taking the chance that it comes back lower. It should just be flat - period. The real bell ringer is when they are curved the length of the spine. Even if no tics (or worse) show, they likely will in the future. And they still haven't figured...

Story picks up with Dormammu attempting to take over hell, and Patsy attempts to stop him. Magick has little effect on her since her time in hell and she's definitely as strong as the plot dictates.

It kinda sucks to have Shatner autographs and not witnessed I guess I’ll have to take a chance and use the verify option hope they pass.
