★ CBCS Turnaround 3.0

Virgincollector

54 minutesPaint_Monk (1126): Maybe I just had a lucky run the last few submissions netting 2x 9.8s in each submission among the other stuff. But this batch is enough to keep me from submitting for a while. Not CBCS fault of course, as grades need to be fair and honest. I just need to re-assess which books I send in as well as my own seemingly poor skills at finding good candidates for grading.

3 yearsJesse_O (16406): 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...

I felt it wasn't hard to contact me since I was messaging him to tell him that I was working with the post office to track down the package. He left positive feedback, so I guess that's a win.
