2 monthsPaul_G (43): So my first every batch just came back from CBCS. Sent via Oakville August 2021 ("Received" November 2021), half with pressing. I had received 4 later orders back before this first one (no pressing being the key). As you will see above in this thread: you need to go to your dashboard, click on the order, then download the order PDF --this is what gets updated more reliably. The dashboard itself rarely updates from received or...

I didn't get too deep into it, but from what I see these are foil images added right to the existing cover. At least as early as 2009, CGC was giving these universal labels and calling them variants. If I got that wrong, please clarify. I'm guessing that since CGC had set that precedent, CBCS followed suit. As to whether or not these ARE variants seems to...

5 yearsJesse_O (35400): 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...
