12 hoursNamrepus28 (81): Thanks Darryl! The biggest one is not knowing how the process works considering the current circumstances with the border. I've had one of my orders saying "ShiptoCanada" for quite some time now. I'm guessing CBCS is going to collect a bunch and send them all back together? Or is it waiting for my modern order to be processed? If that's the case, correct me if I'm wrong, but normally when submissions are sent in with different...

1 dayJesse_O (19787): Here's a piece of published original art where the hero has wings. I felt I was lucky to win this piece on eBay a few years ago. This is page 6 from Captain America: Sam Wilson #6, April, 2016. It is of Joaquin Torres before his role as Falcon. He is battling the Serpent Solution: Viper, Bushmaster and King Cobra. https://e3effa51eee72fd900e3-2fb779bd12ec72d4612275342f2c9187.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/4a6a64cc26427213e8d5b729899325af.jpg This is the...

1 dayNaurd123 (36): Books your going to keep in your collect ya waiting is ok. If you churning your books for sale no. For books I’m churning I use all the fast services. Running 4 to 6 weeks. CBCS pressing is so superior compared to the competition. Quality trumps quantity. Pressers aren’t sitting at home waiting to be hired. Tough situation for the grading companies.

★   CBCS FAQ

3 yearsJesse_O (19787): 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...

Their grading is usually bang on....I think in all the time I have only been bitten once. Usually if there are any flaws then they will take additional close up photos. I agree though...if I had not bought from them before I too would think they didn't have enough. Only possible regret in this grouping is TMNT #8...I swear I have that book...but my excel does not...

I think that after spending $100 they felt compelled to watch it like 80 times and the whole dang family memorized the movie. In hindsight, that's probably something my wife should have disclosed to me before I agreed to marry her. That she had memorized every song from The Sound of Music. Yeesh.
