Shipping may take the longest, depending on the flow. That could be a day to two weeks. You may not even see that if the flow is faster than the Dashboard update or State Email. Cheers!

5 yearsJesse_O (30298): 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...
