Mine have just been sitting at "Received" but no emails, nada... I'm sure they are at least done with pressing based on the Pressing Thread updates from Steve, and the fact they went from "Pressing" to "Received" on the "Print Invoice"... Just curious if anyone else has had...

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 (34489): 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...
