The moment I hear someone pick up (after being placed on hold and waiting with the music for 10-15 minutes) they immediately cut out and the call goes silent (not hung up on, call keeps going on if I don't hang up but nothing is coming from their end). Tried three times already calling in, and it's the same problem every...

3 yearsJesse_O (17280): 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...

(If you are having issues please PM me) The 2-day tier is for grading so any add ons such as imaging or VSP can add time to the turnaround. This is normal. Example VSP on a two day will add a week or two for the verification process. The 2 day turn around would not start until the VSP is completed. Same with something being imaged.
