If that’s not the answer you want to hear, ai would write on the polybag/mylar something like “Press” and/or “do not press” on the respective book. I’d imagine most have to do with the logistics involved. For example, the turnaround times will always be longer with the Canadian orders so it doesn’t make...

★   CBCS FAQ

4 yearsJesse_O (23715): 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...

15 minutesSidTheSquid (398): So, from a monetary standpoint would you say better to have higher valued books signed? Not worth it for low value books? And I would assume if the book is rare enough (Say, a silver age key...) it could hurt the value because maybe not everyone wants a signed copy?

Value jump from 9.8,9.9,10.

24 minuteschester15 (1012): You can subscribe to GPA here: https://comics.gpanalysis.com/ They list all past prices for graded comics, so if you look up a popular comic that likely had some top grades, you can see the value differences. Or look up some sold graded comics on eBay searching by 9.8, 9.9, and 10.0. If you find some sold comics at 9.9 or 10.0, you can look up what 9.8's sold for recently to compare. Don't use values for comics currently for sale, as those...

It started with the wealthy Hunter Rose who became an outside-the-law Batman type character under the Grendel influence. I would give it a mixed review. If you don't start from issue 1, I really can't pick a great place to recommend starting from.
