5 daysBabaLament (1987): In my opinion, its the absolute lack of communication that is damning. TAT delays happen, I get that. However, a little communication would go a long way; where, exactly, are my books in the process? I wish I had an idea, but unfortunately, the dashboard & the invoice both have different status, and they are updated so infrequently that its barely worth the time to check. The order I'm waiting on is relatively small, 10 books for around...

★   CBCS FAQ

Jesse_O

1 yearJesse_O (6481): 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...

I used the plastic J-channeling over the aluminum ones because of sharp edges. Thinking about it now I wish I would have gotten better furring strips. Some of them cracked a little while I was putting them up. Good luck man and let us know how it looks!

Hell, they both already have an Absolute edition, which is supposed to be the grandest of deluxe printings. (Although I did hear that the Absolute Year One was kind of crap.) So where are they going with the Black Label reprint? Are they adding R-rated material that was cut from the original? Seems very strange that...

You have to use the Price Calculator on the US Post Office website to see if they are less expensive. Depending on the weight of the package and its destination, sometimes flat rate boxes are cheaper to mail, and sometimes the non-flat rate boxes are cheaper (usually when you are only shipping one or two raw books).

You just know someone, somewhere, is sitting on one and has no idea. Maybe an exec at the printing company has a box he forgot about in a closet or something.
