All I need is....... the Red Label. :D Lawyer problem solved

2 yearsJesse_O (11991): 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 know that CBCS as a company will not be there and I know that CGC will be there but since CGC is more expensive and I like CBCS better, i would prefer to use CBCS and their ASP (Authentic Signature Program).

Then continuing down the path you defend and seem to enjoy, i.e., darker/edgier, he cast Ben Affleck as Batman. So, the guy messed up Batman and Superman. He was the executive producer on the ultra hot mess Suicide Squad movie which I see you conveniently forgot to mention in your post. Yep, another feather in his cap.:beer:

The King Thor is just another Wal Mart Exclusive variant...same happened with Thanos 1 and Black Cat 1...they're sought out because they're usually 2 per store or higher and also regional.

Certainly I don't want to be disrespectful, and so I've left it alone, largely forgotten about it. But I'd also be glad to participate if they want to have a big sale or something. Or even just give them advice, you know? I wonder what they decided to do.
