★   CBCS FAQ

Jesse_O

9 yearsJesse_O (39356): 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....

The copy machine has a surge protector supplied by the company. It doesn't blow the whole modem just the phone line inputs. All the internet stuff still works. The tech said is was because the phone jack inputs were cheap.

The deadline is still over a month away for personal with corporation taxes due March 15th.

Baseball card error question

OGJackster

1 daykon_jelly (702): These kinds of "errors" are never valuable. It's just a printing issue. The kinds of errors worth collecting are like the Billy Ripken FF card or the Dale Murphy reverse negative - errors in the content of the card that are caught and fixed, limiting the amount of the errors in circulation. In other words, do not send this in.

The vendor actually agreed to my cash price on the Tarzan book ($300), even without a trade. The guy was such a gentleman, I told him, “I’m gonna sweeten the pot a bit for you”. I showed him the Wolf-Man 2nd print and asked if he had one? He said he did, but it was...
