you should be ok.
Someone will have the actual dates but since they didn't go live with the census from the start when they did finally get it up and running not all the data made it.

If it's a new book it could be a delay in updating the system - I've had my own books back in hand with no notes available - one of the moderators was able to work some magic and get them updated in a few days.

@xtraplayer I looked in the population report and I don't see it there either. Maybe because it's a 9.2 checkmark grade there is something weird going on.

I picture of the label would really help. I know I have typed a lot of Bs as 8s and Es as 3s.

It's like the Roach Motel for comic collectors. chester15 private msg quote post Address this user
It always amazes me that people would think a comic priced less than $100, graded 9.2 would be fake.

A) You'd lose money taking the time to fake it - like counterfeiting quarters.
B) It's a lot of work to try to fake it, and great risk.
C) Close to impossible to do it - swapping it with another comic without somehow disturbing the case, inner capsule, label, etc.????
D) If you are going to fake one, make it worthwhile, like a $5000 comic.
E) You'd want to use a 9.8 to start and put in a lesser grade to optimize theft value.
F) All that industry-standard tamper-evident technology gone to waste.
G-K) At least 5 more reasons I couldn't think of - fill in your own reasons that it's ridiculous.

I have seen over a hundred comics questioned as to being fake - never saw one proven or even likely.

But at the first sign of suspicion, confusion, or uncertainty.....IT MUST BE FAKE! (NOT)
