I don't understand how a sketch became associated with the word remark. I think CGC used to use that word when a creator would write something on the book aside from just their signature. Like, "To Thomas, Frank Miller." And was used for brevity for the sake of multiple signatures, or occasionally when they just couldn't read what was written.

For the sake of a CBCS label, a sketch is called a sketch. A doodle is called a sketch. A remark, such as above, is called a remark as in the situations above.

I see people calling their artwork "remarks" all the time. After the first few hundred times, I got tired of explaining it.

These would be the proper explanation. Remark means Remarque.

I was told by Steve, I believe, that if something such as a sticker is put on the cover, even in a controlled setting, it counts against the grade because it wasn't part of the original printing process. Well, a Remarque/sketch is definitely not part of the original printing process. I'm still not happy that CBCS took at least a full point off because of the Hologram Authentic Wizard sticker that they (Wizard) put on a limited number of signed copies of this book back in 1996. I would understand taking off points for a sticker, such as a price tag, that was put on a cover by a supermarket or a scratch 'n sniff sticker that was put on a comic by an individual consumer. But I don't agree with taking off points for a sticker that was put on there by Wizard. Especially if these grading companies are not taking off points for Remarques/sketches and saying that they take off points for anything that was not part of the original printing process.

	How does CBCS distinguish between a sketch and a remarque (remark)?? at what point does a remark become a sketch?

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. 28.98K	28.98K drchaos private msg quote post Address this user	plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 0
	My guess would be the size of the sketch with remarks being smaller.

	its remarque. whenever i do a little head sketch on one of my prints or a comic thats what i call it. it was initially a process when artist were making prints in the old days. they would engrave a little sketch on the edge of the plate and after they made the proofs they would remove it.

	They are "remarques" not a "remark" Remarque \| Definition of Remarque by Merriam-Webster https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/remarque Remarque definition is - a drawn, etched, or incised scribble or sketch done on the margin of a plate or stone and removed before the regular printing. We often do little sketches in the border of a print or a small corner of a cover.

	I think he's referring to when people like Greg Horn or Mike Mayhew draw a doodle on a production run cover art book. That is what people are now calling remarks. I think they are just doodles and a signature.

	I’m pretty sure it’s up to the person submitting the book. As I saw a label marked sketch for the words “I killed Gwen” on it. That’s clearly not a sketch. I know I put “signed and sketched “ on any or my books that have more that just a signature. And if there’s a quote written I write “signed and then write quote”

	It's like the NBA. It ain't traveling unless it is called. It ain't a foul unless it is called a foul. It doesn't count against the grade unless it does. How in the hell is it against the grade if I (the owner) sign my name on the cover of my book. But if someone else signs their name on the cover of my book, it is okay? It ain't a foul unless it is called a foul.

You think if you tell the artist, "listen could you please change your signature or letters to that they don't confuse you with John Romita JR?" I think that is a little absurd. Anyways isn't the label there to let you know who did what on the comic?

	First there's an autograph; next is an autograph with a "doodle"; next is the "remarque"; then finally "sketch"; .... lolol. Hope I've muddied it all up. Of course I don't feel any are appropriate for covers except sketch covers but that's just me.
