According to CGC, if the writing is small and/or unobtrusive, the comic can grade up to a 9.8 - only 9.9's and 10.0's are not allowed to have writing or stamps on the cover.

I really like Rai, and as being the "host" for the Blood Of Heros, he (she?) can also weave together most all the other characters of the V.U.

I believe the term "*SQUEE*" started it's meteoric rise to popularity after it was used in Mike Judge's movie "Office Space."

I have a question - how do you ship a large amount of cards? And I mean specifics - boxed up loose, bag them together somehow in smaller groups and in another box, etc...??? I ask because I might do the same as rifft, as I have a large amount of comic cards as well that I no longer have any interest...
