Comic books (Comics)/"slab" and price label

Question
Hello and thank you for your time! I'm need some answers about my comics- I'm selling them on eBay, and I can't find any info online. First, what's a "slab"? And second, on my Amazing Spider-Man books, some have a "diamond" price label(in the upper left corner), and some have a "square". Know what I mean? are they reprints? Thanks again.

Answer
Thanks for your question.

Firstly, I'm afraid I don't know what a "slab" is in this context.

If the diamonds and squares are what I think they are, then the diamond probably is a reprint, but I need a bit more data to answer your question properly. Is there any sign that these Spiderman comics have any other company logo on them other than Marvel Comics?

(You may also be able to sell them on Amazon... I'm looking into that myself...)
