  1. My very first purchase from the CGC forum and it is a 1K+ slab from Dan. He walked me through every thing I need to know and I have to say he really demonstrated to me what is bullet-proof package. 

    Thanks so much Dan and I hope to have the chance to buy more things from you.

  2. Why would some pedigree have white label instead of traditional pedigree dark golden label? I've noticed several comics such as all Murphy Anderson pedigree, some of pacific coast pedigree are using it.

    Anyone knows why?

    I just consigned 25 CGC graded comic books with MCS. All are from the same CGC order. Every one is described on MCS with scuffs with variations of outside front, outside back, outside front and back, outside and inside, etc....

    Granted, I saw the scuffs, but they were all minor and not worth the risk to send back to CGC for a fix and I understand that MCS needs to protect their sales from being returned. The QC is just in a sad state. Hope they fix it soon.

    I’m sorry I’m new - what MCS stands for?

    Yes, I would bet on it. This is why:

    The Newton Ring effect occurs when the 2 plastics meet. By scuffing the interior of the outer well, this prevents a flat plane from meeting a flat plane, as there are small peaks and valleys in 1 of the surfaces.

    I used to think CGC as a modern plant, but hearing your explanation I’m now picturing it as a lovely home-made workshop with employees there wearing pajamas….

  5. Bought 2 three-jokers and noticed that both slab have the same issue - some mold like dirt inside the outer case which cannot be cleaned. Due to this I sent both in a low price, and when I try to find the 3rd one on eBay I found it is a common issue.

    When I exam my other slabs I observed something similar:

    What are these annoy tiny dots? If I send these slab back to CGC and do a rehold - will the problem got solved?
