Just got this sub. crease book back from CGC. I think it presents pretty nicely despite the crease.

Has anyone received recent slabs back from CGC that can speak to whether this issue seems to be persisting or diminishing?

thanks,

Joey,

Did you ever have a chance to look further at those cracked out inner wells to see if the indentation also points in towards our books?

Also has there been any further response from CGC about whether they have solved this problem going forward?

joeypost,

did you notice any damage to the back cover of the book that corresponded with the case indent?

I have posted my complaints in several journals on this board and I have pictures of the backs of all of my books with the indentation problem. I've only ever sent 10 books to CGC and 7 of them have this issue and all of them are the key books in my collection. I don't want to send them back for re-casing unless CGC is going to pay for it and guarantee that they won't have the indent next time. Which from the responses we've gotten they won't do. With the potential damage and loss from shipping I definitely don't want to send them back and forth across the country unless the issue is guaranteed to be fixed.

Let me know any way I can help.

Heymikesays,

I recently submitted 10 books to CGC at the ECCC, 5 silver age, 2 bronze age and 3 moderns. They all came back at different times. The first 7 to return all had that similar indentation as yours and the 3 moderns did not. I emailed CGC to ask them about it after the first one came back and this was their response,

"That is a by-product of the injection molds used to manufacture our inner wells and is more cosmetic than anything. That will not affect your book in any way."

since all of mine were coming back that way I assumed that there was no way around it, but then when the final three books arrived without it, I wondered if I should contact them again about re-slabbing, but I haven't yet. I'm really interested to hear how it goes for you, please keep us posted.

Mine is about 6500. All raw except for the 10 books currently undergoing grading by CGC as we speak. Mostly Marvel silver age to 1998.
