    How do you store your slabs?

    This is a picture of someone's prized Hulk 181 CGC 9.8 after 3 years in a Sentry Safe Fireproof safe.   He did not check on it.  So I got my books out of there as fast as I could (they were in there about a year, no noticeable damage that I can see).  Some sort of chemical reaction with the staple through the slab.  The seller tells the story in an 11 page thread, eventually buying a cheap 181 to have authentic staples, had them replaced but had to live with a green label 9.8 after that.   Brings tears to my eyes...

    I was told that replacing the staple from a book from the same era does not count as restoration am I wrong?
