But have you bought a graded book?  And if so, did you remove it from the case and inner well to verify that it's all there?

Knowing what to look for is very important, but I'm in the camp of believing that the outside case corners can be opened and closed without looking broken.  A "redesign" may be as simple as printing the label a little longer so that it becomes sealed in rather than floating at the top.  So many good ideas have been presented already that do not require redesign.

That is actually an elegant solution. An oversized label that gets sealed rather than free floating. So its top and left right edges get sealed. Another Idea could utilize double adhesive holographic sticker similar to the current one, inside the case on that label, which peels when the slab is opened. If that sticker isn't intact that slab has been opened.

CGC's current holder is completely compromised and need a total overhaul. Until then, why would anyone submit books? Also, should we resubmit old slabs to get the new one and a fraudulent book is found in the holder, will CGC reimburse those clients?

There is a case from March of 2023 where someone is facing 20 years for counterfeiting sport cards, certifications and wire fraud. The value of those cards is said exceed $800,000. A quick glance at CGC's affected comic list is north of $1 million. CGC has hired a private investigator and retained outside legal counsel; but what about an actual criminal investigation by federal authorities? Furthermore, do we really think this guy is the only person to have discovered the flaw in CGC's system?
