Definitely not happening during shipping. That’s the first thing I thought, but flaws are in the interior of the case at the seams in the exact same spot on every case. There is not exterior damage to the case such as surface cracks from dropping, crushing, etc. These flaws are happening during encapsulation and CGC has not denied that. Actually they (CGC) said it happens, and also admitted that small flaws are allowed within their tolerance. They’ve offered a mechanical error replacement for free, but again this is the second time this same order has been damaged (every book) and made it past QC. Thanks for the advice on the shipping.
