    I’ve seen this so many times on my orders. It’s crazy that this continues to still be an issue over a year later.

    Sorry to hear that. I also feel that this has been occurring much more in the last year. Have CGC helped with your issue? It’s so frustrating.

    Thanks for the photos. What I can tell you is that sometimes the cases will sustain damage even before they get to the encapsulation team. And if QC also gives them a pass, they're most likely going out the door that way. 

    I hope the third time is the charm...  :foryou:

    Thank you for the insight and the good word. CGC actually mentioned that they have been receiving cases from the 3rd party manufacturer with flaws such as scratches. They didn’t mention cracks, but it’s possible. Disappointing if that is the case, and then they are passing QC.

    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.

    I am having a serious problem with CGC cracking the case during encapsulation and then passing it through Quality Control. The Last 3 orders I have placed (13 comics) have been returned to me cracked. I resubmitted for re-holder and they all came back cracked again. I am flabbergasted that this could happen once, but twice with the same order????? What is happening over there? Is anyone else having this issue? This is terrible.
