A simple it’s all good don’t worry or even better some facts to help a new guy out would probably work too you know

Noobs, you’re most welcome

Do it 😀

I know right!,

Thanks but I think this is different. I have Seven moderns slabbed in 2019 or earlier. Just talking about the hologram it is inside the case. There is no ridge when I run my finger across them. Now my 2 2020 books it is a sticker on the outside of the case because I can feel the edges.

Some damage yes. But my understanding is that a single crease with no colour break and for a short distance (like 2mm) is negligible individually so ok for a 9.8. But to have four of them to me at least would warrant a lower grade as it’s the cumulative impact tag matters.

Not quite. They are borderline but I don’t see white just a crisp crease and faded colouring.

So new ones are stickers on the outside of the case? They are both 2020. So 2019 and earlier sticker was inside.

I have just started collecting and am buying raw and slabbed. My most recent slab is a SIKTC #11 one per store virgin signed by Dell’Edera and Tynion. The Cgc holographic silver sticker has a raised lip around it (I can feel the edges when running finger over) suggesting it is a sticker rather than embedded beneath the case shell and there is slight movement of the inner case and book when I flip the slab. I have a total of 10 slabs and two are the same yet the other 8 have the hologram clearly inside (smooth across the plastic because the sticker is embedded) and there is zero movement of the book. This SIKTC also has 4 spine ticks which don’t break colour and are individually negligible but noticeable when looking close up suggesting the grade can’t be right (it’s a 9.8). Have had a look at the forums briefly and Cgc website but anyone able to help if this is a problem or it’s just how some slabs are. Both of the 2 barcodes fully check out on the registers and their timing makes sense based on release dates and Cgc turn around times. Photos of SIKTC attached. Thanks!
