did CGC come out with a new slab? or something fishy? Advice needed please.

[Mailman_Comics]

So I bought this comic on eBay, I received it today but the case is different from the rest of my slabs. It's thicker and looks different. There's more space inside the slab, compared to the one I'm used to where the comic is more snug and compacted. I don't own a pgx nor have I ever held one. Although the serial number did register in the CGC registry. I'm just wondering if CGC started using another type of slab or did I get scammed? I wish I could post pics but my internet's down and I'm posting this from my phone, any help would be appreciated, thank you.

is it ticking?

[Buzzetta]

What book? Books like Dark Knight Returns or Golden Age books have bigger cases to accommodate the comics.

Is it a square bound book?

[Spideydan]

Is it a Golden Age Book? Because I've seen thicker CGC cases for those.

[Tomega]

I've got plenty of those, no worries. It is not just thicker books, I have it on several books ( X-Men 300 comes to mind.)

Do a search . Try Ebay and see if anyone there is selling the same book CGC'ed . See if its a comparable size or not .

It's a what if #31, the case is not big like magazine size big, its just thicker. I've got annuals in my collection but their cases aren't this thick.

normal variation

So it is a square bound book.

I've seen this a few times. I don't think it's really anything to worry about.

 

I own two graded Wolverine v.2 #150 issues. One is in a regular sized slab, the other in a thicker slab. Obviously there's no difference in the size of those books (as they're the same), so the thicker slab was likely just used by mistake.

 

Maybe they just ran out of the regular sized slabs that day.

My X-Men V2 #25's have different slabs. The regular editions are in standard slabs, the gold and B&W editions are in larger (deeper) slabs.

 

nothing to worry about, it's fine and you will get used it.

Alright just checking too be sure, thanks guys, I appreciate the quick responses.

Actually, throwers don't worry about ticking 'cause modern bombs don't tick. But when a suitcase vibrates, then the throwers gotta call the police. Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor. But … every once in a while [looks around, leans in conspiratorially] … it's a . [leans back] Of course, it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a . We have to use the indefinite article, "a ", never … your .

Oh, that reminds me of the time when I checked into a hotel and complained to security of a buzzing noise.

 

 

I'll shut up now.

Wolverine #75 made it into one of these.

[Radj4ck]

Amazing Spidey #600 has one of those too.

I've had books come in one slab then do another submission with the same issue and they come back in the other slab.

We ended up searching the room next door, the room upstairs and the stairwell (which was on the other side of the room).

 

Didn't find anything out there. It sounded like there was a vibrator stuck in the wall somewhere.
