Looks like they leave the bottom unsealed so you can still read it.

 

Why didn't CGC think of that? I have some slabs I really want to read and dont have a reader copy...

AND has the cgc number correct. 1109325021

 

Hmm....reslabbing a comic or unlableling it from one company to another.... That is straight up fraud is it not?

Kind of weird but when you enter in the verification number from the back of the books onto their Asset Verification page none of the ID# starting with 141001001xxx shows up in their system. Also, the only id# that seems to show any verified books start with the following id# 140000000XXX. The last 3 numbers, starting with the number "9" are in increments of 3's. Book 009 has been verified to belong to a board member. In-between #21 and #78 are quite a few books that are listed but aren't graded. I just thought that they would assign out numbers in order and as they come in they would be graded but I just thought it was strange to have gaps of ungraded books in between. I guess its just a different numbering system they're using.

Well they do offer Re-grading services. Unbelievable that someone would send in a CGC graded 9.6 and spend the $32 to have them reslab it under that label. Does the book show a CGC grade? I know the listing does. If the CGC grade is on the slab then how will buyers know that the numbers just aren't swiped from legitimate books especially with so many images of CGC books are on line.

That my friend, was the point. Or, I was thinking, just to promote themselves, why not take the CGC label out and put in your own.

 

I really don't get the point of reslabs...I mean, unless the slab itself was damaged, why bother?
