The heavier sleeves CGC use to ship slab in needs to change, they are to stiff and cause rubbing in shipping.

Notice the pattern of the wrinkles of the sleeve and scuffs on the slab are the exactly same.:facepalm:

This happened to me circa 2014 with a batch of Watchmen #1s with same black back covers.  The main culprit, heat and summer.

Sitting in FL shipping warehouses then all the hot trucks via shipping. 

Also some of them had the inner well cooked and warped a little from the heat. 

I got them reholdered for free of course and they came back fine.  Good luck!

They'll be changing them.  A lot of people talking about the problem with these new bags.

It's like they try to create reasons for MEs.

Just got mine back for Ross and they are the same. So what can be done? If my facilitator had the books signed, slabbed and sent to him to send to me, do I now have to send them back to him to resubmit for ME, and all in the 14 days time?

With all due respect, should we (the customer) have to now polish both sides of a brand, new case before adding to our PC our putting up for sale? That's like buying a new care off of the lot, and then getting it detailed.

Of course not, but scratches and scuffs happen. I can't count the times I've had to use this stuff to buff out a slab. Just passing on some info. I'd rather spend 20 minutes getting a scratch out, that wait 20 months to send it back and get it reholdered.

Exactly so. It's not "right", but can almost certainly be easier. I've gotten slabs from auction houses before with a few light scratches that weren't mentioned. It sucks, and it's annoying, but it's also much faster for me to just buff it out than have to deal with emailing, waiting on a response, mailing the book back, etc. It's all a matter of how much you value your time over being "in the right."

Exactly, I've bought slabs from all over the place, on these boards, and otherwise that came with a scratch or a scuff not mentioned. Unless it was hit with a #16 nail, I just buff it out.

@DR.X

How do these products last over time? Do they discolor plastic with age?

I've used it on headlight lenses, haven't noticed any problems

As far as I recall, it also has UV protection, since thats what causes a lot of problems for headlight lenses
