Hot Flips flip and stick bags

[reptilekingdie]

I just received a book in the new slabs and was trying to put them in Hot Flips, flip and stick bags and guess what the new slab did not fit, to big. I had just bought 200 bags. I am pissed beyond words and hope Hot Flips can come out with new flip and stick bags that fit the new slabs . I also noticed that the back of the label has plenty of space for inserting more names? Interesting?

Doesn't hotflips have flip & stick bags for thicker CGC cases? Perhaps those will work :shrug:

The new holder just came out.

 

And even if Jeff/Charles were given the dimensions of the new holder by CGC which I'm sure they weren't it would take awhile to produce new CGC bags that fit the obviously slightly thicker new holder.

I thought they were psychic - they told me they were.

That does suck. I know it's not anyone's fault but it still hurts. How much bigger is the new slab?

Slightly bigger. You used to be able to have a max 30 CGC book invoice due to shipping box size. They introduced a new invoice in Seattle that only allows 25 books on an invoice because that's the max that will fit in the same size box.

So it's thicker. Is it wider?

I think it's just thicker. I think you can stack old with new slabs so they should still be the same width/height.

Thank you. So this was all done to reduce the number of books per invoice, generating more invoices, thus more invoice fees.

Are the measurements posted anywhere old vs new?

Once I get my newest slabs back I can take some measurements, unless someone beats me to it

I shoved the thicker CGC slab for a double sized comic into a normal sized CGC peel & stick bag. It's tight as hell but it fit. Is the new slab thicker?

[BeachBum]

Yes, the new slab is thicker.

I can fit GSX 1 slabs in bags from Clear Bags.

 

Curious to see how the new CGCs fit.

[reptilekingdie]

I attempted to put the new slab and ripped the bag down one side.

[reptilekingdie]

Well I attempted the bags again and low and behold they work on the new slabs, my bad.

Makes a great dinner tray,even has a side slot for ketchup dipping

I have a whole bunch of the cgc-mylars bags ( yes I know they are not actually mylars ) that fit the new slabs, old slabs and even the thicker slabs.
