CGC Comic Moves in Slab. Normal? 0

[finalfan7asy]

Hi Everyone,

New to owning a CGC graded comic that I recently acquired online. However, I noticed that the comic plastic bag/holder inside the slab moves a little bit when I turn it upside down. Is this common or should it be a tight fit?

Thanks!

I had a similar book with the same issue, and I was told that it had to do with the size of the comic and the older cases. You could always get it reslabbed.

I actually have two different books with the same issue right now, I’m thinking of getting them reslabbed.

It is a modern age comic (late 80s) in the slab that was prior to the new thick ones.

How much is it to reslab? I’m assuming it will come back in the newer slab regardless of what slab it was originally encased in correct?

I haven’t sent mine in yet to be reslabbed, but I think it’s $15 per. I would assume a new case too.

I have one such comic in a slab. It is in the "to be re-slabbed" pile.

While 15.00 sounds cheap, the biggest cost of getting a book reslabbed is the shipping charges both ways. I think all of you are being silly. 1st, it is perfectly normal for the book to move around slightly. It actually safeguards the book from damage. You need that wiggle room. 2nd, you may get it reslabbed only to have the same problem. There is also the risk of handling, shipping type damage to the book . Save your money and spend it on new books !

Good to know. I was not sure if the movement was a defect. Thanks for the info!
