Fake CGC Slabbed Book? 0

[Coolio McCool]

Just got this "CGC" Saga 1 back in the mail from a seller, seems like a fake to me?

Real Gen 13 9.8 provided for reference. Problems here:

1) The case is completely different construction, wrong thickness, feels super flimsy.

2) Top label is on the OUTSIDE of the case!

3) Front label has no watermark.

4) Hologram is completely different and has no texture.

5) "9.8" is faded compared to real slab and wrong size.

What's the verdict?

It looks fine to me.  One book is in the older holder, and the other is the newer one.

Ok, you're probably right. So old holders had the top label on the outside of the slab?

[comicdonna]

I think both labels do.  Don't worry about that top label on the outside of the slab.  It means nothing.

Missed the outside part.  Yes, the older holders have the top label on the outside.

That’s just a second gen holder.  Completely different look and feel than the newest.

Ok, I'm an insufficiently_thoughtful_person, thanks for clearing this up. Good job CGC with the new holders, they make your old products look like cheap fakes!!
