IbukiLord Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Hoping I can get some insight here on what to do with this, ordered my first CGC Signature series and it just arrived today, sadly it seems the case in the top left has been damaged during shipping. Unfortunately I cannot get this reslabbed due to my location and I don't intend to resell at any stage. Is this something I should be worried about? The crack can only be seen from the back or side, there doesn't seem to be any holes or openings anywhere. Last thing I wanted to happen with my first CGC signature purchase but alas Pics below for reference.

I ask, because the bolded comment would not make sense to me, if that is the case. If you bought this from some else, I would suggest contacting them to see if they can have it re-holdered, and then re-send to you. That would take some time, though. I personally don't like it, but as long as the integrity of the case is not compromised, there's really nothing to "worry" about. I have quite a few cases that have chips/cracks in them. I plan on getting them re-holdered soon. The Lions Den and IbukiLord 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Also, if you bought this from someone else and don't want to work out them getting it re-cased, then you could ask for a partial refund just in case you have the means to send it to CGC for a new one.

I already got it for 50% of the listed price so it would be unfair for me to take it up with the store I bought it from since I got a big discount already. Thanks for the feedback, I feel a bit more at east knowing I don't have much to worry about with this, nothing seems compromised from what I can see.

Nice. Yeah, with that discount, I would feel the same. If you ever find a local shop who's also a CGC Dealer, they should be able to send it in for re-holder. I would suggest it. Should cost you $15 plus whatever the local shop charges you for their services/shipping. Krismusic, The Lions Den and Crops068 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is for my personal collection so if a cheaper option becomes available or I decide to use the local services to do some other CGC books maybe I will throw it in to keep costs down. Thanks again. theCapraAegagrus and Krismusic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbukiLord Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Little update, I spoke with the store I bought this from and they are putting in a claim as the package was insured, so looks like I'll be getting my money back in full once the claim has gone through and still get to keep this item. I might use the money to pick up a Supergirl #18 Artgerm cover 9.8 CGC I've been eyeing. Thanks again for the feedback here.
