Would I have to get the comic regraded I would contact CGC about this since its a severe break they might want to regrade if there is noticeable damage on the comic but you can talk to them and show them the pics they might be able to do re-holder but they will make that judgement call when they see the entire book as it does look like the case has some large cracks through out. sorry this happened? do you know how this happened?

theCapraAegagrus Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 It doesn't look like the case is damaged near the comic, which typically means that no re-grade is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Nash Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I have a 9.8 comic in GGC at the moment for re-casing. It was received from an ebay purchase with a small splinter of plastic protruding over the top edge of the front cover. CGC are recasing as a Mechanical Error and at no cost to me. My only alarm is that its current status is said to be In the Grading section. Why ? My fear is that it may come back at a lower grade for some reason !! Anyway, this aside, the subject of damaged cases is an interesting one. I have found that even raw comics I have sent for grading to CGC have come back with 'brand new' cases but with a single score mark, scuff mark, or even a small scratch on the front panel. You often can't see it straight on, but turn it at an angle to the light and all is revealed. So, new cases can be defective at source, let alone what you my may purchase at auction, or on ebay ?

Please keep in mind that every book with a damaged case should be looked at by someone in the grading room to ensure that no damage occurred to the book. This may be why the book is said to be in the grading section. If no damage occurred, the next step in the process should be the encapsulation room, although sometimes the book or books will be stored in the safe before being encapsulated. As far as damaged cases go, just the process of handling and sorting slabbed books can cause slight scuffs or scratches to the outer holder; the holder isn't scuff and scratch resistant. Moreover, the slabbed books aren't usually placed in plastic bags until they reach the Quality Control department...

I just returned an ASM129 for recasing because when I received it from CGC it had three large scuff marks on the front. The CGC rep told me that the scuffs appeared to be either in the inner well or inside of the case (not sure how he could tell from the pics) and caused by vibration and friction during shipping. IMO rather large scuffs from what little movement would occur but they are providing a complimentary reholder so hopefully a clear slab will eventually be returned to me....
