Authentic CGC case and seal? 0

[wildwing]

I recently purchased a (hopefully) CGC SS comic.

When I received the comic, immediately noticed there is no top label (outside of the case), and the left side of the case appears to have been (neatly) melted across the seam in order to seal.  Please see attached pics.  Are these signs of fraudulent activity (e.g. potentially tampered with, and/or not a CGC sealed case?)  I am new at this, so not sure what to expect.  Thanks very much...

Good morning, thanks for your message.  No, these look perfectly normal.  We no longer use the top sticker label on the outside of the book.  All top labels will be inside the holder going forward.  What you are referring to as "melting" on the holder is just how it can appear when our sealing machines seal the holders shut.  You can always double check your book on our CGC certification lookup feature on our website at www.cgccomics.com.

Thanks!
