Crow331 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 So I pulled out some slabs I hadn't looked at in quite a while and 1 of the 5 has moisture bubbles in it. What can I do?? Will CGC re-slab for free? Will they re-grade the comic? I'm sending in some new books so I could throw this in as well. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks all!

joeypost Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 That is an affect produced from the inner and outer wells. There are many threads about this (Newtonian effect), it is not moisture and will not affect the book, but is unsightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow331 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Ohhhhhhhhh that's the newtonian effect. Sorry I'm new here but I've seen those complaints. I wasn't sure what people were referring to. Yes, it's unsightly. I hate it and I want it fixed. Will CGC re-slab it for free if I send it back to them or what's the fix? Thanks!

I think their stance is this is not worthy of them fixing for free as there's no guarantee the new slab will not have the same or worse issues. I use got back some comics I had graded. The first group I got back weeks ago look good, but had a few small rings. The comics I got back this week look great. I have not been able to find rings anywhere and I've tilted and looked at them every way imaginable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrover Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 My slab has moisture bubbles! Whew. I thought this was code for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Sounds like you don't really view your slabbed comics regularly, so the slab is 99% for protection, versus 1% aesthetics. Since it has been suggested that they are fine, just the Newtonian effect (2 dissimilar plastics refracting light at different angles), you might just put them back in the box and be happy that they are safe. CGC will not pay to re-slab due to Newton rings. They would have to re-slab every book they ever slabbed. Maybe someday they will figure out a way around it.
