noelbeast Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I don't have the slab in hand so I can't measure: is the comic just smaller than the typical modern size, so it fits in the slab funny? I've never seen something like this before. Apparently it's in a standard-sized CGC slab, and it looks like it's seated inside the inner well for the comic, even if that inner well appears far too wide.

My example has those plastic tabs in the slab, which seem a lot less effective that what I'm seeing in yours: a nice pocket made of seals to keep it firmly in place.

I don't understand why they would, out of the blue, make this comic a thinner size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before, looks like the comic is still inside the inner well, but to the extreme right of it. But also, when you compare it to the left border of the well, the right side seems to extend out further & almost to the edge of the label, unlike the left. We're talking millimeters here, but I can't stop thinking about how odd it looks. Production/slabbing issue that got past quality control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the way it is centered it makes it look like one of the 90's sized ashcans.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood1892 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Wouldn't the Well just shift and that's why it looks that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
