Jfend72 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hi all, Received my first submission of book back and I see that there is something odd with the slab. I thought moisture at first, no clue. If you press where the discoloration is it moves somewhat. I didn't see it on any of the other books. I do live in Maine so maybe riding in the postal van caused this as the cold weather may be the culprit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvipah Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) That looks like the Newton Ring effect. You can read about it here. If it's bad enough you can send it back in to be re-slabbed: Edited February 11, 2021 by xvipah Fisionbomb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 It's a common problem. It won't damage the comic. Buzzetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 It's not good, it's not bad, but it is ugly. adampasz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 It's just the static cling effect of two pieces of plastic touching one another. It's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jfend72 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Wow, if that "Newton" post was any closer it would have bitten me Thanks for the clarification everyone, much appreciated. P.S. I get that its a "thing" in the CGC world, plastic on plastic, but honestly either someone is having an item slabbed for presentation or resale and this would be an issue for me. Not sure how that is ok with QA and it gets sent along. Good news is that it was the only one of the 24 I got back. adampasz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 sometimes it will lessen over time, the effect is two pieces of plastic on top of each other so stored flat I have had it lessen but not go away completely. An intrepid individual might do what some others have, and carefully insert some sturdy but non abrasive paperish material to get in between the 2 pieces and free them from their embrace and then pull back out. Light pressure on the sides may open a crack enough to try. It takes a brave soul but can be done from what others say, at least I think that worked at one time.
