Corallas Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) So I just bought this book from facebook marketplace , the buyer said the case was in great shape when we were negotiating . It is interesting because in a certain light it looks clear but in another light there are like 100 or more disortions that look like the pictures . They wont come off from cleaing the case so I dont think they are spots . Any ideas on what to do ? Guessing this would effect the value if I resold it ?

Phill the Governor Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Unfortunately this is way more common than you would think. It's a scratch on the plastic, scuff on the the innerwell, not the book. I have a copy of Walking Dead 48 that is like this only worse. I am pretty sure that if you send an email to CGC with photos showing its inside the case, and it's bad enough, they will offer a complementary re-holder (minus shipping costs?). Could be wrong.

Acually still wondering how the inner well could be damaged Cool that there is a chance of it being re slabbed for free though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really affect value. Corallas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William-James88 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 This is normal. A new slab recieved directly from cgc could look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I didnt think it was damaged via mishandling , but the other slabs I have are not like that and the seller said he had never seen anything like that before .

Corallas Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 I'm trying to look at the positives like "ok well I can get the book cleaned and pressed and maybe get a higher grade :" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
