CGC Sealing of Magazine sized books 0

[Ryan Snyder]

I have recently gotten a copy back of a CGC encapsulated magazine sized slab.  There seems to be a slit on the side that is open and not completely sealed.  Is this common on the magazine style slabs or is it something I should send back as a Mechanical Error?  I have attached pictures but would love some help/guidance.  

The book received a great grade that I am very happy with and arrived to me this way.  

 

Thanks in advance!

Good morning,

Thanks for your message.  Yes, the magazine sized holders are different from the smaller comic sized holders.  Magazine sized holders are only sealed at the four corners and not all the way around like the comic holders are.  What you are seeing is normal for this type of holder.

Thank you!
