Gped Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Hi, I just got some books back from CGC and almost half of them feel like the top isn't closed all the way. It's locked in but at the top i can actually press it and feel it close like the case isn't tightly secured. Then when I let go, the case open up a bit. It's not a big gap or anything its just noticeable when you grab the top of the case. Is that normal or are these defective? I attached pictures for your viewing convenience. (If you download the pictures and toggle between them you can see the gap a lot better.) Thanks!

theCapraAegagrus Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 That seems somewhat normal on my old-gen cases, but I don't recall this being a thing on the current-gen cases. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gped Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 yeah, it just seemed odd but it's not open or broken though. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qalyar Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 It's tough to tell what's going on here from the pictures, but certainly none of my current-gen cases appear to behave that way. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gped Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 looking now at all the sides of these books, they all have small cracks on the sides. I have to call them and have them sent back. this is almost all the books, how did all of these books get past quality control? I guess they're just trying to get through stuff too fast because of volume of submissions. I sent in 24 books and nearly all of them have these problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones you get back (if CGC accepts) will also have that. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gped Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 oh really? they look like cracks. Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 They are cracks, but by calling them somethin else, it diverts attention away from their screwups. Why correct things when you can divert? MAR1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why correct things when you can divert? mold flash and cracks are not the same thing. Mold flash refers to a cosmetic defect but not a structural one. All cases have that to some extent.

Come on man, why do you have to be like that? What did I do to you. Here is my question, if all CGC cases have mold flash, is it still a flaw or simply how a CGC case looks like? Is it a flaw that CGC would compensate for? Maskedvigilante 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gped Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 in case anyone was interested, i sent these books in on January 18th as mechanical errors and they fixed them all and I just got them all back. 7 books in total. Took about a month from when i shipped them to CGC to them sending them back to me. I also didn't have to pay for shipping. Thanks for the replies everyone!

So we've established they were in fact flaws, CGC agreed and fixed them. A teaching moment for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't actually detail what they did though, no notes or any explanations. But i got all of them back in new clean holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
