bapowell Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hi all, just got my first-ever slabbed book in the mail today, and I noticed several small specks visible on the front of the slab. These are not on the surface (but not on the book either), so perhaps on some interior layer of the slab. I've tried to capture them in the photos below. Has anyone seen these before? Know what they are? Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregd Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I am seeing these in slabs I have bought recently too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Dragoon Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Maybe it's some kind of color-lift from the comic sliding around in the inner well during shipping. But hopefully it's just an imperfect inner-well that shouldn't have been used - and the marks are on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 It's scuffing on the inside of the slab. It's possible that this is an attempt to avoid Newton Rings. Robert_L and silverseeker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
