That's not good. We have to start putting some blame on the complainee. Some people take "No" for an answer far too easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does work, I've done it cutting up a strip of a backing board to stick inside, although more often than not it ends up scuffing the inner surface of the slab and leaving scuff marks. Would probably work better with a different material edit: Just to give a few more details, while on the newer slabs I don't think you can stick a strip through the sides as easily, on every newer slab I have I can still pry open the bottom of the slab enough to stick something in Edited March 27, 2022 by JC25427N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerryco33 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Unfortunately CGC stated I had to have reported it 2 weeks after I received it. Well I didn't know collectors would frown on them when I tey to sell them otherwise I would have sent it back. You would think they would QC it before mailing to me. This is what they wrote me after I sent pics to them. "Thank you unfortunately for a free reholder since Newton Rings are a normal occurrence this must be reported to us within 2 weeks of you receiving the submission. You can submit it for a normal reholder, all fees would apply and there is no guarantee the newton rings will diminish with reholdering as this is a natural occurrence due to the way the way light passes thru plastics with different refractive indexes." I tried to get a Mylar and paper into the slab like in the videos I have seen on YouTube but the outer slab won't come apart. My wife broke two fingernails trying to pull them apart while I tried to get the Mylar or paper thruough it. If anyone has a current vid of how to pry them apart on the newest slabs that would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corallas Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Does anyone have a timeline on this process ? Just today I received two books , one with extensive Newton Rings and one with moderate scuffing . Do they open the package and reholder the book relatively quickly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would speak to someone else. Regardless when you received it or from who, it's CGC's product and they should stand behind the flaw in the case design. I've never had a problem or was told of this 2 weeks rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdonaldblake1 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Newton rings don't damage the comic in any way do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just its appearance through the slab. Which is an odd QC allowance, given the product is basically a display case.
