steve566 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) i just wanted to throw a question out there.. is it normal for magazine sized slabs to be off center? I have seen ton of examples on eBay and Instagram that were off center and just got my 1st mag submission back and 2 were very off center. Is this normal? should cgc fix this? I’m not super OCD but some are and this would drive them nuts. thanks Edited April 8, 2022 by steve566 Beyonder123 and oakman29 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Elf Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 If you whack 'em really hard against the wall, do they scoot over to the other side, or are they permanently affixed closer to one side than the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) No they aren't supposed to look like that. Doesn't even appear that they've slabbed those two using the correct size. You're just another victim of a company asleep at the wheel. Slabbed mag should look like this: I have no idea what the dimensions are on those foreign editions you posted and it would appear CGC doesn't either.

These are both oversized comics, neither come close to fitting in a regular sized slab unfortunately. On 4/8/2022 at 8:57 PM, darkstar said: No they aren't supposed to look like that.

They are bigger than what fits in a normal comic slab but smaller than a full sized magazine like you pictured.

No its not shaken comic syndrome. The inner well is set in this off center position I’ve seen others set off center just like mine.. here’s some quick examples I found on eBay wondering it’s worth the hassle to send in as a ME or if CGC truly set these mags like that on purpose 😵🥴 Edited April 9, 2022 by steve566 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha wow, thanks for the valuable input… just asking if it’s normal or not.. I payed to have them incapsulated by “the industry leader” and seems pretty half assed to not center the comics in the slab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve566 Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 Telling of what?

Axe Elf Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Playboys should be shifted to one side or the other, depending on which is your dominant hand. God I wanted to say "mounted" there... This is Who We Are, steve566 and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the photo, both comics look like they have spacers in the slab on the left side, maybe to fill the void and keep the capsule from moving around. If that is the situation and their intent, I doubt CGC would be putting spacers on all sides to keep it centered. Turns it into a project. steve566 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
