Abel G Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I recently purchased two CGC Golden era Mickey Mouse Magazine Comics on eBay and I noticed the slabs have opening on the sides, enough for me to stick a business card through. I was wondering if this is normal for a golden era comic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazyboy Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Yes, that's normal for ~15 years worth of older comic slabs and all magazine slabs. The Lions Den and Randall Dowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 On the older slabs, you can stick a piece of cardboard in and do away with the so-called Newton Rings. They cleverly eliminated it in the newer slabs so you have to reslab the books with Newton Rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 It's normal for that particular generation of slabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a number of them from last year that I can slide things into if I chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
