Why was this encapsulated in a magazine holder? 2 2

[the menace]

Hello everyone, I just got back an economy order that was a mix of silver and gold.

 

Pretty much everything was put into a comic holder except for this book and another. I’ve inspected bot and they seem flat enough and within the dimensions to be encapsulated within the comic holders.

 

Just asking to see if anybody has had this happen as I don’t really like the size or how the magazine holders feel. Doesn’t help that these books were stuck in encapsulation for around 3 weeks just to come back like this.

 

Thanks, and please let me know if you need more photos.

If that’s the case this kind of sucks. Both books should have been comic book sized and now I’m with these behemoth sized holders that look like they are damaging the books 😭

I've had plenty of golden age books that were in old magazine holders that miraculously fit into the new standard size cases upon re-holder. This copy exhibits zero/minimal spine roll and is far from mis-wrapped. Someone got lazy and grabbed a magazine holder rather than actually try to properly fit this copy into a standard holder.

 looks very much like your copy

one of 12 copies on HA archives alone in standard holder

Maybe CGC should add GA holders instead the standard and magazine holders.

Logic suggests that CGC thinks it could be easily susceptible to SCS damage in a regular comic-sized holder. It doesn't really matter what we think while looking at pictures on the internet; It matters that CGC took care in trying to make sure it won't be damaged by their case.
