2miller0 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 So I purchased an Amazing Spider-man #1 (2014) 9.8 grade on eBay and the first day I noticed as you’ll see on the files attached, the paper on the top of the slab is not centered/even. The other comic slab pictured with it is from a different seller but is just to show how suspicious the Spider-Man slab looks. Is this maybe tampering and should I return it???

2miller0 Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 The comic also seems slightly off-centered inside the slab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t wanna get scammed lmao I’m sure you might have an idea whether or not it’s a scam. I have a life so taking my own time to contact CGC or something isn’t in the cards.

Because if you're OCD about the slab you mention, this thread will keep your socks on in the future to be sure the actual pics in the thread no longer upload, but if you click on the picture "links that didn't upload" (due to an old thread) you'll see the slabs throughout the decades, differences and etc 2miller0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 No reason to worry! With the old slabs, the label was on top and would frequently fall off. Enjoy the book and welcome to the hobby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
