ASM #361 Tampered with?12162

Collector Chris977s private msg quote post Address this user
Hey guys! Just made my first "big boy" purchase and picked up a signed Amazing Spider Man #361 by Mark Bagley in a 9.6. Upon receiving it I immediately noticed both of the sides were open. So like any logical human would do, I researched it and come to find out it's normal for these air pockets. But both sides are open a great deal. No other scratches or dents that I could find. What do you guys think? Is this normal?? If you need any more pictures feel free to ask. Thanks for any/all responses.

Edit: This is my first time owning a CBCS slab so I'm not familiar with how they're supposed to be.

@MutantMania Phew! Thanks for the clear state of mind. Was worried a bit that it was tampered with and I spent a small fortune on something unauthentic lol. Thank you very much!

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
Congrats on the great book and great signature placement and appearance. A lot of signatures I see completely ruin the cover.

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
@Chris977s. I second @MutantMania motion that this is normal so no worries. Otherwise, FedEx has been doing a lot of tampering to the comics that CBCS has shipped back to me. The big key is that heat seal mark that runs through the CBCS emblem on the top right corner.

Awesome book! Congrats!

@Chris977s Yeah, it's the older CBCS cases. As long as the inner seal is still sealed you're good. The newer cases are due out any day now.

PS: very nice comic!

Sweet buy!

Is there always a gap or in the pic are you prying it open a bit to show us?

If its always open you could get it re-holdered to ease your mind. But ya it’s normal.

@HulkSmash Thanks! I was prying it a tad to show that it was easy to open. I will get it reholder once the new cases come out!
