I am seeing an interior scratch on almost all the new CBCS cases at the bottom of the case - please see photo. I am going to bring it to CBCS' attention but wanted to know if anyone else is seeing it and if it has been reported to CBCS and if so what are they saying about it The scratch is about 2" and on a 30 degree diagonal. If it is a light background, it is next to impossible to see but on a dark background it is easy to see. |

It took me awhile to see the scratch. Not sure why.  |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

Yes...on almost all of my last submission and other's I have purchased recently, in total on over 50 slabs I own. It's quite annoying and I've specifically listed these scratches in the condition and description on my Ebay listings. Same scratch on every one, happened in production and I'm sure they're aware of the issue although it may not have been as visible before slabbing.  |

| I wonder..I just sent 12 books to MCS and most of them say scuffing on the case but they were brand spanking new!! maybe it's this scratch they are talking about....mine were all lighter covers and to be honest I didn't look the over too much as I knew I was just re-packing to send for sale. | ||

| Maybe it's a defect in the injection mold for the cases, a scratch on the mold's inner surface, so it shows up on every case. To get crystal clear plastic, the mold surface has to be polished to a high luster, or the plastic will look more opaque. If the mold later got scratched during handling or in the manufacturing process, it would imprint the scratch on each case. |

| I'd say it's not a scratch on the mold, I don't think that would escape the many eyes that would be on that. It's probably a temporary flaw in the process of encapsulation that's probably been addressed and corrected by now. | ||

 To answer your question, no, this is not where the comics go to die.

| While we do our best to make our cases flawless, there are times when production processes will show minor imperfections. This minor "scratch" on the front to the case is caused during the production process and not something that can be avoided. The item is not actually a scratch either. This is caused when the case is produced and in all of the slabs we produce. | ||

| Are we back to thinking it is a flaw in the mold then? or maybe a flaw in the production process to cause a scratch/defect | ||

| I posited that it was a scratch on the mold itself, and I'm sticking to it. | ||

 CBCS Pressing

SteveRicketts private msg quote post Address this user | |
| It's not a scratch, nor a flaw in the mold. The new CBCS case is so perfect that you are actually seeing a ripple in the resin from the injection of the plastic into the mold. The manufacturer has made a slight alteration with every batch to try to eliminate it. The current batch is ever so slightly better than the ones before it, but the ripple line is still visible. They are making a significant change in the next batch that will be produced. Hopefully this change will eliminate the ripple, but we won't know for sure until the next shipment goes into production. | ||

| @Jesse_O sigh..I miss the shows...Phish was ok...Further Festival was ok....but the real deal was great...pretty sure if they were still around I could convince the old gang to at least hit a show or two...going on the road to follow them I think would be out though as jobs and family really don't allow for a few weeks following shows from state to state and stadium to stadium like in the old days.....sigh..... | ||
