Did you copy and paste from the cgc boards?

Nope, there's enough to worry about with fig newtons, wavy beans and a super sized box. Why add paste to the recipe?

I read your post on the cgc boards. It was four times as long as the one here. Tiny blessings.

I'm impressed that you read it.

Pro's

1. Case is solid and does not have the open sides the old case had.
2. Case is crystal clear.
3. The additional support around the encased label adds a level of stability that the old case sorely lacked.

Con's

1. Label. The grade screams at me, while the PQ barely whispers.
2. Newtonian effect. The book I received back is a black picture frame. The NE undermines all the pro's above.
3. Waves. Not just on the top edge as the old CGC holders were prone to do. Makes the book look like it was pressed improperly, which was not the case as it is was a 9.6 book before reholdering.

I've already made my viewpoint clear across the street, but at least get your facts straight.

This was misplacement by someone at CGC and not book movement.

That's even worse.

However, with no inner well and no seams around the book. The book will move. It's like riding in a car. If you are traveling at a rate of speed and then suddenly stop, the items that are not anchored down continue to move. Let's say that this book is doubled boxed inside a 1092 and a 1095. That box is dropped, falls off a conveyor belt, or is in a delivery vehicle that suddenly stops. When that box hits whatever it is that stops it from moving, the comic can continue to move inside the slab until it runs out of momentum or it makes its way to the edge of the holder. The cover may stay stationary and the insides might move, tearing the staples. The entire book might shift. Not something I'm willing to chance. I don't care who you or anyone else chooses to grade their books. I do care that they have enough information to make a decision that makes them happy.

Whether it was slabbed incorrectly or the book moved is really irrelevant as it still looks like crap. If the book had been in an inner well, the chances of either happening would have been greatly reduced.

Then you should care to get your facts straight and not make anything up in your imagination because you don't like someone. It was proven to be misplacement and when the owner tried tapping it down, it did not move.

End the speculation and start the process of determining what the problems are so they can be rectified. THAT is beneficial to everyone. Replace opinions with fact, and you'll be more credible
