| @Odvar no, it's their new slab that is sealed on 4 sides. The old slab can pull apart on the sides just like a CBCS slab. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DarthLego That makes no sense. The micro paper wasnt needed because their slab isnt sealed. So they get rid of the paper and seal the slab? Wth? |

| @shrewbeer the need for MCP has been questionable anyway. They sealed all four sides, but the slab is not airtight according to reports. Supposedly someone dunked one in water, but I haven't seen this. | ||

| If you dunk your slab into water, then yeah you will have water damage. I don't think it says anywhere that any slab from any company is air tight sealed, which is why they say that there is an expiration for the slabs themselves. CBCS says to keep your slabs in a low lit and room temperature (dry) area. | ||

| @Odvar slabs do not have an expiration date. The old CGC slabs had a recommendation of reslabbing every 7 years because that is the absorption life of Microchamber Paper. After 7 years the paper will no longer absorb gasses. Since both companies now have decided MCP is not really a benefit, slab lifetimes are almost indefinite if stored and cared for properly. | ||

| @DarthLego Ahhhhhhhh, gotachaaa. That makes sense. So there shouldn't be any water breaking into the slab. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by CFP_Comics I know when you sell something you always want to top out and get close to the highest selling price but I just pulled these sales up from 3 months ago on go collect for auctions. So the price that you got going the auction route seems pretty in line. I will say the Fixed price way looks to be the best way to get the full potential out of any book as long as your willing to wait.   |

If CGC really is sealing their slabs, that's yet another reason for me not to buy them. No ventilation means a nice white page book will be off-white much quicker  |

Quote:Originally Posted by mattness No one seems to know why...? Who are you talking to? Many people know why PGX should be avoided. PGX has been caught colluding with various people in their Oregon area to actively defraud buyers. Read and learn: http://www.justafanboy.com/PGX/ CGC hasn't done anything close to that, much less "more." That's not theory, that's not competitive malfeasance, it's verifiable fraud. One ought to do one's research before defending something and calling into question the official positions of CGC, CBCS, and others. |
