Bomber-Bob Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Terrible. That is no longer a 9.8 . This looks like a 1st generation of the new holder which used pressure to hold the book in place. Look at the fanning on the bottom edge of the book. I believe what is happening here is the cover is 'sticking' to the front while the rest of the book is shifting down. Unfortunately, this will get worse if the book is stored vertically. I would store the book horizontally to alleviate the pressure from gravity. I would advise contacting CGC but you will probably lose the 9.8 grade. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystafo Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Could be wrong, but it looks like there's a inner well in the holder. The first ones didn't have a vertical line visible in the holder like this one fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
