CASE OF ABNORMALITY

Just opened a box of thirteen slabbed comics fresh from CGC and noticed the exact unusual mark on all thirteen near the lower left corner. It's not a crack, it sits on the surface and seems to me to be a molding defect. I inspected some earlier slabs from the McFarlane signing and there is a smaller defect, just not as noticeable. I imagine others may have received similar slabs.

This actually appears to be a manufacturing defect. This is something that usually gets taken care of by the Quality Control department, but it may be that they don't have much choice. I'd give them a call and ask about it...

Thanks.... Yes, I agree that it appears to be a manufacturing defect since it appears on all 13 of my new slabs and to a lesser extent on slabs from earlier this year. Wonder if they have a large batch like this.  MyComicShop always mentions defects such as cracks or scratches to their descriptions. Wonder if they would describe this as a defect... if one doesn't look closely it could pass as a crack.

Is this a new design, or does it seem to be due to the photo. The border area framing the well looks more substantial with almost an art-deco look to it, like Victorian molding in older homes.
