jokiing Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 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...

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. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
