Reholder? 1 1

[Hollywood1892]

Does CGC simply take a book from a damaged slab and put it into the new slab?

Does CGC notice things like rust on staples, or folded corners during a reholder process?

How much attention to detail goes into reholdering?

If the slab arrived to you damaged, and the comic was injured from the impact, you can ask them to fix it (press it).  Possibly they will, if it's reported within a short time of receipt.

If it's a slab that was graded in the past, their "go to" move is to put it in a new holder with the same grade.  But they reserve the right to regrade the comic if they see apparent problems that shouldn't be there in the assigned grade, like if it got damaged on the way to them.  There is some "grade risk" with re-holdering.

Yes, CGC graders should carefully look the book over during the reholder inspection to make sure the information on the label matches the book...
