Pre and Post Crack-Outs Showing Permanent Damage From Waves

I think it is past time for CGC to dump these new and 'improved' CGC cases.

I had a couple cracked cases (Preacher #1 9.6 and Saga #1 9.8) I sent in to have re-holdered and also to check out these new cases. I received these cases back around a month ago and even tho I thought the Saga looked terrible with the newton rings, they both came back flat as a pancake and seemingly well protected in this tank of a case. I stored them away with the rest of my long term keepers. Last night, a buddy of mine gave me some advice to check the cases to make sure everything was still good. To say what I found completely shocked me would be a huge understatement. Both books have developed serious waves throughout the books themselves. Below are pics that I don't think show how bad the problem has become but will still give people an example of the damage caused by this holder to the book.

The first Preacher pic was taken the week I got the book back from CGC about a month ago. The rest were taken today. It is really hard to see the waves in the Saga, but the first pic I shined a light on a flat spot and the 2nd pic I shined it over one of the waves.

I have an email out to CGC, but I really don't want to just re-holder it again and worry if these books are still being damaged. I'll probably just get in touch with +Trey K and see if he'll bust these out and press them, let the other guys slab them and hope I haven't dropped grades.

Proceed with caution fellow speculators and investors!

Dump the case CGC, Part 2...

There seems to be disagreement whether these new CGC cases are causing damage to the books being held by said case. I'm completely unimpressed with CGCs response to my issues so I took it upon myself to free these books so there is some idea what is happening to them after one month of confinement.

1st pic - Saga 1 about to be freed plus tool used
2nd pic - In removing micro chamber paper I found a free gift from CGC... A clump of hair... Pretty nasty!
3rd pic - The back cover now has circular waves throughout
4th pic - Book laid on cover to show warping. Used to lay flat. You can also see more of the circular waving above UPC code.
5th pic - FREEDOM! (You would think no waves, right? See last pic)
6th pic - Thankfully no hair in this one, but maybe that because there is no micro chamber paper either....)
7th pic - Book lays much closer to flat that the Saga, but warping is taking hold as you move towards the spine.
8th pic - Warping up and down the spine that was NOT there before this book was put in the new holder.

There, books have been freed after a month in this new holder and documented and everyone can draw their own conclusions.
