CGC pickups

I believe it happens when they vacuum seal the books in the inner plastic sleeve.

I wasn’t aware of them vacuum sealing them or any of the process really. Do you know if they still use the micro chamber paper? Doesn’t seem like they do that anymore.

I think they still do on certain books. I cracked a Hulk 181 9.2 for someone earlier this year that was just graded a few weeks prior and it had the micro chamber paper.

Older newspaper print books I think cgc may still use micro chamber. Cbcs was not because their slabs were not air tight so the book could “breath.” Now I don’t know since they now use a slab that’s sealed like cgc.

Sorry to hear that, same thing happened to me even after a press. Also I got a drop on page quality as well. It was some early Neal Adam Batman book.

I found another unopened mystery box in the back of my closet. I got this from MCS in June and it cost me $47.
