SGC Slabs and Tampering
Posted By: Matt
Today in the mail, I received 3 different SGC slabbed cards, from 2 different sellers. I was looking at the slabs a little closer then I usually do and noticed that the 2 slabs from one seller have 1/2" marks at the top and bottom of their cases where it looks like something was wedged in between teh two layers of plastic. Then I checked the 3rd card and found it also has a similar mark on the bottom of the case. Which leads me to: |

Just received 9 today and all of my SGC slabs have that same small mark on the ends of the holder. To me this is an indication where the plastic slabs were broken apart after being molded. No signs of anything else between the two layers. |

That's what mine look like as well, so I guess it's nothing. Would the case look like if someone tried to pry it open? |

leaves a rough edge on about half of all SGC holders- top and bottom. I shave and sand them smooooth. |

If a slab has been cracked and put back together, it should not be as structurally sound. Hold the slab in two hands, top and bottom. Twist in opposite directions and listen for cracking. Properly sealed from PSA or SGC, they will not crack. Do not use Magilla to twist. |

I think the marks are residue from the hermatically sealing of the holders. |

Maybe it's where the machine holds onto the cases as they are sealed. |

They are mold gates. They are not related to the sonic welding. If you had two halves of a slab, in raw state never having been welded together, they would have these marks. |
