My question is - over time - has anyone else seen this? I worry that more will develop this problem as years tick by.

I have never had that happen..

if you were the person who subbmitted it - maybe SGC will re-slab it for you with the same grade if they have u on file

Was this a larger SGC slab or a regular-sized one? I have noticed that for larger SGC slabs (postcard and larger), they are more fragile and more likely to come apart during shipping. I've never had any problem with regular-sized ones, however.

It's a regular size slab. 1959 Topps SGC 80 Berra to be exact.

SGC slab from Saco....with a CDV in it? (Kidding)

Yes, I bought six SGC graded cards from one seller, all of which had been submitted together early to mid 2012. While scanning them, two fell apart.

Under the cover of darkness, away from prying eyes, that card has secretly worked, for the last 15 years, little by little, to fashion an escape. Could anyone have the heart to re-imprison him. Wouldn't that sorta be Double Jeopardy?

I have never had it happened either, but I have often wondered if it does happen....

Mine were regular size.
