Any CBCS case may have minor imperfections including Newton rings, scuffs, standard surface wear, or minor cracks. CBCS considers these defects acceptable, as do we. If there is any significant damage to the slab it will be noted in our description, and we will not list any slabbed comics with a damaged case that compromises the integrity of the grade.
