    • Paper: White
    • Minor scratches across slab surface. This item will be packaged with utmost care to protect against more significant case damage, but magazine-sized slabs are naturally susceptible to minor edge cracking and minimal blemishes from handling (NOTE: we cannot offer reholdering for those). Should reholdering be necessary, we strongly recommend minimizing transit risk by sending it directly to CGC rather than using us as an intermediary.
