CBCS on CGC

CBCS's Steve Borock, apparently raises some big issues regarding CGC's new holder.

Is this a mere splash in the 'Slabbing Pond' or a typhoon?

There are some good points there. I have an Invincible Iron Man #1 (2015) 9.8 in the new holder right next to me as I type this.

Pros
The label sticker on the top edge is finally encapsulated. Many of my original CGC stickers simply come off, but now it's not a problem

The actual case dimensions are smaller and more compact - more closely resembling a PGX case, which is a good thing because regardless of the integrity issues discussed about PGX, their case is really nice

Cons
The label sticker on the top doesn't feature a volume # or volume year. It only says "Invincible Iron Man #1", which really is a huge lack of information when trying to use that label to find a book as we live in the age of reboots with 7 or more standing "volumes" of a book like Invincible Iron Man #1.

Newton Rings. It's true. This book has them on the back cover, and in the most obnoxious fashion near the lower staple, which is also manifesting an issue exactly as described by Steve from CBCS in his post.

The book appears to be only secured in the case by compression from the clasping of the front and back of the shell rather than any inner tab securing the book.
