It implies that 'yes', you can indeed open a slabbed comic.<br /><br />A side-note... I am shamed by the poor condition of my own Cerebus collection -- permanently strewn all over the floor as I forage for something to post on AMOC each day -- but comics are for reading, aren't they?<br /><br />Mind you, if I did own that 9.4 graded Cerebus #1, I'd probably leave it 'slabbed'.<br /><br />TimA Moment Of Cerebushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02718525538144698138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-11804597876504796232014-02-17T09:16:30.401-06:002014-02-17T09:16:30.401-06:00Never having seen a slabbed comic in person, I mus...Never having seen a slabbed comic in person, I must ask: are these sealed like Tupperware, so that the eventual owner can, foolish as it may seem, carefully pry it open and actually READ the comic stored within, despite decertifying the CGC grade in the process? Or is the book forever trapped, the only sign of it's worth being the displayed cover? If the latter, it seems a ridiculously ironic fate to confine a book so that the contents for which is it reknowned can never actually be viewed.<br /><br />Any one know the cause of the .2 deduction for that #300 up there? Greasy fingerprint smudge somewhere in the black area? Signature not quite legible enough?Michael Grabowskinoreply@blogger.com
