At this time, we can no longer say “Case fresh back from CGC in pristine condition” as there could be several different types of minor collector perceived issues with the cases from the CGC encapsulation method and process. Many cases are pristine but we do not have the time to detail inspect every one and list what are now common matters. It has become too time consuming to resend these back to CGC, and many times the issue falls within acceptable CGC parameters. There are no cracks or large scratches. However, the case may show or develop Newton rings. The case may have a small amount of debris inside the case, light scuffs on the case or inner well and standard surface wear. The inner well may be slightly loose and move inside the case causing a very slight rattle (the comic does not move inside the inner well though). Case is secure at all four posts as shown in pictures.
