I'm surprised there's no discussion here about the new CGC case. Any thoughts?

It is bad. There is no doubt about it. The Newton rings are just minor compared to the waves on some books and color transfer. Then there is also shifting in the slab. Steve Borock said in his discount post that the way CGC is slabbing now was considered when they were starting up but it proved to be a bad option so they went with the now previous method. I completely agree that is is a really bad idea to have the book stay in place by sustained pressure on the perimeter of the book. I don't know what they were thinking but I think theyh were not thinking about the books at all.

CGC tried to downplay that the problems were "minor" and rare but that is not how it sounds going by reports all over the web. They also claim all is fixed without explain how it was fixed or that there was any "real" problem in the first place.

In other words CGC dropped the ball again on a problem.
