May be a dumb question, but does cracking the slab in any way affect the CGC grade or lessen potential value if sold with slab having been cracked open at some time?
I'm sure I read somewhere on CGC that if the slab is cracked in anyway then the comic is no longer classed as graded by them. Something like that anyway. Read this many moons ago, so may all be different now.

CGC apparently use PETG inner sleeves now. As mentioned, the previous 5-7 year lifespan they gave for reholdering was with respect to the microchamber paper they sandwiched in the book when encapsulating it. My understanding is that even if that paper is "spent" in that time it is inert and will not cause any damage to the book. Regardless of whether or not the inner well is Mylar or PETG film it is archival and should have a life span that well exceeds yours. So there is no need to reholder unless you are concerned about replacing the microchamber paper.

CGC headquarters is in Florida where hurricane Irma is moving through. Hopefully they have a secure place for all their books and slabs, but I bet there are worried owners of books that have been sent there right now throughout the United States.
