Contact your distributor ASAP

You should look over the rest of the game. If that's literally the only fault you can find, you might be better off with this than a replacement they send you. (If your distributor would replace the game for such a minor imperfection)

This unfortunately is where CGC support and the amazing warranty on paper gets tricky. CGC has GREAT support for basic parts requests. When the issue is something cabinet related or playfield related it is difficult to fix and often costly to fix correctly. The ideal outcome doesn't often appear to happen. I hope they take care of you on this.

Mine had this and worse. I just dealt with it but maybe I am just too lax

Mine had the same on both sides and never got worse. I touched it up with red and black paint pens, and unless you’re using a magnifying glass in a brightly lit room you’d never notice it.

The problem is that if a collector is interested in buying I’m sure they will offer you less.

mine had the exact same problem and CCG told me the only thing they would do send me a new side decal (which in my mind is worthless)

Possibly. Worked out fine for me when I let it go. I certainly wasn't excited about it, but they did send me replacement decals... which yeah, are pretty much worthless considering the effort it takes to remove the old ones and install.

I was more concerned about the cabinet splitting, but was told by CGC it's a side effect of the wrap-around decals tearing that happens sometimes. They are 99.99% not going to replace it, I've seen quite a few where this happened. Again, the paint pen thing works great if it bothers you

Mine was in there pretty good too. Try putting pressure on the board so it doesn't bend, and gently pry the chip from one end until you barely feel it break contact, then do the same with the other end, and you should be able to easily pull it out after. Worst-case, you might bend the pins of the old chip which is useless anyways.

Congrats and have fun!
