Fingerprints?!

So its been a loooong while since I've posted, but after a rather extensive break I got back to submitting more of my collection.

I had rather good fortune originally but 2015 has been harsh as I just checked the grades on my recently shipped order. I've gotten 1 9.8 in the last 50 or so books. 1.

This is particularly odd to me as on a whole my prior submissions were easily half or more 9.8 - 9.6

I cared for all my books equally, it just seems the grading has taken a marked turn more stringent. I keep getting a particular note on fingerprints, which I have personally NEVER seen on any of my books.

Anyone else having similar experiences or is it just me? Any tips on a way to avoid the fingerprints issue? I look forward to hearing from others!
