Yep....   It goes back into my collection, a story to be told that it was a beautiful 9.6 with a beautiful signature until the graded book was put into a slab......while they were putting the comic between the two plastic slabs there was some kind rub that caused the paper scratch...   At first i thought it was tape or something on the outside of the slab but nope...it's on the inside.

I think it's the way I took the picture that gives you that impression, there was no grader notes on either.

Sorry it happened to you Etreiw. It's a lovely signature. If you haven't already, I'd contact CGC to see if there's anything they can do for you. It wouldn't grade a 9.6 with the scratch, so being inside the slab, and with your before and after photos, I'd like to think it's a clear case (no pun intended) of negligence on their part. Good luck. 

I believe QC scratched it before encapsulating the book.

Family members have mentioned I should try to get a credit refund,  if I didn't have enough going in my life right now, I would play the email tag game with CGC.
