I appreciate all the feedback given here. I’m going to bring it to a show this weekend where CGC will be and ask what my options are here. Even if that’s cracking it open. Then at least I would know it’s the inside flap or something like that. Again, this particular book I didn’t grade for resell. Joe Q was doing a signing and this was the best path of signature authentication should I add others from the book (K Smith specifically) at a later show and then have both authenticated properly. Thanks again everyone for the responses.

I did and it was fine so I’m rather confused. Maybe I’ll just bring it to the next show CGC is at locally and have them crack it open to double check that though. The grade is so low I’m not overly concerned with it at this point. I got it signed because I wanted it for myself and not resell.

I was trying to avoid the massive reflection these holders give off but I’ll try to take a more head on shot.

I have only submitted three books in my life but I got a Daredevil issue graded since I had it signed by Joe Q and it came back as a 5.5 This was obviously pretty low and I didn't understand why but also mainly did it for the auto so no big deal. Then I decided today to look up WHY it was graded a 5.5 and I am very confused. The grader notes say... "stain full right of front cover stain left center of back cover light bends to cover" There is no stain on the back and here are two photos of the front cover. Am I missing something? I must be because FULL RIGHT OF FRONT COVER does not show a stain at all to me. The Joe Q auto is actually really tough to see anyhow as well. It is to the lower left of DD's baton in gold sharpie to the left of his torso. Again, maybe I am misunderstanding the intent of the description. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated in understanding this. Thanks!
