This would be a 9.8 in the new Yellow/Green label.

The Green label provides a way to distinguish comics that have unique issues and allow not only the comic to be completely identifiable for its "uniqueness" but also allow the market to decide its value by providing all the available information - including the grade that it would have achieved, but for its "uniqueness."
In sum, there are a lot of people who feel the same way that you do about the Green label. But for those who like to appreciate the book as the sum of its parts, especially when there is something different about it, the Green label is very beneficial.
