I realize this is a threadsurrection, but I was doing some print defect analysis and ran across this thread. I thought you might find this interesting.
The Amazing Adventures #11 print defect (also called ink smear, print smear and roller smudge) has been found on every copy I've inspected. Since it is also present on the 9.8 below, it would appear that CGC does not deduct for print defects of this nature in 9.8 and below.

As such, I would assume that CGC will also not deduct for similar print defects on 9.8 and below, such as the one found on The Eternals #12.
Is this a good assumption, or are there other factors involved? If so, what are they? Possibly the size of the defect, or the percentage of books that do not have it?
Please discuss.
