1. It is far more likely that in 1989 the printer used knockouts rather than white ink to achieve the white webbing and lettering. In which case it wouldn't matter which order plates were applied all the webbing and lettering would be visible.
2. The places where the black ink appears to "bite" into the red ink line up exactly where white webbing and lettering would cross from the black into the red.
3. That there is one area where the white webbing is still visible over black indicates the rest was colored over by hand, as does the faint visibility of some of the webbing and letters under the black. If it was a black ink overlay at the printer, why would that area be missed?
4. Black ink does not always bleed through cover stock, it depends on the marker, and quality of the paper coating. Sometimes when you hold a book with color touch at an angle with light reflecting on it, you can tell where black marker has been applied as its reflectivity differs from the black ink.
5. The black marks at the top also line up with where the white webbing would go to the top of the cover art.
As certain as I can be without holding the book in hand, all evidence points to the webbing being colored in with marker, and would be very surprised if CGC reversed their notation. It would be helpful if they were more specific about the where of color touch in their notes.
