You are welcome. It can definitely be very inconsistent. 1. If the grader does not recognize the Signature they can just list as "Writing or Name Written" 2. If the Signature isn't legible they can make the same note as #1. 3. They can give it either blue (which takes a grade hit or green where it is ignored. They do say you can make a note which you would prefer, but ultimately it is up to them which they decide to go with. Just like my above examples (which is why I chose those specific ones to share .

Yes. For a few reasons. 1. To have a picture of it to see. 2. Encase CGC fails to mention it . 3. To have a picture if you go to sell the book. Even if it gets the blue label it should still make note that it has the writing (signature) I recently sent some in that had already been signed. One on cover the other interior.

When I am scrolling through the pictures/gifs/memes on my phone while two strangers are on either side of me looking at what I am laughing at.

I too would agree with other to not resubmit this one. Both top and bottom corners on spine side as well as that bottom staple would more than likely keep this as a 9.6 max, and as other have said you run the risk of it going lower.
