Downgrade for creasing on the back? If so, by how much?

Thor #263

As part of a very small batch of books recently purchased,

8 copies of the same book have these creases on the back

(the amount of creasing is different on each of the 8 copies)

 

These books from the front and inside look like they were cherry-picked from the shelves- ranging from 9.4 to 9.8... but what grade might I suspect from cgc with creases present on the back?

I can imagine someone thinking that they were pressed but I bought them from someone who had purchased them new and stored away.

 

If this happened during the print process/binding of the book would it count against the grade?

 

Thanks in advance-

or if there is a link I should read- anything would help.

sample of the worst one below-

the others are only single creased and not as severe-

Nope those are printers creases, Up to 9.8 they do not count. Super common on those early 80s marvel books.
