Brand new comics, corners slightly torn, still 9.8?

So I have a few ASM#700s that I have debated getting slabbed, but wondering, for new comics never opened, would these corners stop them for getting 9.8s? I'm not sure how CGC distinguishes between production and normal wear/tear.

 

It seems like almost all of them have something similar.

 

Thanks!

If that's the only defect, it won't stop the book from coming back a 9.8.

Thank you for your comment!

 

If it doesn't have the tear, it would be possibly 9.9.

Thanks, it's funny because as far as 9.8s go, they typically already look "perfect" to me, so when I see noticeable edge wear, I wondered if it automatically would be out of the high grade ballpark.

 

Thank you
