ASM 797, Alex Ross Cover 0

[Bakerbr13]

I really like black covers. But.....for grading purposes  I think they are a nightmare. Black makes every single little defect stand out. I bought two copies of ASM 797 Alex Ross Cover and the top left corner in both of them does not hold up under a magnifying glass. My eyes deceived me at my LCS.

I would feel ridiculous if I brought a magnifying glass to my LCS. Do you think getting a 9.8 on this cover is going to be crazy hard because of the black cover? I was considering sending the nicer of my two copies to cgc but will probably pass now that I have had a chance to really inspect it.
