Will these grade 9.8 with this mark? (What is this mark from???) 2 2

Hello! I need some help with a common mark on comics I have seen several times over the past 6 months. There appears to be an imprint (looks like a nail from a thumb) on the top left corner on the back cover of several comics I have. I first noticed this when all 4 copies of Magic #1 Santa Fung variants had them and now 13 out of 15 copies of SIKTC #1 8th print has them and even my BRZRKR #1 2nd print foil has it. Has anyone else seen these, would they get 9.8s, or do they need to be pressed or worked on? I was able to use a tack iron and ball on a few but they still had a small mark that I could never get out 100%. And does anyone know the name of these if they have one or know what they are from?

We can't come close to accurately grading this without full pics of at least the front and back cover.

However, this appears to be a manufacturing defect and nothing to sweat in terms of grading deduction.

Thanks.

Im basing this on if everything else where to be "Perfect" would these marks deduct from the grade from a 9.8 to a 9.6
