How do I get a Slab from cgc at a 9.8 that has an obvious mark on the front of the book.  Seller lies and too late to send back to cgc but how does something like that get past their screeners and I am the one that gets screwed in the end.  Paid 9.8 price for a 8.5/9.0 slab

9.8 does not mean perfect.  It is allowed a very minor defect or two and keep in mind that tiny ding is still non color breaking.  While many people might agree that one defect is more in the realm of a 9.4/9.6 range defect if the rest of the book is as nice as it seems on the surface, but it is what it is, a beautiful very high grade book graded 9.8 by CGC.  Many people buy the label grade more than the book, and the book still presents really sharp even with that tiny non color breaking ding, so you should not have a hard time selling it.
