PGM Invincible #1 Signed. 1 1

[BattleBeastVeteran19D]

Please help me grade this comic book...

 

As I was taking cropping pics I noticed black ink on the back cover in the word invincible. I've already locked the book in my saf so assume it's permanent marker from when it was signed. Corner damage all around and a small thumb crease on the top as seen in the last pic.

 

All spine ticks can be seen in the pics and no other issues besides the newly found marker on the back.

 

I bought #1-14 all signed by Kirkman and 4 signed by Ottley and I need helping figuring out if I keep the purchase or return cuz he said all were 9.2 or higher and as we can see qith #1, the most important issue, that's not the case.

 

So how what do you guys feel would be a fair grade on this book and if ur a signature guy how do u feel about the signatures?

 

Thank you for taking the time to help me figure this out, Nick

7.5/8.0 at best, but it would get a Qualified label. FMV will be less than the comparable book with a verified signature. Personally, I don't buy unverified signature books. I don't buy many slabbed signature books either b/c half the fun is the process of signing & grading. It looks like some of the verified Kirkman signatures, but you can never be absolutely sure.
