Superman: Adventures of the Man of Steel #0 / Glue from binding pressed onto pages 1 1

[HARDAC]

Hi all, first time posting and could use your input regarding sending this to CGC for grading. As it stands it's a 9.8, however, the glue from the spine/binding seems to have spread onto the outer pages in one spot, as well as stained through the inner spine of the first page. All the pages open with no issues and the book has never been pressed. I've had it for 20 years and never touched it. Is this considered a natural defect or will I get dinged for the binding glue and lose the 9.8? You can clearly see from the pic the black sticky glue came from the spine and stuck to the outside pages creating a stain. 

Thanks for your input.

I see this often on books from this era. I wouldn’t be too worried about it.
