Slight dilemma

[tricky4815]

Need some help here with a recent purchase I got. I bought what was described as a Batman 244 raw NM- from a dealer for $70. It arrived today and upon inspection there are two 3" large non-color breaking creases on the front cover. So obviously it's nowhere near a NM-. Here's the tricky part. I open the book to the first page and I see what looks like a Neal Adams signature. Here's a pic since I don't own a scanner:

 

 

What would you do in this scenario? Return the book or keep it? Thanks!

Return it.

 

Adams is an extremely EASY signature to get.

 

Next question.

Sounds like the dealer may have sent the wrong copy !!

No, it's the same book as far as I can tell from the scans I initially got. The weird part is that I also asked and got a back scan so I'm surprised they didn't catch the ncbs on the fc. Looks like they just graded the book when it was in the mylar!

Yeah pretty surprising as I've only heard good things about them.
