Appreciate the response, Bomber-Bob. Never even thought that it could just be a tiny piece of plastic caught up in there. Will definitely check it out in a few here.
Waiting on a response from my comic shop buddy. Unfortunately I live up in Canada and he is over in Michigan. He’s not too far away, but I usually only head down to his shop once a month and was just there this past weekend. Don’t know if he has any 9.8’s of this particular one, but did see a bunch of lower 9.6’s and 9.4’s up on his wall while there. Hoping he has one in the back or that he can send it back for me with his next shipment, assuming it is indeed a crack.
Anyways, thanks again and heading up to check if it is a plastic piece inside or not.
