Writing inside front cover 0

[MichaelTurnerFan]

Hello there,

I'm wondering if this will drop the comic grade by a lot or little based on these pictures you see. Looks to be writing inside of the front cover but cannot be seen from the outside. 

Thanks!

Since the writing is reversed I would think its from someone writing on a piece of paper on the outside of the front cover and the depression picked up color from page 1 on the inside of the front cover.  Its hard to tell what the impact on the grade would be because its not writing, but instead is color transfer.  Has the book been pressed?  I would think the pressure needed to transfer color would've caused the depressions to be more noticeable on the outside of the front cover.  Not taking into account the the depressions I don't think the color transfer will have a huge impact.

Thanks for reply. I agree with your opinion and yes the book has been pressed. Just want to make sure it's worth to purchase and if I can get a decent grade on this cover because overall it looks immaculate other than this.

given that the book is from the modern era, and I wouldn't touch anything lower than 9.6 or 9.8 (unless exceptionally rare i.e. TWD 1), I wouldn't consider that particular copy
