Show us the grader's notes when you receive them. 

I'll put the notes up with the books when they arrive. Unless I flee town before that.

That looks like it was damaged during the encapsulation or during the shipping. That is damage, no way a 9.8. Assuming you submitted the book you should contact CGC. If you bought it, I think you should return it and get your money back. 

Agreed. That wasn't graded a 9.8 with that crease. Damage occurred after grading. And CGC hasn't eased up, their copper/modern grading is super strict right now. They are also downgrading for production defects which were previously not downgraded for like printers creases and bent staples. Which is where a lot of the frustration lies. If you are going to change the rules on what you downgrade for, fine, but at least let your customers know that you are changing them and what you are changing.

A bad press can also revert to pre-pressed condition. So while being graded the pressable defects are not as evident. I am not saying that is the case here but it certainly happens.

Now I am hesitant to return this comic back to the seller since Umbrella Academy is now heating up on eBay. A raw VF/NM copy was sold for $150 on eBay. Crazy!.
