While scanning some books I began to notice this mark on a huge portion of my BA comics, mainly 20 or 25 cent books, only Marvel. All in relatively the same location, upper left-hand corner. Every mark is pretty much identical. 

 

Any idea what it’s from specifically. Some type of printing mark but I’m curious if anyone knows what causes it or if anyone else has noticed it before on their books.

 

I put more effort into setting up these pics then any answer could possibly be worth but I didn’t have anything else better to do ha.

 

Also while we’re at it can/does anyone want to name all eight books. Most should be pretty easy.

 

First picture gives the clearest look at the mark.

Second picture I’ve circled the mark for each of the eight books. 

Last picture is just for guessing the books if anyone wants to try.

 

Hopefully you’re able to see what I’m talking about. 
 

 

I think you're ready for that grading position at CGC...

Alright I'm embarrassed to say that you all are correct, it's a mark on my scanner. I'm my defense I cannot remove it. I've tried cleaning solution and just my fingernail and it won't budge, in fact I can't even feel it. I say this because I've wipe/dust it regularly while scanning and still the mark remained which is what led me to believe it was a printing mark. So all and all I'm pretty embarrassed.

I’m badly OCD, so it would severely irritate me as well.

At least it’s not a Shakespeare-level spot problem, in the end.

If it was inside the glass, it would not transfer to the physical book. I assume Monstro inspected the physical books first.

@Monstro. I've seen miracles using acetone 90% fingernail polish remover on ink, when nothing else works.

I don't think it's transferring to the physical books.

My understanding was that it was was showing up on all of his scans and he assumed it was on the books when it actually wasn't.
