My X-Men 135 9.8 has something similar on the barcode.

That looks like a corner impact that was pressed out and likely is reverting, otherwise not a very pretty 9.8.  Not the same flaw as the Hulk 377.

It’s actually not a corner impact, there is no way to fold a cover like that.

Tried on a junk comic and could not fold it without the whole cover folding. This is why it gets a Near Mint/Mint grade, it’s not perfect with production flaws.

If production flaws were not overlooked, I doubt we would have any 9.8s.

CGC should be more consistent with proaction flaws like this, unfortunately they are not. 

If that’s the case, drop all ASM 300’s in 9.8 with the jagged right side cut down to a 9.6

Might still be attainable but no guarantee.

A press wont help remove it.

Your best option if you want a 9.8 is to opt for screening.
