From that picture, I would say no, it's not a 9.8. That's pretty heavy spine stress that I imagine it would be below a 9.0 in that shape. 

 

There is the possibility cgc determined that was a production issue.  I looked at a few on eBay to see if it was common and I didn't see any others like that (I only looked at 2 or 3 in fairness)

Some modern books have some serious spine issues in production. I remember some DC books a around the new 52 era being especially bad. If an issue is deemed to be a production error by those grading, then a 9 8 is obtainable. Like how amazing spider-man 361 could be 9.8 and still have a really obvious rip on the cover.

Same thing happened here. Best thing to do now for you would be to look at other examples of that book being sold.

It's graded 9.8 by CGC, yes.
