I just got these 2 in from BGS today and was surprised the Alderson got a 9 for an autograph. I thought the only way it wasn't a 10 is if the auto was smeared or if it's cut of on a sticker

Cut off autographs, ink skips, and ink pooling are the big three. A lot of the AFLACs have ink pooling issues. I can't tell from the scan, but I suspect there is some on the Alderson.

Maybe they kind of compare it to the majority of his other autos and pass a judgment call on the basis of that? I'm not sure why this would not get a 10...

I think I remember seeing a BGS 7 auto though I have seen some 8's. Not sure how much lower they go if at all.
