Can anyone give me a reason why this is a 9 autograph?

Uneducated guess... extra ink spots on left side?

Could be. Even with this very close-up scan I don't see how they take enough attention away from the auto to warrant a 9 grade.

I have a card with similar ink spots, also got a 9 for auto

I don’t know why this is even considered a flaw...I’d never do it but this could be fixed easily In 2 seconds with a wet q-tip and nobody would have know the difference. Just another reason in the growing list of why to not sub with Beckett.

The only possible flaw I can see is maybe the ink density on the end of the signature (lame autograph BTW, the trend of athletes just initialing as autographs is pretty disappointing) of his last name.

However, I've seen and have "10" autograph grades with weaker ink density than yours.

It feels like it's very subjective and you got penalized to the point where if you resubmitted it, the odds are it could come back a 10 auto. Not worth it 'tho, probably. I'd consider crossing it over to PSA who doesn't bother with auto grades if you were to crack and reslab.

I've never seen that. Super lame.
