For some reason I read it as the grade was a 9. If you got 9.5s as the card grade and a 9 on the auto, I'd keep that in the case. Beckett used to list out grades 5-10 on the auto grade and what would cause an autograph to generally fall into each one. I can't find it anymore but here's a post on another forum that helpfully kept it - http://www.dacardworld.com/blog/product-...cale-tips/.
9 - "This is a signature that is also very pleasing, but has slight imperfections that barely detract from the autograph. Very light bubbling or micro scratching is allowable, but no yellowing, fading, or smearing. Positioning should be nearly perfect – with just the very tips of a letter or two cut off or hidden."
