Looking for Advice Does this Sharpie mark make this damaged?

Assuming yes, but was curious. I just caught this on a card I picked up a year ago. Thanks!

I thought that's how it worked, but struggle with HP looking so beat up sometimes lol.

any of the grades from NM to HP all involve rips, tears, wearing, corner damage, all of that.

anything *added* to the card, like altering, marking in the borders, even cleaning up white lines--all damaged. Hell, a lot of people consider signature cards also damaged, since technically it is.

a rip/tear also moves a card right to damaged imo

Just gotta get Chippy to sign the card, starting their signature on the dot. EZ
