I have a couple of cut comb supers on and I noticed that the bees have put some pollen ( about 2%) in some of the cells as well as nectar(98%). Is this a problem .....How often does this happen......Can I sell the comb like that or not ????

Charge extra for those pieces

Yup charge more, people who like cut comb generally are more knowledgeable about hive products, and a nice ring of pollen is exactly that, NICE!

That's what I'd do.  Lable them "comb honey with pollen" and sell them for $.50 more.  I'd rather have the pollen in it myself too.
