Hi many thanks for the response. 
my query was more of a blanket ask, assuming the book is a 9.4- how would the grade be altered.

many thanks

Quite right. A single defect may be allowed in a certain grade, thus not reducing that grade. But it all depends on the overall grade of the book without the defect. In a high grade book the rust would certainly be more of a factor than in a low grade book.

Apologies for the lack of pictures as I am currently out and about but curious as to what kind of rust like this would cap the grade at?

It has zero migration both externally and internally

many thanks 

Hi all. Had a book pressed by a chap who regularly presses my books and gets fantastic results-- however this time, had an issue that's never happened before.

Got him to press my Edge of Spider-Verse #2 - 1st Gwen Stacy. Book now has this weird gray line on the edge of the spine. Rest of the book looks like a 9.6, but obviously this defect caused by the press will likely impact grade, and am wondering how badly it will indeed impact the grade.

Any thoughts appreciated. To clarify, he has offered to reimburse anything less than a 9.6 for FMV.
