  1. Thought that was just a scratch. In that case 6-6.5. I don't blame you for wanting to try.
  2. Either a scratch, hair or printing defect. If a scratch I assume would limit to 9.6.
  3. 8.5-9.0 depending on what kind of day grader is having.
  4. It needs a press, but 9.4 after due to color rub. 9.6 if that's not color rub and can be cleaned.
  5. Not sure how bad they ding you on the staples, but I am going to err on the side of caution and say 8.5. Slabbed it will present like a mid 9.
  6. I agree the top book is in just slightly better condition. Maybe an 8.0 on book 1 and 7.5 on book 2. Did the listing use a stock image? I always look for that before bidding. Also what grade did he list it at?
  7. It can be done. Not sure I would trust most pressers to do it though as you can risk damaging the book.
  8. Can't see the creases so hard to say. They should in theory be pressable.
  9. IF you can remove the tape without damaging the book and get it pressed, I think this could easily be a 7.0.
