7.5.. Too many color breaking stress lines.

Will depend on whether the crease is a printer crease or a regular one. Regular crease 4.5, as high as 5.5 if it's a printer crease

See:

7.0/7.5

4.0

6.0. Maybe squeak higher with some work on the white areas

I could see this getting a 4.5

Just those unfortunate stress lines on an otherwise very nice book. 8.0, maybe an 8.5.

6.0. I think the discoloration knocks it down

4.5/5.0

Hard to say with the waviness. Sometimes it's counted as a manufacturing defect b/c of how they're glued. The last picture looks like there's a long crease down the center, but it's not visible in other images.

about 8.0

5.0/5.5

As a yellow label, you're options are limited. You have to use CCS unless you have a strategy to get additional signatures at a convention. CCS doesn't seem to use the full toolbox in their work. The visible defects break color & can't be fixed anyway. Anecdotally, CGC grades come back the same without something improvable with something done to make that fix. I think there's some consideration of what the slab says when it comes in. I'd reholder & be done with it.

Around 8

8.5 give or take
