    I am disinclined to call this a bindery tear, or at least a if it started as a bindery tear, it has been enlarged (and therefore starts getting treated as a tear). A close reading of the CGC guide does describe tape not being a separate defect when used for repair (& does not lead to a restored grade), but they do characterize it as a "substance," so any discoloration, residue, etc. could be dinged. I think they leave some of these things ambiguous intentionally. I thing this scores a 6.0 if submitted.

    9.2

    4.0/4.5 writing won't matter at this grade

    6.0 with work

    5.0

    8.5ish. I'd say ceiling is 9.0 just b/c the corners all have imperfections of different types

    maybe 7.0/7.5 c/p'd. If that gunk on the back doesn't come off, or leaves a stain/residue, expect something closer to 6.

    I think the outer cover looks 6ish. That looks like a pretty big chunk out of the inner cover, so maybe 3.5. The book comes out with the 6ish in the corner.

    4.5 is about right

    3.5 for the tear.

    5.0/5.5. A detachment at a single staple by a single page will not lower the grade any further by CGC standards.

    4.0/4.5. 4.0 for a less important issue, 4.5 with a key boost.

    5.0, maybe a grade higher with the right work

    With those deep wrinkles, I have a hard time seeing this over 4.0, even pressed

    If that's a stain on the back cover, then yes, 7.5/8.0 is going to be the ceiling. 7.5 likely. I've had this happen to me.

    always possible that it's a manufacturing defect. Hard to know unless there are a lot of copies for comparison. Especially older books like this that can have a lot of accumulated damage from mishandling.

    Sounds like the front cover is more or less completely split, so 1.8 is already the ceiling. Maybe it gets there, but there's a lot going on otherwise
