I am fine with this as a VF/NM grade from an as-is online purchase perspective. Maybe a 9.2. I always price in overgrading when buying online these days.
I'm mostly concerned with the apparent slight darkness along the bottom edge of the BC. From a CGC perspective, you should account for the fact that there are >25K copies and, anecdotally, the more copies graders see, the more likely they are to nitpick the smallest defects. For reasons it's not worth elaborating on, I have 4 copies of this book in slabs: 2×9.2, a 9.4 and a 9.8. The latter were graded recently, and I believe looked better before pressing than this copy (they were then pressed). It would be hard to tell which was which pre-grading in photos (they are somewhere in this forum if you want to go digging). The 9.2s are both 1st gen slabs and one is clearly a lesser copy, and there are no noticeable spine indentions in the better copy. The standards may have drifted in the last 22ish years but the 9.2s also were unlikely to have been pressed. You could get a 9.6 pressed, 9.4 is more probable & I doubt it would get to 9.8, but you never know.
