The biggest question for 238 is: Does it have the tattooz? If it doesn't, not worth sending or you'll be stuck with that green label. Otherwise, I think this is VF/NM

It does.

I would still send. Some people on here tend to really downgrade for "production" flaws and if this is one, it will hardly factor into the grade. Consider that there are 8.0-9.0 books where people have neat written marker on the front cover and you can be assured that even if that mark is NOT production related, it will not hurt much.
 

As for grade...couple spine ticks, and that bottom of spine ding/minute crease are the biggest flaws I see. 9.0-9.2 would not be crazy here at all. Yours looks better than the copy I submitted which has a couple more ticks and a small edge crease and I am expecting 7.5ish so I highly doubt yours would be in the same range.

Yeah after reading some more comments I think I might give it a shot.  Might press and clean just to see if it’ll get rid of some of the small things you mentioned.

Is that a spine split on the top and possibly the bottom?  If so, how big? 

The spine does have a few issues.  I tried to get some pics but they didn't come out right.  The spine isn't terrible but it does have a minor split or two.

I will probably end up getting it C and P if I send it in.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Definitely a great help.

Hmmm.  Well, I don't think it's overspray...a production defect.  I'll go 7.0,maybe 7.5. 

No it isn’t overspray.  Giving me second thoughts on sending this one in now.

Is that a stain on the upper left corner edge of the back cover??

I just looked and it looks like maybe a marker?  It’s strange because I never even noticed it.  I know that sounds crazy but it just looked like it was supposed to be there to me at a glance.

I honestly never noticed if it’s a stain or not and I don’t have it in front of me.  It could be though.

I am new at this so I apologize for any errors while doing this.
