Tape pull on back cover (just above lower right corner on BC).

I think this book is at least VF/NM. How much does a tiny tape pull drop a books grade? Would it really drop it a full grade? These scans don't do this book justice and it looks much better in hand.

The tape pull looks to be at least an inch in length. I am not doubting that structurally it's gorgeous, but the TP removed LAYERS of the BC like a deep abrasion. I would LOVE to say it's a VF/NM, but I think the absolute highest it would go is a VF+
