Well after deciphering all of that I would say VG+ to VG/F

Before I click on the links to the images tell me how big the file sizes are.

it's very hard to grade when all four corners have been cut off by the scanner?

Hard to tell from the images...but in the VG+ range.

The water drops, tear, etc on interior pages and the rust oxidation pull this down below it's outward appearance to around a 3.5, i would think.

 

that is a wacky cover image. looks like skyscrapers burning behind the hooded figures, but deep underground. would have to be VERY deep with those tall buildings...............
