Whats up with the middle part of the spine? Is that some type of "chew"? If it is, i have no clue, but a very low grade. If it isnt, maybe 4.5 5.0. This is a guess as I dont really look at anything below vf. Not craking on your book, just saying cause im a silver/bronze dude.

I agree, it could be a solid VF 4.0, but any additional wear at the center of the spine or on the BC, which we can't see, could drop it as low as a GD 2.0 - we'll need a description and a scan of the BC

i'm thinking at least a fine 5.0 before taking into account that middle spine issue. can't see what's wrong there but as alex pointed out the black line just disappears for an inch or so...........

Um, last time I checked, this was a Silver Age book?

 

Assuming that mid-spine issue is not an actual defect, I'd say this looks like a VG+ 4.5 to me. Simply too many creases, too much wear and staining...

 

If that spine "thing" is in fact some sort of defect (wear, tear, etc.) I'd drop by guesstimate to around 3.0
