The stain on the top edge of the back cover could knock it down to 8.0. If that isn't really a stain, then I agree with the 8.5.

How bad is the Front LLC? I assume not horrible, in which case I think it's a 8.5.

It is mottled along the LEBC and appears a little darker at the spot on the top edge - no effort has been made to clean it, so I can't say. I think the mottling may clean up, but the spot may be a light stain or fingerprinting.

It's not horrible at all, but this scan shows every little scratch. The book has no hidden imperfections, and everything shows - I'm leaning towards an 8.5 myself . . . or perhaps a 9.0

 

Unfortunately my #55 was an 8.0, and is long gone

I'd say 8.0 assuming that is a stain on the back cover and the bottom LLC is a stress mark? How is the top edge on the front?

Confirmed that it is a light stain on the TEBC.

 

The TEFC is fine - the lines which appear to be a crease or a possible tear are not - they are just scratches on the black background.

 

One other note: lower REFC wavering of line is due to 1mm overhang of front cover at lower 1/3 of book.
