Are these scans of the correct #300? I agree with Thanos, looks NM range in the scans. It's hard to sync up the pictured book with your description.

 

--When you say top staple is loose, do you mean the staple has a bit of play there, or that the cover wrap is pulling/pulled through?

 

--Ink on pages... like a production flaw, or something more?

not sure the ink stains are on the pages

 

when I move the cover it kinda slides around

Well, very hard to say without the book in hand. The eye appeal is killer, but from your description I'd say you're describing a 7.5-8.0 or so book, maybe lower depending on the interior stains and assuming cover still attached at both staples. The stains would worry me more than anything, and might warrant a return on their own unless you got a really good deal.

Jeez, just based on the pics 9.4. I dont see a spine roll issue here. Staple areas look good, maybe just a bad production issue? Either way, fine looking book here.

[Point Five]

I'd agree; if the pics are showing the worst of it, not seeing anything fatally wrong. Any rust on the staples at the centerfold?

I checked the centerfold and I didn't see any rust on it
