Zegeroth Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I’ve got this at a 8.5 unless that stain affects the grade? I’m thinking a slight chance it can press to a 9, but doubtful? Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH1964 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Those marks are called Distributor stripes and are not a defect. Given that, the color breaking creases on the spine, weak corners (blunted or abraded), corner bends, edge wear and discolored staples (possibly rusted) this maybe grades out at a 6.5 or 7.0. Clean and press to a 7.5/8.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
