For what it's worth, CGC (and most high-end collectors) will downgrade a "nice" specimen for tanning to the inside front and/or back covers.  Perhaps you could include a shot of the inside front cover.  Be careful not to stress the spine and/or staples by opening the cover too wide.

Probably grades VG👍‼️😷

Thanks for the additional images.  I'd characterize the inside front and back covers as being off-white with a ½"~1" tan halo.  (I realize the halo may appear more grey than brown, but it's still considered tanning.)  Be careful handling this one, as the tanned paper may have lost much of its original suppleness.  Books with tanned spines are prone to splitting and/or detaching from the staples.

I would agree. Technically, far fewer flaws of wear than the typical 5.0 but look at the level of edge tone on the inside cover. The cover is well on its way to becoming brittle.

Thanks for posting.

I think it's technically a 5.5, but I'd expect it to sell at a discount to the typical 5.5 because of the tanning.

I concur with the 5.0
