2.0. Book presents generally better, but the grade hits for that water damage are going to be significant because it's touched a significant area of the cover -- and, more importantly, because it penetrates the entire book and has compromised the paper integrity on both the front and back cover (as we see from the paper loss).

Shame about that, really, because the colors on this copy are really full and rich. I imagine this would outperform its technical grade.

Agree with all this. I love books like this that present *way* better than their technical grades, but the flaws listed above... plus possible rust migration and interior staining in those areas. In CGC-land it's probably a 1.8/2.0 tweener.
