PGM Wolverine #1 1982 4 4

Hi everyone - First time posting in this section.  I used to collect many years ago and have just recently gotten back into the hobby.  I have a number of comics from when I was younger and just wanted to get some opinions.  I have this complete Wolverine set from when I first started collecting.  I think 2-4 are in better shape then this first book.  The area of concern is on the front page where there appears to be a cat claw hole just to the left of Wolverine's claw.  I'm assuming this will significantly impact the grading of this.  Any thoughts overall?  thanks ahead of time.

1"-2" crease/tear by the "E" in Wolverine, Tear/Hole/Stain to the left of Wolverines extended claws, small color rub/stain by Wolverine's left shoulder, slight color rub on spine.

The book overall is very nice, however the 1"-2" crease and tear hole on the left cover prevent this book from getting a higher grade.

IMO...

7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.

Yup…7.0.

I'm at 6.5, but I always worry about CGC killing books with a defect like that.
