Thinking about a resub. CGC graded too harshly, I think. They described the pages as White, but I don’t want to tell you their grade.

what do you guys think?

Moderate color rub on front cover, slight spine stress/ticks, slightly discolored staples, date stamp (?) written in the "T", moderate foxing at the top of rear cover.

It is hard to see cover reflectivity while in the case, being generous because it is a Golden Age book, IMO...

9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT (VF/NM):  Back to Top
Nearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is almost flat with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. Very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. Paper is off-white to cream and supple. Very minor interior tears may be present.

8.5 VERY FINE+ (VF+):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

Nice arrival date on the FC. Even with the dust shadow on the BC, structurally looks VF (8.0) - VF+ (8.5) range.
