C&P for 6.5.

Thanks for posting.

I see a possible crease on the front (top right) and back (middle left), but they don't appear to extend like I would expect. Not sure what's going on with that. I'll say 6.0±0.5

[marvelmaniac]

Edge/Corner wear w/color breaking creases, spine roll/fanned pages, staples off center, minor to moderate spine stress w/color breaking spine ticks, "10" written in marker at upper left corner.

IMO this book does not present as well as the ST 135 you posted and the grade reflects that.

6.0 FINE (FN):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4" spine split or severe color break. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centerfold may be loose.
