How much would a wrap defect reduce the value of a comic?

I know a manufacturing defect doesn't reduce the condition grade. But I'm assuming a wrap defect would reduce the value as people generally want a defect free copy of a book. How much would a wrap defect like the one below generally reduce the value of a book?

Your question cannot really receive an accurate answer since this defect is purely aesthetic, FMV would depend on the buyers viewpoint.

Raw books in that condition without the wrap defect are generally selling for $35.00 - $50.00 going by eBay sold auctions.

I hate wrap defects and avoid them at all times. It therefore takes me a long time to find copies of books I like, especially 70's Marvels with the banner across the top that only seems to be perfectly straight about 20% of the time. I'd rather have spine ticks than a slanted wrap.

It would depend on the grade of the book otherwise as well.
