PGM Beautiful Avengers 59 except for… 2 2

[tmac100]

Hi, I have what appears to be a great copy of Avengers 59 (I’m a newbie so who knows), except for a tiny missing piece near the bottom right corner.  In not sure if it would be considered a tear or tiny chip.  Inside is complete and no staple rust.  
 

Thoughts on an estimated grade?  It does need a clean and press.

Slight corner wear with some color loss and color breaking creasing at top right corner, denting on top edge, minor spine stress with 1-2 color breaking spine ticks, staples discolored, 1/16"-1/8" triangle missing from lower edge, slight foxing on rear cover.

Due to the missing 1/16"-1/8" triangle at the lower edge, and I may be overly harsh on this, IMO, this book grades at a...

Two things to note here...

VF 8.0 - An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken.

VG 4.0 - This is the 1st mention of any pieces missing out of an edge or corner, VG/FN 5.0 does not allow any pieces missing...As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable. 

Having said all of that, IMO (I may be to harsh) FN+ 6.5

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.

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

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.

I managed to find this regarding CGC 8.0 grades:

Missing Pieces: A very tiny front cover piece up to (1/16" square) or a slightly larger back cover piece (1/8" square) are allowed to be missing on an otherwise beautiful copy.
