Curious what others think this grade may come back as.

Slightly blunted corners, minor to moderate spine roll, minor spine stress with minor staple tears, staples slightly discolored, slight discoloration along edges of rear cover.

IMO, without the spine roll this book would probably be in the VF+ 8.5 to VF/NM 9.0 range, with the spine roll I cannot assign a grade higher than FN+ 6.5 to FN/VF 7.0, is that how CGC will see it? 

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.

FN/VF 7.0 - The slightest spine roll may be present,

FN 6.0 - A minor spine roll is allowed.

VG/FN 5.0 - A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed.

VG 4.0 - Moderate spine roll may be present

GD/VG 3.0 - Moderate spine roll likely

Spine roll should be removable by pressing. I feel like the paper oxidation around the edges will keep the max around 8.0. The top staple also looks like there could be some micro tears. I'm a little curious about what that black printing is inside the front cover along the spine.
