5.5/6.0 unless that creasy thing on the front cover is a printers crease. It does not look like one. Between that and the discoloration on the back cover, I don't see this getting near VF grades regardless of any c/p. I don't se much that's correctable since the discoloration doesn't appear to be surface grime.
