Upon 1st look, book looks very sharp, but because of its staple placement has developed a weird tear that is barely noticeable until you open up the book. Staple is still attached. Thoughts?

Staple tears are 7.0-9.6 depending on severity. I have an 8.5 & 9.0 both with less tear, so 7.5/8.0 depending on how much forgiveness there is for the placement being the cause.

Thanks for your thoughts. I kind of thought this presented better than VF+ (not considering the tear). If only considering the first 2 pics, what about the book would downgrade its presentation to a VF+? Not doubting you, just trying to learn because in my mind, it presented like a 9.0+ before the tears.  Thanks

The range I provided came from the CGC guide. To go lower than 7.0 there would have to be a defect that was worse than the staple tear
