How much do you think this defect would affect the grade? 2 2

[EMazman]

This is a silver age book I'm considering and this is the best pic I have...so far.  The book looks like a 9.2-9.4 except the bottom right corner of the back of the book has this defect.  I can't tell if it's a tear or just a bad crease.  So the question is how much would this defect affect the grade?   Been trying to get a better picture of that area but the seller hasn't responded yet.

If it's in the grade range you think it is I don't think the flaw is likely to downgrade the book any further. Of course, full pics of both covers and disclosure of any hidden flaws is needed for an (accurate) grade assessment.

yea it's very clean front and back.  no color breaking. Just this corner and a slight faint wear on the front logo.  it looks better than 9.2s and 9.4s of same book...aside from this defect
