Blunted corners with color breaking creases and tears, moderate edge wear with multiple color breaking creases and what appears to be a piece missing from the top edge, multiple/numerous moderate color breaking horizonal/vertical/diagonal creases across cover, moderate to severe spine stress with long spline splits at the top and bottom, minor spine roll, long color breaking diagonal crease on rear cover, small horizonal tear along spine of rear cover, 

Unfortunately with the two large spine splits I cannot assign a grade higher than GD- 1.8

VG 4.0 - Moderate spine roll may be present and/or a 1" spine split. 

GD/VG 3.0 - May have a spine split of anywhere from 1" to 1-1/2". 

GD 2.0 - May have up to a 2" spine split.

FR/GD 1.5 -  May have a spine split between 2" and 2/3 the length of the book.

 

2.0 GOOD (GD):  Back to Top
Shows substantial wear; often considered a "reading copy." Cover shows significant wear and may even be detached. Cover reflectivity is low and in some cases completely absent. Book-length creases and dimples may be present. Rounded corners are more common. Moderate soiling, staining, discoloration and foxing may be present. The largest piece allowed missing from the front or back cover is usually a 1/2" triangle or a 1/4" square, although some Silver Age books such as 1960s Marvels have had the price corner box clipped from the top left front cover and may be considered Good if they would otherwise have graded higher. Tape and other forms of amateur repair are common in Silver Age and older books. Spine roll is likely. May have up to a 2" spine split. Staples may be degraded, replaced or missing. Moderate staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Centerfold may be loose or detached. Moderate interior tears may be present.

1.8 GOOD- (GD-):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Good but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

1.5 FAIR/GOOD (FR/GD):  Back to Top
Shows substantial to heavy wear. Books in this grade are commonly creased, scuffed, abraded, soiled, and possibly unattractive, but still generally readable. Cover shows considerable wear and may be detached. Almost no cover reflectivity remaining. Book-length creases, tears and folds may be present. Rounded corners are increasingly common. Soiling, staining, discoloration and foxing is generally present. Up to 1/10 of the back cover may be missing. Tape and other forms of amateur repair are increasingly common in Silver Age and older books. Spine roll is common. May have a spine split between 2" and 2/3 the length of the book. Staples may be degraded, replaced or missing. Staple tears and stress lines are common, as well as rust migration. Paper is brown and may show brittleness around the edges. Acidic odor may be present. Centerfold may be loose or detached. Interior tears are common.

CGC's standard is a 1.8 for a full split, you're not there yet but I suspect the additional creasing is going to have an impact. 2.0/2.5 since it looks 3ish without splits.
