How do you handle impressions from packing straps when you are grading?

that's a toughie...6.5

Well, I think if the impressions were the only thing going on, the 6.5 would be a possibility. However, there is some browning/tanning or whatnot. And some staining in general.

 

I'd grade it a 5.5 myself. There's a chance I'm being too harsh.

I have a few books with similar impressions and always assumed the damage was moisture related. No idea how to grade the book, but it's a nice one for sure.
