I recently found a book I've been looking for at a local store at a good price. Overall its a really clean modern book except the bottom left corner/spine has a decent sized tear. The top corner is normal. I have attached pictures of the corner and was wondering how this defect would affect the grade of an otherwise 9.2-9.6 book? I realize they aren't the greatest pictures, but hopefully you get the gist. Thanks for the input.   |

| Looks like It has a lower corner split, and rubbing of the surface color. What grade was it sold as? | ||

| It wasn't sold to me at any grade, it was just on sale and it was a variant that I had been looking for | ||

| Below is a book I had graded that had a tear. No any other real issues with the comic, as you can see. Pretty sure the tear took it down to the 8.0. Hopefully this helps in gauging the grade. Amazing Spider-Man #1 Marvel 1966 Variant: Golden Records Reprint Pedigree: 8.0 Certified Off-White/White Signees: Notes: light tan interior cover edges light discoloration back cover spine by staples 2/3" tear left top back cover |

| If the rest of the book is flawless, maybe an 8.5. | ||
