Please help me grade this Thor 203 "black cover"

[WEBHEAD]

Got a great looking Thor 203 and I wonder if I could get some help grading it. Just click the image and it will super size. I'm not sure why my signature line is on the top but I guess that it doesn't matter.ThanksWEBHEAD

The top half of the book looks like a 9.6 or so!

 

Unfortunately, several spine creases (8 or so), fairly rounded bottom corners, and a couple of edge dings bring the whole thing down to 9.0 (at most, I'd think).

 

Could we get a back cover shot?

 

Thanks,

I would say 8.5 or 9.0. Could go either way.

Is that a water stain in the green banner at the top left?

If not, 8.5 to 9.0

 

If so, 4.5

I'd go 8.5 mostly because of the 2 bottom corners. If those corners looked like the top 2, easy 9.2 - 9.4 at least. Anyway, nice copy.

I don't know if it's the scan or not... but it looks like the front cover has some stresses along the spine... with the back cover, I'd say an 8.5 overall... if the stresses are there, an 8.0.
