Please grade this Secret Wars #8 0

[SerialGrape]

I just grabbed a secret wars lot from ebay for a decent price. They all look in great shape, but just wondering what number 8 would grade at if submitted.

There are some slight stains on the back cover 

 

These are just photos from the listing.

Any advice is appreciated!

Seems to have similar pros and cons to this which was posted last week.

If it sits in the 9 range I'll be more than happy for the price. I thought it had a shot in that range, but again, I'm pretty rubbish with grading, hence why I'm here.

There's no spine ticks that I can see, the corners are sharp aside from the bottom right which looks a little blunted (this may just be the photo, I won't know until it's in hand)

And the staining on the back.

Cheers for that link.

It may be a little different out of the bag, but it looks good enough to be no lower than 8.5  imo. but does depend on the extent of the staining.

8.0-8.5, though I always aim a bit lower when I send mine in. Without seeing the entire book, a 9.0 is possible, though I would expect this range IMO.

would be more accurate if you can take the comic out of the bag and retake the photos again (with a brighter lighting environment). from what i can see from the pic, I'd say 8.5?

Yeah, I'll take some propper shots when I get it in hand.

Cheers.

8.5-ish. Can't tell if it's the bag, but it looks like a press may help.
