Hey gang, I'm wondering if anybody might be able to help me out with this.

I recently bought a copy of FF 52 (Finally!) and found on one page, the top portion of the page came loose from the staple. The bottom of the page is still attached to the bottom staple.

In the pictures below, you can see the page sticking out from the cover unless I manually place it properly.

I'm just wondering how much this will affect the overall grade/condition of the book. 

Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

Echo what's been said, and will add that centerfolds detached at one staple have no effect on grades up to *about* 5.0-5.5 or so, and very little effect up to...say....7.0. Maybe if a book was otherwise a 7.5, it might get knocked down to 7.0...? Maybe? Rough estimates, but I've seen beautiful 8.0 copies with completely detached centerfolds...which is a heartbreaker, because otherwise the books were 9.4 or better. But in the mid to lower grades...very little, if any, effect for one staple detached.
