1/4 of back cover missing...

When grading a book the grade depends on the overall condition of the book.

In this case if you are correct and the book is a VF 8.0 with 1/4 of the back cover missing I would assume if sent to CGC you would get a Green Qualified Label which grades the book as if the defect was not there but the defect would be noted on the label.

If you were to grade this book as is I would think you could expect at least a 2 point drop for a defect that serious.

Remainder Copies that have the top 1/4 - 1/3 of the front cover missing are generally graded as a PR 0.5 - FR 1.0 regardless of the condition of the rest of the book, they are not as harsh on the back cover but how harsh are they???

Depending on what your plans are for the book, remainder copies and copies such as yours are ways to get keys or more expensive books for your collection at a much lower price, if the story is still intact that is what is important to me.
