Few days ago, I bought a AMS300 graded at 9.4. When I received it, I found there are around 6-7 spin ticks and a one long color break the the open side. Once I got the slab, I thought it is a 8.5 since there are long color break on the open side. Can anyone please kindly give me some suggestion? Is this book worth for 9.4 instead of 8.5? is the grader just miss that long color break? 
 

That's a sharp looking copy, but if you want a nicer one, it shouldn't be that hard to find...

I think printers creases are ok unless they show white color, as some layer of the color has rubbed off over time
