+1

[Roddulate]

7.5 as is 

[vheflin]

9.0 oww after press, maybe 9.2

the only wear being the ding on the spine, I assume a press would remove the crinkles on the back

BUT, the back crinkles look like water damage and if it is, all bets are off.

As is, I am at 8.0. As long as those are just wrinkles and not stains on the bottom of the back cover and the top edge. If stains, could bump closer to 7.0. If they are wrinkles and a press can smooth, I honestly would not be shocked at a 8.5-9.0. Great copy and if you are a "slabber", I would def be curious to see what it comes back at.

Should the penciled price be removed?

Otherwise, just leave it as is.

I decided to leave the pencil mark on BC (it's part of history) and had it pressed.

It's shipped today and it's Express Tier so I should get it within two weeks. Maybe third week.
