Grade is in --> PGM Star Wars #68

Hello, thanks for your help!  There is a small tear near the staple, about 3mm in length.  Would this be considered a "very slight staple tear"?   There's also a spine roll, crease, slight spine tick and dimple.  What kind of grade increase would pressing give me?

Is that a split of the upper spine corner, or just wear??

By split, do you mean a tear?  I think it's just some wear, but, unfortunately, I can't confirm this, as I just sent it in to CGC and didn't take any more pictures.

I'll report back what they say, though (whenever that is).

Just got the book today - I was very pleasantly surprised.  Pressing completely removed that little dimple near the "Gene Day" on the left side.  I thought CGC would ding the book more due to the tear caused by the bottom staple, but apparently not, as it's considered "very light".  I'm very happy, needless to say.  Thanks everyone for their input!

Grader Notes:
very light spine stress lines to cover
very light staple tears
