It's going to be very low with all those holes in the front cover.
The problem I see with it is the obvious centration/miswrap.
It also seems to have lost some cover gloss.
The back top & bottom edges have barely noticeable dings.
Slight corner blunting.
Slight loss of whiteness on the back.
I will assume that the white specks on large black areas are from the scanner. Mine seems to do the same thing.
My amateur grading skills would give it a 9.0

My amateur grading skills would give it a 9.0Just going by your list I would say 8.5 . Miswraps seem to pull it down allot.

| Miswraps do not effect grades except in 9.6 - 9.8 or higher. (Especially one so minor.) 9.0 - 9.2 from me.

With all those bullet holes across the front cover, I'd give no more than a 2.0.

9.2 looks right. I would probably enter it as a 9.0 in my collection, as I usually go down a step on all my books. Keeps me honest.  The corners are not blunted enough to pull it below that, especially going by the "new" Overstreet grading guide. The bigger issue is the small dings on the bottom rear cover. The larger one almost looks like it might have a small tear.
