I have bronze age books and some copper that weren't stored very well their first 1-2 decades. Does any soiling from ink transfer (assuming that's what it is) make the book at best a 6.0? So far I've been looking at it as a flaw that ranges from minor to major, depending on how extensive it is. Below is the back cover of my Sandman vol 1 #1. If a book had no other flaws but this, how would you grade it?

Edit: I spotted a thread on reddit related to this and picked up a new term, "stacking dirt". The white eraser cleaning method worked, so it wasn't ink staining. But I'm still interested in knowing the answer to this question.
