Short, sweet and correct description. I like the honesty and succinctness of "very poor" :)

I think we need qualifiers below sgc 10 poor these days, as sgc 10 cards are what I used to call g+.

We could have poor, near poor, very poor, awful etc.

You don't get too many opportunities to be able to accurately grade your card and be 100% correct...this is one of those instances :D

I always thought that "poor" should be reserved for a card that can't get any worse.

I've seen far worse cards rated "poor."

The lower on the grading scale the more subjectivity there seems to be. We have all seen a lot of technically poor cards be really nice looking, being 3-5 grades better in eye appeal.
