There really should be more done to differentiate cards at the lower end of the grading scale. This is so much nicer than most 1's, many of which look like they were left out in the rain overnight. Does this really deserve a 1??
The ink stamping should drop it down to a 2 if I'm reading their standards correctly. I guess the card's other flaws dropped it even lower.
