I think the examples you mentioned, especially the Mayos, are incorrectly looked at more leniently than other card issues by the majority of the gradiong companies. The solid gold/black borders easily lend themselves to chipping but should not be overlooked any more than other card issues. I also think the majority of the grading companies overkill the grades on cards with very minute paper loss, especially on blank back cards and otherwise empty white card borders.
