In my personal experience SGC will grade a card as high as a SGC 40/3 VG with paper loss. I had a Babe Ruth that was otherwise easily NrMint get a VG grade because of a speck of paper loss on the right border the size of a pin head.
I will complain that i mailed off 119 cards to SGC to get graded 58 days ago and still are not done.
