How much paper loss can a 4.5 have if it's a Cobb Rookie?
 

From REA's catalog for the current auction. Sure looks like clear paper loss by his hat, noticeable from a distance while just scrolling through the online catalog. Does not seem in accord with what a 4.5 has ever been.

So is SGC incredibly corrupt, or are they not even looking at big cards anymore? The listing notes REA submitted the card. Surely somebody noticed this.

I guess if the Wagner is a 5 and the Mantle a 9.5 then this can be a 4.5 All my 2's are now 4's. SGC's new scale is wild.
