Everyone is different when it comes to appeal of a card. An SGC30 card with a small amount of paperloss is acceptable to most collectors. The fact it has been graded SGC30 means it has already been discounted. Someone may not buy it because they consider paperloss a major defect. For others, paperloss is no big deal on a SGC30 card.
SGC are always accurate and fair in my opinion. Personally, I collect ungraded cards and grade them to oldschool, Charelton standards.
PSA seems to have made it's own rules when it comes to grading. For example, a card that is miscut or off-center can receive a NM-MT grade as long as "MC" of "OC" is written on the slab. Denoting MC or OC on the slab doesn't make the card better. Makes the slab more appealing but not the card.
