Since I have joined and with all the research I have done trying to figure the grade of most of my cards, I have come to the conclusion, it varies a lot!
With most older slabbed cards, the grading, comparatively, was not done as strictly as what you see in newer slabs today, but that is a well known fact on here as most say both PSA and SGC are much more stringent now than they ever were.
But, with that being said, I have seen some 1'-2's etc that simply make one scratch their head, especially compared with some higher 3's and 4's.
I guess what I am trying to say is, it is basically a crap shoot (to an extent) what your card will grade at as there seems to be a lot of variables for some reason?
I have noticed this with both PSA and SGC, both have made me wonder, at times, not always, what the heck were they thinking?
