and my 2 cents worth..... I find that there is nothing quite like an oversized, high quality scan to bring me back down to reality.
Stuff you cant see just looking at "card in hand" jumps out in all of it's painful glory.
7s are usually fairly difficult to determine
8s are almost impossible and
9s don't exist in the wild
As for your 4 - I suspect there is a wrinkle on the card that you are not seeing. Any wrinkle/crease, no matter how insignificant, automatically drops the grade to a 5 at best.
