Default How do you grade edge wear on 1950's - 80's cards?

One reason some customers prefer the mylar sleeves that PSA will put in sometimes (and BGS always does?).

Yeah, I know what you are talking about - but that wasn’t my question. How does edge wear affect grade at what levels of severity? I’ve seen PSA 7’s and higher with some degree of edge wear (not post-slabbing due to the rails) that must have been deemed acceptable. Just kind of unsure how I feel about that. If the card has perfect corners but a noticeable edge ding, isn’t that the same or worse than a dinged corner? It’s not always graded that way.
