Once you get to a 6, ex-mt, which if properly graded is a very nice looking card, especially for pre-war, a with half grades included there are 7 additional categories. In contrast, once you go below a "2", which is "good", there are only two additional numerical categories to go all the way down to complete trash.
Why grading will always be subjective. Buy the card, not the grade. Especially if it's a T206 Wagner, lol.
