Default SGC grading inconsistencies

Inconsistent results especially with midgrade from what I can tell recently affects all 3 of the legit TPG’s. My last SGC submission, a ‘69 Rose that I thought had a chance at a 7 got a 5, due to centering and a tiny stain on the back. Several other cards then got exactly what I had predicted. Then a ‘57 Pee Wee Reese that I had figured for a 6 got a 7.5. Who knows.

At the end of the day, grading always will be a subjective game. There’s just more room for variety in the middle grades because the pyramid widens as you go down.
