Agreed. The corners still look sharp, but you can tell if looking closely that they aren't perfect. Honestly throughout the history of TPG's, 5's have been all over the place. I've seen some with liberal minor corner wear, but if the corner is still all there (i.e would still be described more as "sharp" than "round" at an arm's length...) it gets a 5. On newer ones - at least from the PSA perspective - they seem to give 5's to cards with sharp / very nice looking corners that have other technical problems which will not rate higher. SGC is more of a mystery to me, but I had a least one 5 returned late last year that I suspect was due soley to centering.
