I always assume that if you had the rattiest ass looking card imaginable it would get a 1 or a 10 assuming it was what it was purporting to be and there was no evidence that someone deliberately manipulated it. |
Perhaps they make allowances for 1914 Cracker Jacks, perhaps there's a new standard (my Wagner below was graded in 2015 and subsequently re-slabbed), or perhaps there's another explanation. But, on a purely intuitive, "know it when I see it" level, I wouldn't expect a card missing as much cardboard as Lucio's Clemente to receive anything other than an A.
I also second the proposed new "MSCHW" designation!
