<<Examples that have back damage due to scrapbooking or archival activities, should generally not grade higher than Vg-Ex. With most types of writing, I would look at the defect in a similar manner; although I would rather have a card with a small amount of writing than with paper loss. >>
I absolutely agree with this, which is why I take umbrage at the "holistic" approach to grading.
