This is the problem with any printed standard that doesn't include a lot of pictures, or at least a lot of very technical language that nobody seems capable of writing.

The reason that corner is not NM is that it's not NM, and no language that talks about "wear", "touch", "rounding" or any other subjective term is going to convey this, unless you've already seen a NM card and know what it looks like.

Which means that these written standards are almost worthless.

The typical written standard cannot be used by a novice to distinguish a VG card from an EX card, or an EX card from an NM/MT card.
