I agree. One grade should reflect the state of preservation of the card, and the second should detail the adequacy of the manufacturing ie. intensity of color, contrast, focus, cutting irregularities, print lines, other manufacturing errors (including wrong player shown). These grades can be divided into decimal increments of 9.0 - 10.0 applied to unused cards, for example.

0.0 = card not identifiable as a baseball card. Portions of a card should grade much higher (maybe 0.7)
