James GalloI think PSA is tougher on the higher grades with the staining. I don't see anything over a 6 with stains, at least that I can recall off the top of my head.
I have also had cards that PSA has killed because of the stains, and SGC has not.
When I saw the above Cobb and Jackon the first thing I thought of was the diamond cut as well. I think saying it was the stains is an easier out.
I think the Griffith has a good shot at a 5 but I could also see it in a 4 holder.
As for different compaines assessing the staining differently it's just like anything else. How much paper loss knocks a card down to a 10, what about creasing. Its just another aspect of the gradeing.
