Fred CCarlos,
Someone could ask for NO QUALIFIERS but does that give the grading service the right to abandon their posted grading criteria? For example, if a card must be centered to a certain degree should the card by virtue of sharper corners, cleaner edges and higher gloss be graded higher even if the cards centering criteria is not met? We've seen this before and the debate continues. A posted criteria is just that. Any reputable grading service should adhere to their own posted standards. But hey, the little flip in the holder shouldn't mean much - seriously, who would be foolish enough to pay thousands of dollars more for a card in an 8 holder as opposed to a 7 holder? Especially since grading is so subjective.
