Thanks Matt. While I (and others) may think that paper loss on the back does not grant a VG-EX grade, I can definitely see your side of the argument in that PSA hasn't said paper loss automatically gives it lower than a 4. So while the complaint that PSA's grading standards are not correct or are not up to our standards may be a valid one, it seems invalid to complain that they are misgrading according to their standards.

I wonder how people graded paper loss on the back in the 80s and before? My guess is it was something like: "grades NM, with a slight blemish on the back".
