When I first started collecting vintage a few years ago, BVG still did this. They have since stopped putting the subgrades on the BVG holders yet continue this service for modern BGS holders. It did give you an idea of what to look for when 3 of the subgrades were high, then all of a sudden one subgrade was much lower, so you could spot the flaw in the card quickly (if it wasn't already apparent from looking at a picture of it).
