Hi Glyn - I realize that you are right when you say that "there is a difference between eye appeal and technical grade," and this is what bugs me about TPG. IMO, these 2 cards illustrate this difference - I think this Matty should grade at least as high as this WaJo; but even though I think the Matty has greater eye appeal, it apparently has more technical faults.
For a card that is in lower grade (less than EX) (almost all of my vintage collection), all I want from a TPG is a slab and to know whether my card is both authentic and unaltered, or not.
