I guess the reason the Frisch got a numerical grade is the visibility of the dotted line border. However, its only showing on one side, seen others like that grade "A" like your Cobb and Speaker. Also a few of the other cards have a lot more border showing, but no dotted line. Seems like a minimum measurement would be a better way to grade strips than looking for a dotted line. The Bancroft, for example, has plenty of border and I'm guessing has measurements similar to if not larger than the Frisch. The same could be said for your Vance as well.
