AND definitely has attributes of a 7-8. If you owned the card you'd see the sharp corners and overall good-excellent front.

I think the issue is that a "1" today encompasses a very large bucket and covers everything from total beaters to items with technical flaws that do not really affect aesthetics. In many regards, old standards were better because a 2-7 meant more and had wider application. If you look at some PSA 5's from the early years, many could not get a 3 today. The problem is not so much PSA today as how PSA's standards and requirements have changed so much over the years.

All that said, Leon is right - aesthetics matter most, especially with an item like yours, which I expect is pretty rare.
