They're really all over the place if you compare the treatment of OJ's to other cards.

There's more than a few cards with obvious chips of the front image missing (with the background cardboard still intact) getting a number grade that would get knocked into AUTH or 1 territory with other card issues.

Also, because of how we (and they) accept how they were cut you see cards that would be considered "miscut" if they were other cards issues getting a number grade.

Example...
