JMHO and I tend to grade tough because thr TPG's grade tough. Yes it is a surface defect so will take it down. All 4 corners have wear, the edges also show wear and the overall color and registration show wear as well. I would grade this card in the 3 range assuming the back is good. 71 Mays cards are difficult in high grade. And when you look to upgrade you are going to look for a bit to find a card that represents the current standard. What I am saying is since the current standard is very tough a 71 Mays graded today in a 6 is going to be very different from a 71 Mays in an older PSA holder. And very very different from a SGC 71 Mays in an older case. So be picky you only want to upgrade once. Best case senerrio is you find a nice raw copy that you like and add it to your set.
