I give up on grading

The lower the grade, the more variance there will be in appearance between two cards graded equally. All SGC 100's of the same card will look the same. SGC 10's of the same card will be like snowflakes -- no two will look the same, as they will have lots of reasons for being graded poor, from a tack hole, to paper loss, to rat chews, to shredding, etc. So, it is not at all surprising that two cards graded SGC 40 will look different, or have been graded that way for a reason.

<<t206col, you don't have to worry about ever buying a card from graded Ex/NM or any other grade. This becuase I do not state grades of cards I sell. I provide large, hi-res scans with my auctions and note any flaws the card might have that doesn't appear on the scan.>>

The point was not that you would assign a grade, but that your description of the card would omit certain flaws that you yourself either did not see or did not consider a flaw.
