I have to say
...seeing front scans of PSA/SGC 1 cards that look minty mint to which people respond that the card was obviously undergraded is quickly developing into one of my Net54 pet peeves.
People -- card grading is not designed to organize cards on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of beauty or eye appeal. It is designed to capture the flaws in a card and alert potential buyers of those flaws in a way that was impossible prior to the advent of grading, i.e., to avoid me finding a back crease in my friend's 1933 Tris Speaker on the way home from a card show, when he thought the card was EX. To be sure, people who sell their mint looking 1s for crap looking 1s prices are missing the boat. But that doesn't mean that the mint looking 1s should be graded any higher. Buy the card -- not the holder; but use the number to help guide your purchase.
