if 10 does not equal perfect, then what does an absolute perfect card deserve for a grade? an 11?
to have a ragged edge gretzky get the same grade as a smooth edge does not make any sense to me. to me, ten is suppose to mean perfect. a ragged, or chipped edging shouldn't get a 10, even if that's how all the cards in that set were made. sheet cut, not sheet cut, doesn't matter. a 10 card should have perfect centering, sharp corners and edges, with no raggedness, no chipping, no creases, no blemishes. That's a 10. otherwise create a 9.5. psa instituted half grades, but not a 9.5, so it goes from 9 to 10. and a ragged edge card like the gretzky or aaron gets a 10? grading is way too subjective adn up to the whim of the authenticator, that can increase a cards value by 10 times if they feel good that day, and not if they get out of the wrong side of the bed, it stinks.

'10' really is silly.
You would think that the only way a card could be a '10' would be if everything about it turned out exactly as the designer had intended: centering, edges, corners, color, registration, gloss...whatever.

and I've had an sgc 86 satchel paige with pen writing over the back and a 1961 leader sgc 88 with a staple hole. S#!+ happens. if they would refuse a buyback id have more of a problem, though i agree there are too many of these things in holders. But the terrible misses i see more often as a qc problem than a grading problem.

In my opinion, Grading has only in the end made the good card doctors rich and done little to clean up the hobby.
