How does a card w/ paper loss grade a 4?

[z28jd]

I have a PSA 5 Old Judge card with two dots of paper loss on the front, one about the size of a pin head, one a little smaller. Got the card from a friend who just got it graded, so I know it was legit. The funny thing is I also bought a PSA 2 at the same time and it was much nicer than the 5

More. I honestly do not think the percentage is a lot higher the problem lies with the same horribly graded cards continue to be flipped because someone buys the card and hates it so they sell. Plus SGC is honestly more willing to admit a mistake and buy the card back. That I agree with 100%.

I understand grading is subjective, but it's cards like the Cy Young that really confuse me. Everyone has their doubts about some grades, but the ones that no human on Earth should miss are the ones that anger me and make me question the company that grades them.

I know a lot of people go back and forth on PSA and SGC about their grades not being legitimate, but as long as they comply with their set grading standards, I don't see the problem (obvious hiccups do not apply ). Not every company goes by the same standards, so it is unfair to judge them to one universal list.

I collect graded cards from the big three and do it based on appeal and not the grade, so there is no bias over here

OJ grades make no sense to me. The companies need to find a way to account for image quality.

Just saw this one on eBay... it's got a qualifer for being MC, but they missed a stamp on the back "55". Guess it's a 5 MC/MK.

I have a Mays rookie that's graded PSA-5MC and a '52 Topps J Robinson that's PSA5-OC, both of which have NM or EXMT+ at worst corners/border/surface. Their only flaws are the qaulifier, but it seemed to me the grader dinged them on their numerical grades too for being OC/MC. Oh well, I bought them graded and have no interest in trying to get them bumped.
