Wagner was graded PSA 8.

The Wagner shouldn't/shouldn't have received a number grade.

As previously stated after alterations which are supposed to prevent a card from getting a number grade the next worst flaw is a hole of any type pin, nail, staple, whole punch, etc, automatic 1 or 1.5 depending on company.

A piece missing, depending on size, can be worse than a hole. (not my hand or dog)

I think on a good day ole Large Ass Herzog could get a .5!! He only has a flesh wound and for around 109 yrs old that isn't too bad. Alas it is AUT for him...and from a more recent photo op, which he always enjoys.

Ultimately, it’s sort of arbitrary. To me, a card being very off center or having poor registration/focus is worse than a speck of paper loss on the reverse or rounding of the corners. But the latter lower the grade much more than the former.
