Do you not see the top layer of paper is missing on two of the corners?

Yes. It looks like typical T206 corner wear to me.

Not on any of the cards in my set. I wish I could get that type of favorable grading from PSA.

Aaaaand, that's exactly why you don't condemn with sanctimony over grading.
I'm exactly with Rats, it's a 3.5 for me at best and never a vg-ex because of the paper loss and wrinkly bottom right corner.
Another long time collector above who has had some of the great cards in the hobby has it as ex-ex+.

If it's not a Wagner but a $60 common, no one thinks it's in particularly good condition for a T206. My opinion, of course.

But that matters not a jot.
If I'm happy with the price of the card in its state, regardless of how we are both assessing said condition, then it's a win for both parties.

Like I said, it never takes long to work out how a particular dealer tends to evaluate his cards. Most tend to be pretty consistent in that manner.
Still a shitty take for mine to pillory someone in the manner that has been done in this thread for the reasons given.
