Doesn't clarity and brilliance fall under the category of eye appeal? How objectively can you measure something like that? Yes, I would take the card with the Ex front and a tiny bit of back damage vs. the creased card. But if I had two VG-EX Old Judges and one had a much better photo, I would take it. So if I can make that judgment myself, why can't people who are paid to grade cards make the same judgments too, with some set of predetermined rules as their guide (hey, we're both sticking to our guns pretty well- good thing we are friends)?
