Even worse are Old Judges that have virtually no wear and superb photos, but because of a tiny bit of reverse paper loss get graded Fair.

Conversely, I've seen them with light blurry photos, but because they exhibit no wear are graded Near Mint- and they look awful.

We've had this discussion many times and nothing to date has been done about it. It's perhaps the one instance where collectors are unanimous that the grading companies are clueless.
