After looking at listing after listing here, on ebay and various A/H's, etc, I thought I had a pretty good handle on things, but after slowing down in my research I started noticing things a little more differently.
It was during that time that I starting seeing things more clearly, more carefully and realized what I thought I had learned was all for not.

I learned how to grade 25-30 years ago. I know what the standards were then, and what I would judge this card to be based on how I learned to grade and then how my opinions evolved with experience since that time. I’m not asking because I don’t know. I was asking because I was curious to see how other’s opinions and understandings of the same lined-up. Grading is almost a sub-hobby of mine. I just think it’s interesting to see how it’s evolved, and the discrepancies that can still exist today. One man’s 4 corners are sometimes another man’s 6. There is a subjective element to it which will likely never go away completely.
