Rather than see the grade of 1, which I felt was meaningless, I would rather have seen the label read "NR MT front, reverse paper loss." That tells me everything I need to know about the card. The grade 1, on the other hand, told me absolutely nothing. The card could still have received a grade, in this case perhaps Good or Very Good.

Now of course I know the graders would never phase out the numerical system, but that would be my wish. Switch to a descriptive system with a short but to the point assessment of the card.

SO maybe a grade for the front and one for the back is what you might be interested in??
