That is a gorgeous card! I realize they are technically following their guidelines (though I have seen SGC 50s with paperloss and PSA 6s), I think there is a flaw in the scale when a card looks that nice and is assigned the lowest possible grade. I have said it before; I think that grading should reflect the visual appeal of the card to some degree. Physical flaws like creases lower the technical grade BECAUSE they detract from the visual appeal. When a minor flaw is exaggerated in technical grading to such a degree that it obviously does not correspond with the appeal of the card, I think there is a flaw in the grading system.
