Hiya Steve,
No doubt OJ's fall into a similar category. Personally I look at those differently though. Yes we've seen some examples in mid to high grade with an image you can barely make out, but for the most part lower graded examples we see are due to paper loss on the reverse.
There really doesn't seem to be a specific consistent criteria third party grading follows though when it comes to 14 CJ's. I see so many with a nice clean front and back with no creases yet have a spot or two of staining and range from vg to ex. Drives me nuts!
