1) Grading is best used to tell you what you can't see from a scan. The Matty that looks VG didn't need to be graded; the one with the hairline crease did.
2) Grading is like a pyramid. At the top, all the 10's will look the same because they're perfect, but as you downgrade from 9 to 8 to 7 .... to 3 to 2 to 1, the reasons for each grade will vary dramatically. At the lower levels, there are a whole host of reasons for low grades. At the bottom, not all 1's will look alike -- in fact, it is probably safer to say that all 1's will be uniquely damaged.
