Thanks David. Maybe the comments I recall reading were about crossovers.
I was going to post some scans for review, but what I have is on white background and won't allow anyone to really be able to evaluate the corner wear, which is what this seems to come down to almost entirely. I need to accept that fact and move on. I keep thinking that the overall appearance of the card matters most, but the corners seem to drive the grades.
That would be a good thing for me if I was collecting again, as there are relative bargains out there that will only qualify for modest grades, and I'd certainly be a "buy the card, not the holder" guy. But as someone who is mostly in the selling mode, selling cards purchased when VG, EX, and Mint meant entirely different things, it is not so good. Oh well, that's life. It's only cardboard.
