PSA SET REVIEW
PSA Q & A Question: If the amount is equal, can the "type" of corner wear affect the grade of a card in different ways?Answer: Yes. Assuming the degree of wear is virtually the same, the type of wear can certainly impact the grade in different ways. For example, a corner that simply exhibits some wear near the tip is not considered as much of a detractor as a corner that appears to have the same amount of wear but is actually missing the top layer of paper. Often times, a corner that fits that description would cause the card to grade a PSA NM 7 or lower. There are exceptions to that rule. For example, if the eye-appeal is terrific on the face of the card, the graders may reward the card by giving it a grade of PSA 8 (assuming the rest of the card qualifies as well).
