Why is the grade 2?

yes

May I know why is the grade for this card so low at a 2? There aren't any huge major defects. Thanks!

Looks like a crease about 2/3rds of the way down on right border.

Crease shows up on the other side as well. Second pic, left border.

Yup, definitely creased.

Should have been a 3 in my opinion, but yeah.

It's not the crease (and there is also a wonky corner too), it's the ink loss on the back of the cards, the white dots. Might be slight indentation, thus paper loss is my guess. Also see some black marks (ink?) . A little harsh, looks like a solid 4 to me.

yes

Yea, I also feel that it couldve been a bit higher. A 2 is a bit too low. Thanks all!

This is what happens when you get into too many absolutes with grading. Try to make it easier for graders and take away the subjectivity of it and you end up with a card like this being graded a 2.

What would you grade a creased card with paper loss?
