I couldn't agree more. And there's no way that card is closer to a "5" per the seller's description. I still can't believe it's a 4. I own a lot of 4's, and none of them have corners that bad.
I guess PSA's logic is that the color and clarity of the card are much better than what one typically sees on vg-ex Goudeys, but that gunk on the left is pretty distracting. I don't think I'm as critical of the technical grade of the card as you guys are, but if I were in the market for a PSA 4 '33 Ruth, I'd probably keep looking.
But back on topic, if there is an obvious mark or stain it should be reflected in the grade. I know you can say NQ on your submission form, but I do not believe that is the case here as the card would be a 4 without the stain/mark at best, I guess I question the inconsistency.

The Clemente was an obvious error on PSA's part, and was talked about in length several months ago. Nice try.
