Doesn't paper loss drop a card to PSA 1?

Am I mistaken?

    Probably, I guess. Does it matter much? Eye appeal seems to rule more than technical grades in Grades 1-4. I see tons of examples between all the companies that either look great or horrible for the grade. At least it's clear what you're getting.

    A PSA Good 2 card's corners show accelerated rounding and surface wear is starting to become obvious. A good card may have scratching, scuffing, light staining, or chipping of enamel on obverse.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    I've seen cards with paper loss on the back that are PSA 2, but none like that.

    I have a 74 topps Pete Rose with just a very small, miniscule loss on the back

    I have found the grading to be slightly more lenient on the older pre-war cards.

    2 cards from the 60's with paperloss on the front about the size of the point of a pen, both 8s. I probably should add that they are very sharp in every other respect except for the paper loss. The 62 Mantle/Mays has the paperloss on Mick's left forearm and the 66 Palmer on the right border 1/2" from the top.

    I completely agree with that. Technically, the age of the card isn't supposed to matter with grading, but it reality for pre-WW2 cards it does matter - these cards aren't graded as strictly in my opinion.
