Yellowing of a card- affects on grade

CNote

I have some cards from '85 that show varying degrees of yellowing on the back side- which is supposed to be white with just black text. Some of it is just on the edges all the way around the card, and some instances it is just on the top or bottom. Does anyone have experience with how this affects the grade? Does it come back (ST)?

What brand are you asking about?

1985 Hasbro Transformers cards. I have back scans of existing cards on my registry here so you can see. I don't have any scans of the yellowing; I'll need to scan a couple cards to get some input.

PSA seems to be forgiving on yellowing if it's not really dark, you might have trouble getting 9's or 10's though.

The 1960 Nu-Card Highlites cards are all "toned" and they seem to grade those fairly. In fact I had one that was bright white and looked perfect and PSA refused to grade it "questionable authenticity".
