I've always believed there's a certain degree of leniency involved with an older book. So if  a Bronze Age comic came along which had the same amount of minor issues as the Avengers 1 pictured , it may be graded .2 or maybe even .4 lower? Again, just something I believe. I personally would trust the grade given.

Shouldn't a 9.6 be a 9.6 regardless of age?

From the start of the hobby, Overstreet grading standards have always been different for books with larger defects allowed on older era books. This does not stand for all defects but the Overstreet grading standards were generally easier on GA books than SA, easier on SA than Ba, and so on, etc.
