What is the best grade you've received on a card with minor binder bend/ding?

I know it depends on the severity. But let's just say it's minor and only visible in angled light, but it's clearly there.

From my experience, CGC is slightly more lenient with digs/dents vs other grading entities that treat a microscoping ding like a full-card crease lol but just wanted to get some dialogue going on: 

  • What is the best grade you've personally received on a card with a binder dent/ding?
  • What do you think the MAXIMUM best possible grade is on a card with a binder dent/ding?

I've asked CGC about it before, and they gave me a very eloquent non-answer. Personally, I think the best I've received is a 7.5 as the surface was a 6.5 and the rest of the sub-grades carried the card (to a max of 1 overall point above the lowest sub-grade). I'm going through my slabs to find it and will post a pic.

Best I've gotten was a 7.5, but not from a binder. The ornaments they shipped the special delivery Pikachu with put a nice dent in it.
