How many flaws/defects do you think is permissible per grade tier (9.8 / 9.9 / 10)

According to Overstreet Comic Book Grading Guide (OCBGG)

 

9.8 (NM/MT Near Mint/Mint) = 1 to 2 allowable flaws/defects only subtle bindery/printing defects, no bindery tears permitted. Small, inconspicuous dates/initials are allowed.

 

9.9 (MT Mint) = 1 allowable flaw/defect of only subtle bindery/printing defects, no bindery tears permitted. Small, inconspicuous dates/initials are allowed.

 

10 (GM Gem Mint) = 0 allowable flaws/defects with the exception of only the slightest, most imperceptible bindery/printing defects.

 

And does the age (Gold/Silver/Bronze etc.) of the book matter when determining these defects/flaws and permissible quantities per?

This poll was run in another sub-forum but poster suggested it be posted in a more appropriate sub-forum. This must be it?!
