When a stamp comes in for a graded cert, the grade would normally be the last thing done. Looking at overall condition would be done first. Assuming the perfs were found to be genuine, the grade would probably be based on the side off the most.

Bill Crowe (wtcrowe) would know about the vignette. Hopefully he weighs in.

Based on these, I would say that the vignette has nothing to do with the grades.

I find that strange. If they are going to obsess over a short perf and consider color, design impression etc. it is odd to me that a poorly registered vignette has no impact.

Found it in PSE guidelines!

Quote:
Extremely Minor Fault

Gum skips or short gumming on NH stamps
Minor natural gum bend
Tiny natural paper inclusion not visually distracting
Guideline on perf tips of one side
Natural surface wrinkle on the face of a rotary press stamp
Vignette significantly shifted on bi-color stamps
Corner perf tip crease
Tiny, light toned spot
One shorter perf, about half normal length

Now all we have to discover is what they mean by "significantly". Which goes back to whatever whoever is looking at that moment thinks it is.
