They only sell AA eggs here in the stores. OTOH, I've had eggs with watery albumen and an unproud yolk. I'll typically crack open an egg, hold it slightly open over the pan to precook that watery part first before dumping the rest of the egg in an effort to get a little better shape. Oddly enough, that doesn't work too great.

The giant gorilla in the room is how do they grade an egg without cracking it open?
