Alright, so I was looking at some past sales of the World Wide Gum DiMaggio, and I came across these two cards:

One is graded SGC 5 and the other SGC 7. Now here are the backs:
SGC 5

SGC 7

If you blow the back scans up, it appears that somebody glued the edges and put them into a scrapbook.
Here is a closer shot of the SGC 7:

If you look at the top-right corner, you can even see what appears to be minor paper-loss.
I'm just very surprised that SGC gave these two cards such high grades. If I had been the grader, I would have given them PR to GD.
Your thoughts?
