I've seen some questionable "1"s but this takes the cake...

I imagine that there is an acceptable percentage of missing paper that they feel still allows for a 1.

It had to be 5 O'Clock somewhere on a Friday morning, from the stress of grading cards

From my viewing experience, it feels like anything more than 10% missing and it seems like the authentic designation comes in.
Off subject I worked as a bank teller my senior year of high school and the first year or two of college. The fed rules and the bank rules were any bill that has 51% or more remaining is redeemable. We just sent them back to the main vault and they were added to the destruction pile to be sent to the treasury.
I had a young kid come in (11-12) one summer a deposit a pile of dollar bills that all had about an inch strip missing at different points and taped together one week. I’ll be damned because I was waiting for it, he came in next week with about 4-5 dollars comprised of the taped together strips of one inch pieces. :cool:
I laughed at his little ingenuity as I was 18 and this kid committing some kind of creative federal crime was hilarious to me. I deposited them but very clearly told him I knew what was up and his face was heartbroken that his mastermind plan was broken. He didn’t try it again, but it was an interesting plan.

I think that’s easily a 1 with SGC. Great looking card. You should submit it.

Without seeing the back it is tough to say but it looks like a definite 1 based on a lot of other 1’s I see.
More paperloss would have lowered it to an Authentic but it is not that much and it is away from the player

seeing some of the cards in this thread, feeling like this may grade a 1 if he got resubmitted.
