The thing about not calling it a rookie card has to do with SGC labeling the 1952 Topps Mantle as a rookie when his actual rookie is the 1951 Bowman. As far as why the card didn't get a numerical grade, you would have to ask the owner, but I'm guessing that it's either trimmed or altered in some way. Hope that helps.
